Damn You Delta!

Well, Delta screwed me again. It's more Customs fault than Delta's but I am blaming Delta because I couldn't get in touch with anyone.

At noon when my bag hadn't been delivered yet, I called Delta Baggage Services to find out what had happened. According to the recorded message, they were closed. They work East Coast hours (7am to 12am) even though they are located in the same city that I am physically in. I tried Mumbai Airport's Baggage office but the number they gave me goes to a fax machine. There is absolutely nothing more frustrating than that!

Except maybe this:

I just called them and it seems Delta cannot deliver my bag because its being held by Customs. I need to pick it up myself. Here's the rub... since its Sunday, the Customs office closes at 6:30pm, meaning that at 5:30pm local (7am East coast), I found out that I have one hour to go get my bag which is a 3 hour drive away. Had I known, I would have gone and got my equipment today. Now I have to wait until tomorrow morning to get my bag. Again, damn you Delta!
