sqidd Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 With a healthy fear of offending those of you that are currently celebrating Columbus Day by getting in you car….heading off for work…..and getting lost and ending up at a different job…..and staying and working there ….I'm PO’d its Columbus Day. I took today off (I take most Mondays off because I work most weekends) and I had it devoted to working on a Macross timeline/ available DVD chart and then I was expecting to have my Postal Truck show up about 11am and there is supposed to be at least 5 mechs in there for me. I was going to unbox them, set them up, make swooshing noises, re-arrange all of my shelves, etc. Now I won’t be getting those Mechs until Tuesday and I will be working. I know collectively you all feel very sorry for me. Rant over Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dante74 Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 I do feel sorry for ya sqidd. I have the same problem almost every time I order a toy. Example: On a wednesday, the tracking site shows that the package is due for delivery the next day. The next day, I'm at work and when I get home there's a little form from the delivery guy that he'll be back the next day (friday), which of course I am at work again. Friday night I get home from work and find another one of those stupid messages that he was at my door again and that I can pick it up the next monday. That's five day's after the initial delivery attempt damnit! I don't blame them for me not being home, it's just frustrating to know that that beautiful mech toy is just a few miles away but I can't get to it. :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big F Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 Hey Squid I kinda feel sorry for you, But bear in mind that we in the U.K have suffered a postal workers strike since Thursday afternoon last week that will still be on till Wednesday this week, then they have to get rid off the national back log of mail etc. So all my plan to do stuff have been skuppered too.

Sumdumgai Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 I hate when the postman doesn't bother to deliver and just leaves the "failed to deliver" notice when someone is home. Or worse yet, when he leaves it in front of my door without knocking. I live in an apartment complex for crying out loud. I've been lucky enough to not have someone walk off with my package yet. YET.

jenius Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 I'm waiting on an articulated arm to mount my TV. I was hoping I'd have it last week but it still hasn't shipped. I was hoping it'd at least ship today... but NO... stupid bankers holidays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sqidd Posted October 9, 2007 Author Share Posted October 9, 2007 not me...someone walked off with my Masterpiece Voltron. Doh! The worst part is they probably had no idea what it was an tossed it somewhere. How may theives would hev opened it up and gone "Oh sweet!, a Masterpiece Voltron"? That sucks man, it hasn't happened to me yet but I bet it will. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dante74 hit it right on the head. At least my post office has a quick pickup window for when they stop trying to deliver, but those little pink failure to deliver notices are a PitA. HOW about getting home from running errands on your day off(Friday) only to find the mail came early(2pm as opposed to 4-5pm) and now you have to drive(hassle) to post office to pick up before it closes (hassle) OR get up early Sat morn to pick up(hassle) knowing you are gonna be hung over/tired from Friday night antics?(BIGGER HASSLE) Now your gonna be tempted to fit MacrossDay into this week or just wait til next day off?

big F Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 (edited) Well Great our postal strike is nearing an end and they have just anounced another one we will get two days of deliveries if we are lucky untill the start of the next strike. I wouldnt mind but I have cheques in the post comming to me for payments of jobs etc and also a few things that are needed like bills and my insurance documents without which I cant work. Well over a week with out post and now more time without it. Edited October 9, 2007 by big F Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misterryno Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 Sqidd, I would LOVE to say that I feel sorry for you....But really I don't, unless you feel sorry for me. 3 packages were to arrive on mon. and I had to wait till today. And I still do not have them because my work sucks so bad that I am not even working in the office this week I am out in the field. So I will have to pick them up come tomorrow. =ME Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyp Durron Posted October 14, 2007 Share Posted October 14, 2007 Sorry bro, I can't feel sorry for anyone who has money for Valks when I don't, lol. But for what it's worth, I've been there a time or two myself. -Kyp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eugimon Posted October 14, 2007 Share Posted October 14, 2007 this is why I would have my toys shipped to the office. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big F Posted October 14, 2007 Share Posted October 14, 2007 Well postal strike is over till monday and I have recived mail that was posted on Friday but none of the mail that was posted before and durring the strike. The postal workers thought they`d shift the back log doing overtime after the strike but the National Post Office said no overtime. The news said there were several million packages and letters that needed to be sorted. So the mail may be back to normal by April if they dont strike too much more.
