“Okay, it says it’ll be delivered by Monday. It wasn’t due here until Wednesday. So I guess it’ll be here by Tuesday night!”

I contemplated to myself after checking the tracking information for my packages, specifically ones that contain Christmas gifts for immediate family members. I have always made it a point to get my Christmas shopping done early and this year even more so, as I found myself needing to get more gifts than I usually do. Things would go smoothly: My packages would be here on Tuesday, I would get my gift wrapping tools between Wednesday and Thursday, and Friday would be a gift wrapping fiesta. Boom. All my Christmas shopping and wrapping would be done early!

Oh, but if only that were true.

What I didn’t take into account was that my packages were being delivered by the infamous LaserShip, leaving my family’s gifts in a sea of uncertainty.

A number of you may be asking: What’s Lasership? LaserShip has been able to partner with several major retail stores and services including Amazon, Zara, Blue Apron, and Ulta Beauty to name a few. If you’ve done your online shopping with any of these places and live on the East Coast or Midwest, chances are you’ve had a package or two delivered…
