Global Delivery T-Shirt Mess
Today I received a T-Shirt from Sun.
There was a marketing campaign in spring 2008 promising free T-Shirts for everybody doing a certification in a given timeframe. Well I did two.
Then in early June I received two separate shipments with one T-Shirt each. I really thought I blogged about this, because I thought its quite interesting to see how slow sometimes global business is. I was just not used to something taking 2 months to travel from USA to Germany. But perhaps I decided that in the end there was not much special about it.
But today it has changed. I received a T-Shirt, as said before. But well, I did two certifications, so why a third T-Shirt? It gets even more interesting, because the date on this was even before the other two ones i received. It took 4 Months for it to arrive in my mailbox. There is a stamp from German customs on it, unfortunately without a date. My best guess is that it arrived at the same time at customs as the other two, but has fallen behind a desk or something
But even in that case, how come sun sent me 3 shirts instead of two.
Bonus Question: The label says: “Here a free retake exam voucher, be sure to use it before June!”. Do I need to do time travel to use it?
Perhaps I need to create a category for mystery parcels?
