Who/what Is 'other'

[pastafreak]

Amazon tells me my package (a book-ordered from The Book People) is being delivered by Other...

Other than what? Is this a new courier service or Amazons way of saying they don't know who is delivering it?

I'm puzzled..

Weren't the 'others' the baddies in Lost?

Other than their normal courier

"Other than their normal courier "

haha....they gave me a tracking number-to be used on 'others' website...wherever that is.

Managed, I guess, by A.N. Other?

[friedgreentomato]

click on the tracking number does it not take you to the website?

[pastafreak]

That would be too easy fgt...the number is not supplied as a link...just as some helpful information...so not clickable.

"Your item(s) is (are) being sent by Other. Your tracking number is ****************. You can track your package directly on the carrier's website. "

Don't worry...I'm finding this strangely funny.
