Oh no oh no oh no oh no

My kindle was delivered or tried to be delivered while i was gone today They will prbably try again tomorrow, but I have to go away tomorrow too. Don't they ever think about people working ang stuff?

What to do?? I'm sort of panicking here!!! Help me!! Help me calm down! I'm almost crying seriously. I think I will skip "work" tomorrow if that's my opportunity to get it. I'm death scared it will be loosed..

Can you arrange to have it delivered elsewhere - say work or a neighbor? Don't panic - it won't get lost. Contact the carrier to arrange delivery. Breathe!

  LOL

If it's being delivered by UPS, and you want to, I think you can go to the local UPS facility and pick up the package in person.  I did that recently -- not with my Kindle, but with a couple of cell phones I had ordered.  You should call whoever the carrier is right away and see what the options are.  It might be out for delivery again already, though, depending on the carrier.

Can you pick it up at a UPS Store?

[Mandy]

Just call the UPS. I had the same problem recently, so I called UPS and requested that the driver re-deliver the same day. However, he got the message too late and it was brought back to the facility. The facility was open until 7pm so I just picked it up from there. Good luck!

[Winter9]

Okay, I talked to them. I have to skip work tomorrow. Don't take the chance that it will be lost..

Can you believe it? I would have had my dear kindle by now, but my housekeeper wouldn't kvit for it or what it is called in english. I van't believe it!! Can't blame him though, probably would have been scared for myself. I have looked forward to getting my kindle so much, and it was here! And now it is back in oslo. They didn't even put it at the local postoffice. Then I would have had it by now  

I can I make time pass until tomorrow? Soon finished my book too. Kind of sad now. And I feel really bad for skipping work.. It's not exactly work though. It's a place where you are to find out what to do with your life.

Say something to make time go fast peeps. It goes slooooooooow......

But Winter is overseas 

[Anju No. 469]

Winter - go to the Not Quite Kindle Thread, or the Picture Thread - go waaay back and read some of the older posts, you will find yourself quite entertained    And don't forget we are all here for you!  Just be sure and let us know when you get it 

[Winter9]

Okay, maybe I will actually do that! And finish my book of course, The Catcher in the Rye. But to think I could have been a proud kindleowner by now, and now she's back in Olso, an hour from here 

Well well at least I will have it by tomorrow. Now I just have to think about how to put it into words to the leader of the course. It's a reading and writing program, so kindle fits right in, but a little thin exuse anyway. I won't lie to him, that's for sure, so I will just tell him quite frankly that I have to wait for my kindle (I told him about her) and that I will do extra tasks when I get back.

Thank you for calming me down hehe. I was a bit freaked out here now.

I remember how excited I was.   Dona is right, you can read a lot of really funny and interesting things to take your mind off of it.

I tried hmm but I guess my mind is too settled on kindle. Can't focus. Haha. I will conitue reading other kindle-related things here I think. Still a bit unsure if I should charge the battery fully too. I think I am to scared about doing anything wrong with my kindle, should relaxe a bit haha.

[drenee]

It's not quite as sensitive as you might be scared of.  I had K1 and now K2 and I've only had to reboot a couple of times.  Nothing to panic about.  (Although I did panic the first time.)  Just remember that there is always someone on KB that has an answer, and these days the Board is active almost 24 hours a day.
We're always here for you.

Thanks! That's really good to know! What is reboot exactly?

[Betsy the Quilter]

Winter, keep us posted and let us know when you receive your Kindle!

There is a slide switch on the top that you will use to wake your Kindle up. 
To wake up you only have to hold the switch for a couple of seconds.
To reboot you hold the switch for longer.

Thanks! Do you happen to know exactly how long? Only so that I don't do a reboot by accident.

30-40 seconds, and even if you did it by accident, it wouldn't mess anything up.

I'm excited for you to get your Kindle tomorrow!

[Winter9]

haha okay, then it won't happen by accident.

I'm so exited!!!

[drenee]

Your excitement is wonderful.

Winter, go to the Kindle Boards Photo gallery http://www.kindleboards.com/index.php/board,10.0.html and find all sorts of screensavers to save and put on your kindle once you get it. There are MANY threads, and MANY pages of pictures in each thread. it will make the time pass more quickly if you are busy.

[happyblob]

I thought you've already got it. Just stay on the computer and hours will fly by. It's a freakin time machine.

[ValHallaGirl]

my first one was  in the mailbox , and my second was  hanging on my front fence  (it was raining). We get out stuff at our front door most of the time.

[HappyGuy]

Okay, I talked to them. I have to skip work tomorrow.

Winter9 - c'mon, We all KNOW that's just your excuse to be able to spend the day with your new Kindle!!
