angel kaykay, any title company will usually have a notary on staff as so many of their documents have to be notarized!

The recent passing of Rosa Parks just raised an interesting question in my mind.....did history ever record who the white man was that Ms Parks refused to give her seat up to on the bus? Just one of those curiosity questions that hit my brain once in a while.

Notaries can be found at real estate offices, escrow offices, law offices and there are lots of independent ones. We have a couple who live in our condo complex who can come over if necessary.

What should the psi on car tires be? My warning light is on in the car and the display shows I have two tires at 32, one at 31, and one at 29. I checked and can't tell which tire is low so wouldn't know which one to fill up. Could I wait til Darren gets off work to deal with it and go do my errands I need to get done today or hold off on the errands? I don't want to be driving around on it if I'm going to mess up the tire. I'm not worried about finding I have a completely flat tire, I can throw a spare on without any problem.

war, the psi for the tires is ON the tires. it's in all that writing on the sidewall. and at those PSI, you aren't going to screw anything up. never knew they had that for a warning light!

LOL, mine has warning lights and beeps for everything! My display panel not only shows the psi and flat tires, but low oil, how many miles before you need the oil changed again and tires rotated, how far you've gone on the current full tank of gas (in miles and hours,) how much further you have to go before you need to fill up, and a hundred other things.

I finally got ahold of someone who said the same thing...the tires really not that low, I can drive without causing any problems and it can wait til Darren gets home to check them out and see which one it is. I didn't know about the psi being on the tire though! That's pretty cool!

But you also want to go by what is written on the door and in the car manual. The tire pressure shown on the tire is the maximum inflatable safe tire pressure for those tires, which is not what is necessarily suitable for your particular vehicle (it may vary depending on the weight of the vehicle etc).

Here's my situation. Yesterday a box arrived from Amazon.com. That's not unusual here but when I opened it, I found a box full of stuff I hadn't ordered and someone else's packing slip. The box belongs to someone in New Jersey.

I tried the Amazon.com website but there is no category which allows me to make an inquiry regarding this order since it's not mine. I can't find a phone number anywhere for Amazon. I'm debating on just sending the package to the right person instead of trying to send it back to Amazon. I can't even get a return label from Amazon as it's not my order.

Anyone have any suggestions??

Tess, I found this at Amazon's website:

Returning Items You Didn't Order

If you received an extra item in a shipment, or items were delivered to you (or to your home) that you didn't order, please let us know. If you live in the U.S. we'll mail you a postage-paid return mailing label for their return.

At your earliest convenience, e-mail us and let us know:

* the item(s) you incorrectly received,
* your name,
* your mailing address,
* and the routing information from the address label on the outside of the package.

To find the routing information, look for a long string of letters and numbers separated by slashes that looks like this:

1/fbfe18717/-3-//ROC/3197/std-us/1604244/0707-12:38/0707-13:13

What we need is the combination of letters and numbers that appears immediately after the first slash (for example, in this case, it would be "fbfe18717").


This is the site for the email :-):-):-)

The problem is that you have to give them the order number (which I have) but it's not one of MY order numbers so I can't continue with the return procedure. The entire packing slip with all the order info belongs to someone else. Only the label on the outside of the package had my name on it and that label is in pieces because of course I thought the package was mine and I ripped the box open. <sigh>

I'm thinking maybe I should just write a note to the person on the packing slip, attach the two and just mail it directly to that person bypassing Amazon altogether. Then that person can contact Amazon if they want to because they will have their own account info. Does that sound reasonable or should I still try to figure something out with Amazon?

Tess, could you ask the local post office or mail carrier? They may have an idea of how to go to getting the package to it's owner.

BTW, thank you! You reminded me I got someone elses mail yesterday and I need to go put it out in the mailbox, again. Half my mail these days belongs to other neighbors, makes me wonder if I'm not getting some of mine!

Tess, chances are Amazon was filling an order for you at the same time, and the shipping labels on the outside got mixed up. Which means somewhere, someone is opening up a box with your packing slip inside, and stuff they didn't order.

If you just ship the stuff to the person whose name is on the inside, that would be a good deed. But can you count on whoever gets your package to do the same thing? If you just send the package in the direction it was meant to go, then Amazon thinks they sent the right stuff, and your order will never get filled, but you'll still get billed for it.

At the bottom of THIS page is a "need further assistance" line with a clickable button to e-mail the specific problem. It directs you to a form to fill out and send in. Maybe that would be your best bet. It has a space for order number, but its optional. And since the order number you have isn't yours, probably best not to include it in that field.

You also need to try and figure out if Amazon was shipping an order to you, that ended up somewhere else due to a swapped outside label. Do you get notifications on what orders are being shipped to you from Amazon? If so, you could track recently shipped orders to see which ones show were delivered on the day in question. Also, even though you said the shipping label on the box is in pieces, can you piece it together enough to get a tracking number? If you can get the tracking number, you can maybe track it on line, and sometimes the on-line info will have a reference number (which would be your real order number). At any rate, if you can piece together the tracking number, Amazon would have that in their records, and should be able to determine which package it was supposed to be attached to, so everyone can figure out which order you were supposed to be getting.

Man, did I make any sense? I think I just confused myself!

YOU MIGHT, SINCE YOU HAVE THE NAME AND LOCAL, DO A INTERNET SEARCH , FIND A TELEPHONE NUMBER CALL THEM SEE IF THEY WANT TO ALSO JSUT MAIL IT DIRECTLY TO YOU EACH OTHERS, INSTEAD OF MAILING BACK AND WAITING AND GET FRUSTRATED TRYING TO GET YOU RIGHT PACKAGE.
TRUE IT WILL COST YOU TWO MORE TO RE MAIL IT TO EACH OTHER, BUT WOULD GET IT DONE ALOT FASTER.. opps , caps was locked sorry

Tess: You can request Amazon to call you. At the help site, you leave the phone number you can be reached at and customer service will call you within a few minutes. I used this service a couple months ago. It was a breeze.

Hope everything works out for you.

Who, that was exactly what I was searching in vain for last night. Thank you. You made perfect sense. I had the order number but since it wasn't my order I couldn't use the form that Jan found. Trust me. I tried several times last night. I just couldn't find that elusive email address that would let me type what I needed to tell them. Thank you so much!

Thanks Kaykay and Jan, too. My email has been sent and I'm sure that Amazon will send me a mailing label so the poor person in New Jersey can get their Leapster games. I just hope they didn't pay for expedited shipping!

War, go deliver that mail!

Oh, and I did check on all my orders. I've received everything that they say has been shipped. None of my 4 pending orders have been shipped yet so I think I'm ok on that front. <whew!>

I thought of that too Tater. But I'd balk just cause I'm such an introvert on the phone, and I know there are some people out there who just wouldn't appreciate a call (even under good intentions) from someone who "stalked" them on the Net to get personal info like phone numbers and such. For me, that would be a last resort to getting the package to its proper owner. LOL.

There's still the issue of whether you were due a package, and where it is. Its not guaranteed the label was just swapped with the person whose package you got. Could be a few shipping labels got mixed up.

Looks like Calamity might have found a good approach too!

ETA: Oops! Posting at the same time! Hope it works out ok! Also good to hear you aren't missing any orders!

Taterhead and Calamity, you both posted while I was posting. Hmmm I didn't know I could give them my phone number. Think I'll go back and see about leaving my number. I have to take my daughter to choir practice in half an hour so I guess I'd better hurry! Thanks!

ok, I admit it. I'm officially an idiot. I cannot find a place to ask them to call me but I sure did fill out the part where it asked me if their help page was "helpful". How about "not at all!" I included my email address in my email so they can email me back. Poor New Jersey customer.
