I had UPS Access Point turned on while I was travelling.

Anyway, when some packages from LEGO Shop at Home didn't arrive as expected, I researched it and found out my Access Point refused deliver and returned the packages.

WTF!

no notification or anything

 

So my Lions Castle and MY Monkey City set x2 are taking a roundtrip tour of the country.

 

I suspect the access point ran out of storage room because they had no problem accepting my smaller packages
