Strange Coincidence...... or...... ?

Probably not related, other than it's a Fedex story.

A friend in Florida has a machine shop and ordered around $150 worth of electronics a few weeks ago. It shipped Fedex and showed delivery a few days late. But he hadn't received it.

He spent way too much time arguing with Fedex but finally got them to check into it. Turns out it had been delivered a couple of blocks down the road - to a nursing home.

So he sends an employee to the nursing home to collect the package, a bit confused that they hadn't bothered to call and tell him they received his package. When asked, the people at the nursing home told him that they'd given it to his secretary when she came to get it the same day it arrived. He doesn't have a secretary.

The shipment got replaced but I don't remember if it was by the company he dealt with or if fedex handled it. Anyhow, kinda funny that a random person would know that a package got delivered to the wrong address.
