I swear if this clown was on our porch messing with wife's Amazon packages....

She would smoke him on the spot. My golf boxes ? Oh well.... she says. ☺

I get mine delivered to my moms house.  She is retired and likes having something to do.  Then she knows I will stop by for lunch soon.

If it’s FedEx I don’t even bother, their updates are suggestions or guesses. Might as well just text me the 🤷🏻‍♂️ emoji.

FedEx it is. Yesterday it said my irons had arrived in Sacramento; today it said they had once again arrived in Sacramento. I guess they just drove them around in the parking lot for a while.

I see you guys aren't original WRX'ers who have their deliveries sent to the work office. Lots to learn. 

That’s what I do!

I work from home and my home office is on the second floor so I can see when FedEX/UPS pulls up. When they do I run down and open the garage door so I can receive them and have the driver avoid the Ring camera.

With my wife being a CPA, she's gonna notice any big, non-cash purchases, and that's fine by me.  I'm not irresponsible and she agrees that some golf spending beats an expensive mid-life crisis car purchase etc......

I don't even look at the shipping notifications anymore. I have a bride who tells me as soon as it's delivered. Something like, "you have a f@#$%^g golf box on the porch".

 

This is why I get mine delivered to my office! lol

I'll be having that conversation later today, for the second time this week.

Mine is more like, "You have another golf club...."

I hope I'm not the only one that has a wife that doesn't care what I buy.   She enjoys seeing me enjoying my hobbies!  Golf isn't even close to cycling.   Even fishing is right up there.  Can't tell if that long box being delivered is a new golf club or a new fishing rod.  But you  can certainly tell when a new bicycle is delivered!!

Cameras usually alert me when it's arrived. Prior to that 100% checking ever 30 min!lol!

I was awaiting a box yesterday, new shaft for a utility 4i and hoping it arrived before I had to head out for my 2:30 tee time. Of course it didn't, so I guess I have to go back to the course this afternoon to drop it off to get built, c'est la vie.

 

"Hey babe, I was thinking of buying new irons or a Porsche, what do you think?" My wife is 100% supportive of me tinkering and spending, golf keeps me sane.

I'd be worried asking that one.  I'm pretty sure she'd want me to get the Porsche......   so she can drive it all the time.

...is trying to sneak that big box past your wife!

 

My wife works at home. Even worse, her office faces the circular driveway in the front of the house. She knows I'm getting a package even before our Golden Retriever does! There's no 'sneaking'; only confessing to crimes already known!

I mean, is that really so terrible an outcome, think of the leverage you'd have to buy golf stuff, plus you'd get to drive a Porsche once or twice!

it could be a win/win except the initial outlay to buy the Porsche is serious $$.  But it'd really be fun to have one.   Got to think about this one.  😁

Every year, I look forward to tinkering with my set up.  But for this year, I just haven't found anything to mess with.  Must be exciting to try something new for OP.

Count me as another person who gets packages delivered to work. It's part secrecy, part security. I don't have things shipped too often, but we still have a fair amount of package theft, so I have a some piece of mind getting it sent to work. The added bonus of not having to answer the other questions from family is just icing on the cake.

Hoping this will be the final upgrade to my bag after having what I referred to as a soft upgrade a few months ago.

 

"Hoping" being the key word here. 😅

Mine really doesn't give a rats behind, either. She like to travel. I hate traveling. She likes live music. I hate live music. I love golfing. She hates golf. Other than that we're a perfect match, though.😂 We don't give each other grief for how we decide to spend on our hobbies. 

[CinqueValvole]

yeah, the wife don't care about clubs, but when car parts for the Porsche start showing up...

 

What the #3%@ did you buy? cause then parts of the car will be all over the garage for a couple days while it is being worked on after work.

[Whatnogarnish]

I’m somewhat lucky, wife knows and see clubs going in and out.. doesn’t care.. and fully aware of a $1,000 swag putter under our bed. But for whatever reason, I get a hard time whenever I play on the weekends. 

[CinqueValvole]

I try to get out on the first tee time and back before 10 in the summer just in time for brunch with her and what she wants to do for the rest of the day.

So you get new clubs delivered before 6am on those days? 

[jjw822]

exactly, I actually even google the time between the city that was shipped to my house. then check the status updates every 30 mins. and as soon as i wake up on the delivery day to see if it is out for delivery
