Apparently some uber drivers will do it but they are not licensed for it and are not supposed to do it.
In any even it would have been very expensive I think.

Ever heard of a courier?

Not OP. I've heard of couriers that carry things to other countries. How do I find one in DC, and would expensive would that be?

I just had a flashback to 1989, with the guys on bikes carrying things all over town! You missed a lot in the "olden" days, PP.

Well, sure my law firm had couriers. I would never think to hire one for myself, to deliver a bathing suit.

So the kids have school tomorrow? I have to ask...is it normal for people for people to drive 3.5+ hours for what will be <36 hours at the beach?! (If I'm following the timeline right, they left on Sat morning right?) That would not occur to me as something to do...but maybe I'm off base?!

Let's be honest. Nobody should be paying $50-$100 to rush a child's swimsuit to an irate person who cannot solve a simple setback. There is a time to throw money at a problem, and there is a time to buy another swimsuit on the way to the beach.

+1 if your entire vacation is derailed because of a missing swimsuit...that sounds like a you problem.

Yeah, I'd have no problem driving 3.5 hours for a short weekend at the beach. I'll go to NYC or even Charlotte for a weekend.

I think you're trolling, OP. Your original post made it sound like this was something that had happened another day, in which case, why leave out all the details of how it was settled and how crazy the other mom was?

And if it was the same day - you posted at almost 9PM, so by that point the dad was already texting you and you were already drinking and moving around patio furniture. Again, why leave those details out?

OMG, you must be Victor Hugo reincarnated. Give it a rest. You are WRONG that returning the suit at 10 pm was the only right thing to do. WRONG.

And decent person would have met the other Mom halfway. A 30 minute drive is not life-ending.

Not sure why it's up to the other Mom to solve the problem and not the OP.

I was on team OP but after the update the entire thing seems too far fetched to believe. At 35 pages in, I call troll.

Who are you to decide what's right and what's wrong? The audacity of you women is laughable. So tacky.

Uh, the subject line begins "Who is right?" so since we were asked, we will respond.

Numbskull.

Not a 30 minute drive. It would have been a 1-hour round trip late at night with two young children in the car. It's an unreasonable request.
