Yesterday, I was cleaning out my files at work, and for some unknown reason, I opened the form I sent to GSO (the office managing my move) with information about where our shipments should go.
I filled out this form myself about 3 months ago.
It had two China addresses- one for our Household Effects (HHE), which is most of our stuff. And one for our Unaccompanied Air Baggage (UAB), the 700 pounds that's supposed to accompany us to Virginia.
Yes, a China address for the UAB. The UAB that I've been painstakingly organizing for months, so that the kids have their favorite toys and the rest of us have the items we need to live in Virginia for almost a whole year.
I was like, "HOLY XXXX!"
I called GSO right away and of course, the shipments guy has seen it all. It appears I was lucky because the shipment hasn't left the country yet and was only picked up a few days ago. So that crisis was averted and hopefully our stuff will make it to VA.
Everyone tells you to check your orders carefully. And I did. It had all the right things going to the right places. I made this mistake myself. And it makes me worry and wonder about what else is messed up.
