E-gift sent to Gmail address never arrived

Post Published:


Vudu e-gifts are nice, but not working for one of my email addresses.

My hubby e-gifted me something, put in my email address incorrectly, so of course it didn’t arrive. Then he re-sent it to the gmail address I wanted it to go to. Never arrived. Tried again and again and again and again. Two days of this. So then finally he went and changed it to the other email address, not a gmail one, correctly spelling it this time and voila, instantly arrived in my Inbox, practically speaking.

I have no idea what’s up with this. It’s irksome, and I have found no reason for it, nor anyone else with the problem.  I do have the e-gift though, but it would have been better all along if it had just come to gmail like it SHOULD have.

Why? My hubby and me get along great, but sometimes work pressure makes him snap at me and say mean or awful things, he’s on the road for work, and so here I am at home crying and miserable over it all (while he just feels better for snapping and forgets all about it.)

That was yesterday. The day before he was home and asked me to check my email because I had a gift waiting for me. I checked it, only had an email about a bill being paid. That’s not a gift. So  once it was determined that I didn’t get it, he tried to re-send it to gmail and called Vudu a couple of times, and nothing helped.

It was stressful since I couldn’t fix it. Easy fix was to just send it to a correct email address that wasn’t gmail. How was I to know that though. So it was a stressful day and hubby left early in the morning the next day and had to deal with the situation via the phone while driving and it was not fun on either end, his or mine, but I definitely was the miserable one, as always.

What does it take to make me cry? A lot. It’s not something I do much any given year.

Bottom line. I just don’t know.

    The Gmail email never did arrive. My hubby finally sent it to the correct email address of my non-gmail email, and the Vudu E-Gift arrived soon after.
