I ordered this thing last Thursday, and according to Walmart and FedEx, it would be delivered on Saturday.

Saturday arrived, and I stayed home and tracked it all day.  Still on schedule for delivery by end of the day.

But at 3:00pm, the status changed to ‘Pending delivery’ with no date given.

Arrgh.

By Sunday morning, the status had not changed, so I went in and requested the package be held at a FedEx office where I would pick it up later, since I wouldn’t be home if they tried to deliver it during the week.

I got an email confirming the hold, but on Monday morning, the package status was changed to ‘Out for Delivery’ by end of day on Tuesday, 2/5.  I figured that meant it was on it’s way to the FedEx office.

Wrong.

Around 4:00pm on Monday, I got an email notification that the package HAD BEEN DELIVERED AT HOME, LEFT AT FRONT DOOR.  So I left work immediately and found this at home.

The driver left it on the sidewalk in front of my house.  In a plastic bag.  Anyone could have come by and taken it.

Unboxed:

Came with a cup, food tamper (lightsaber!), cleaning brush, straining bag, and instruction book.

After doing the initial cleaning from the instruction book, I decided to make something from the book, and picked rice milk.

Took a short while, and it was warm when it was done, so I put it in a pitcher and into the fridge.

Next up I attempted to make a chocolate milkshake.

This was a failure because I used the ‘smoothie’ button, and ended up with chocolate milk.

I let the rice milk chill over night and tried it this morning.

Not bad.  I’ll try the oat milk and nut milk later on.

And soup.

And ice cream.

Oh, and I bagged up my lame Ninja food processor thing.  I’ll probably drop it off during a Goodwill run.
