It is funny,I had a COD order from Eddie Bauer which I ordered Online -XMas presents for brother in law, and got an automated call from Fedex. It asked is this ****, say yes or no. I said yes. It asked if I had the COD ready, I said yes again, and then then the automated voice said that it is on it's way!
It was weird......and it was not a person, but a machine generated thing.
