Update: MyWetStuff Issues |
|
I was planning to be a proactive little blogger and test MyWetStuff's service, which launched yesterday, during a trip I'm taking this weekend. Basically, MyWetStuff is a new service that ships liquid and gel toiletries to hotels so travelers can still carry-on despite the ban. You can read more about the premise in this previous post. I wasn't planning to carry-on - I'm much too high maintenance to survive a weekend without my usual legion of toiletries - but I thought I'd check the service out and report back on it so other travelers would know what to expect.
I visited the site today, diligently picked several items for my shopping cart and went to the trouble to enter my hotel's address, telephone number and my reservation confirmation number. Then the site asked me to specify my arrival date - which is Friday. Alas, the system informed me that I had to choose an arrival date at least three days away. So I changed the arrival date to Saturday. Got the same message. I moved the date to Sunday, even though I'm checking out that day (I was really curious how much the shipping was going to cost). Next, I get a message that says the earliest available ship date is Sept. 29, 2006. What is that about?
At that point, I abandoned my quest for the shipping details. Looks like the business launched before it had the oomph to get off the ground in a meaningful way. After this experience, this blogger is not impressed with MyWetStuff. I like the concept, but I was hoping it would actually work.
