Just an update, Vroom pimped me because they can't figure out how to send a FedEx to a home (mine) that doesn't get mail delivered to because of a Catch-22. If you no one has ever gotten US Mail delivered to their house, that address doesn't show up in the official USPS Mail Address list which many things like FedEx check. MOST folks just override that and send the FedEx, UPS and DHL shipments to my address after they verify with me that it's correct, but there are some Internet Companies like Groupon and now Vroom, that "it does not compute."
No worries for me, went to Plan B which is Carvana. They actually offered me $300 more than Vroom, but by virtue of some phone conversations, informed me that I'd have to drive the car to somewhere around Portland, 1/2 between my house and their Danvers, MA place since I was out of their 150 mi service radius. Based on that I opted to eat the $300 figuring it was almost a wash, having to schlep down to Portland with the Admiral at the helm of her barge.
Well, turns out Plan B should have been Plan A. Went to the Carvana website and said "Drop Off My Car", but was perplexed when it told me to drive the car up to Waterville. I hit the "Back" button on the browser and clicked on "Pick Up My Car". Much to my delight and amazement, I was allowed to pick up a pickup appointment that was immediately confirmed via texts and emails. Sheesh, wish I had done this first and not spent hours on the phone with Vroom idiots in AZ swearing they had sent me 3 FedEx document packages that never appeared.
Let's see how the pickup goes next week...
