Tales of the Courier – The doppelganger delivery
The road is cool to the touch. The darkening evening has cooled the day quickly. 1courier is enjoying the freedom of the road. Indeed, he is doing very well driving hands free, so to speak.
The traffic is crisp and moving along briskly as he joins the other drivers along the highway. It was going to be a busy evening on the roads. He checks the time. He was still ahead of schedule. Very good. He coaxes a little more speed from the ride.
They had been experiencing large rushes every evening for a week. Also, the volume of deliveries was taking its toll. In more ways than one. Furthermore, two couriers had already been benched with mechanical failure. However, 1courier was determined not to be the third.
Tales of the Courier
He checks the traffic beside the vehicle as he takes the exit. It wouldn’t be much longer. Fortunately, the unexpected boom of deliveries, had been nearby deliveries. With this in mind, he expects to return to dispatch quickly. Now he turns from the highway. and drives toward the drop-off location.
Within minutes he arrives at the drop-off location. Additionally, there are special instructions with this delivery. For example, the side door is the preferred door for contact. As he arrives he can tell, it is well lit. Courier’s delight.
After securing the ride, he grabs the cargo. Then carefully walks it up to the gate. Which is locked. With a padlock. 1courier tries the gate to be sure. In fact, it is definitely locked. He glances over the delivery details. Nothing appears out of the ordinary.
Indeed, the only anomaly was the side door request. Furthermore, it was locked behind a gate. 1courier decides to try the front door. What if the drop-off location had forgotten the lock?
The front door area is unlit and shrouded in darkness. It looks like it has sat unused for years. Furthermore, there is no doorbell. This looks less and less like the right location. It seems off somehow. Yet every detail had been carefully observed. Also every direction of navigation had been closely tracked.
The Doppelganger Delivery
What gives?
He walks back to the ride. Where he double checks everything again. Subsequently, everything is spot on. Clearly he must be in the right place. Also the address numbers match the dispatch. Additionally the street name matches dispatch. The special instructions also match the dispatch. So, what gives?
1courier is stumped. Moreover it feels a little like the twilight zone. He is where he is supposed to be. Yet maybe he isn’t. Now he feels the beginnings of a disconnect. Only one thing to do. Text or call the drop-off location.
Within minutes he is on his way. Also, if he hurries, he will have only lost ten minutes. Furthermore he is grateful the drop-off location answered so quickly. Indeed, he was at the correct address with the right street numbers and name. The side porch is fairly common. But the same address in two different zip codes, is not. Courier surprise.
