Guess this is just how Secret Lab does business now?

Took a few days off work to finally set up my new home office, with the Secret Lab desk as the centerpiece. Cleared the room, planned everything around it, ready to put it all together.

Except the order came split across a handful of different carriers, all shipping on their own schedule, none of them coordinated. One box showed up early, the rest are scattered across tracking pages that either haven't moved in days or are frozen on "label created." A chunk of them are with USPS specifically, and those are just sitting in limbo with zero movement.

And of course, with the holiday, Monday is the earliest I'll see any of it — if I'm lucky.

Did some digging and apparently this is just... expected? People have been dealing with this exact same multi-carrier chaos for a while now. So I guess this is the standard experience and I was just naive enough to think a few days off would actually line up with my order showing up.

Meanwhile my home office is half a room with random furniture pushed to the walls and an empty spot for a desk.

Well, lesson learned. Next time it's Amazon or Ikea.

Anyway, that's it. Just wanted to vent.
