Give One Get None

Note: I believe this is a rare situation that probably involves the FedEx sub-contractor who does home delieveries in my home town (Tewksbury, MA.)

Please go ahead and order your own OLPC today! http://xogiving.org


My OLPC box arrived today (Friday, December 14th)... WITH NO PC IN IT!!!

I got the Give One, Get NONE! I wonder if mine is the first stolen? swell...

It was dropped off on the porch of my rural home with no signature. My wife came home after running a quick errand to find the box. The delivery man's foot prints were the only foot prints in the snow.

The top of the box looks perfectly fine.
The bottom of the box looked like this. Notice the strange white stickers...
The folds of the box were already ripped. Clearly someone ripped it open, stole the contents, then used the white stickers to let the box continue on it's way.
Not the unboxing experience that I was hoping for....
I called customer support, they didn't seem to have a plan for how to handle this... someone is supposed to call me back... I don't feel so good....
In a word. Disappointment. I have to suspect somebody inside FedEx. I wonder how long this is going to take to straiten out.. I hope it will be straightened out. Anybody else in this situation? email me, bob <at> jadn.com
