Why didn't they let you send it to the store? When my local store got the nano speedy I paid over the phone and they wouldn't let me leave it at the store, it had to be shipped. Something about not allowing paid purchases to remain in the store. Which I guess makes sense, they don't want to risk selling it to someone else. But wasn't home and it came days after I could've just picked it up.
I don't think LV is the criminal company, I think LV deliveries tempt UPS employees and maybe even buyers to run scams and be dishonest. Picking up at the store should be the most secure because it requires you to show ID.
But given the volume of online sales, they should do like Macy's and have a separate online pick-up space in the store. Then you can't risk someone buying it, because it's in a separate area. I mean if you can't pick it up from LV or UPS, what are your options? Call in sick on the delivery day? (I've actually done this before. lol).
