Last week, after the third time my son asked if a package had arrived for him, being the astute mother I am, I inquired as to what exactly he was expecting. A few hem and haws later, he spilled the beans that he had taken defense driving from an online company after receiving a speeding ticket. And to complete the process, he had to have proof of taking the course and a current certified copy of his Motor Vehicle Record to bring to court with him to make sure his exorbitant car insurance fees stayed exorbitant and not uber (borrowed that word from Dennie thankyouverymuch) exorbitant.
Well, to make a long story short, he waited a tad too long and needed to have them overnight it to him as they advertised they could for a nominal fee of $50.00. He was given a tracking number and believed all was well. So upon discovering, via checking the tracking number online and finding it had not even been shipped yet after three days, I did what any good mother does. I got my husband to call and find out where the heck it was.
And discovered it hadn’t even been shipped yet.
The lady of the online defensive driving course said that their normal process is that they DO overnight it – as soon as they receive it from the state.
Not what they advertised, I must say.
So, we got our insurance agent to download a copy of the MVR and this next week, my dh and son will visit the court and hopefully get them to accept that copy until the certified copy that was overnighted for $50.00 and took a week to arrive, in fact, does arrive.
Wish us luck. And beware of companies that provide overnight service.
