So we manufacture furniture. We dispatched some jewellery showcases to a hotel in Jawai, Rajasthan. The shipment was sent in the name of the owner of the palace, instead of the management. The Owner had no idea about it, so he called the number on the envelope.
Him: "Hello, this is Shishir from Sujan Jawai Camp."
Me: "Hello, Shishir from Kernig Krafts."
(3 seconds awkward silence.)
Him: "Ya, this is Shishir... and you are from Kernig Krafts. I have a problem. I received a parcel from your company, but I didn't order anything."
Me: "Yes, sir. We have sent it to you; it was ordered by Mr. Dhawal for you."
Him: "Oooh accha accha, Dhawal kya... but I don't know who Dhawal is. And may I also know your name?"
Me: "Sir its for the jewellery display, you wanted to set up a display at your place. And Btw my name is Shishir."
(pause of 2-3 seconds.)
Him: "Shishir.. Now it all makes sense.. so I am also Shishir, and you are also Shishir. Jewellery unit yes I ordered some time back. Nice talking to you, Shishir; Nice name btw."
Moral of the story:
Always label your shipments correctly…
…and maybe lable your Shishirs too.
