GlobalFSD Offers Cheap Samples of 5-meter Filament Strands to Try Out

[chris@radeuslabs]

my money is on the California shipment for the simple fact it says Departed USPS Facility....

snails are quicker than usps when it comes to updating their tracking information.

Well, for those playing along.... Monday update.

And, best of all the header on USPS reads....

• On Time
• Expected Delivery Day: Monday, March 9, 2015

On time, my lilly white aspirin bottle. 10 days would have been this past Saturday. And its not even in the right time zone let alone the right state so no freakin way its getting here today. Even at 70mph, its still 11 hours from me.

Best I can figure, GlobalFSD did their job. They sent the package quickly. So did the Royal Mail service. They got it to New York in what appears to be about 18hrs. USPS, well, no wonder they are going bankrupt.

At this point I am glad I went for the tracking. I can't imagine how livid I would be about now wondering where my package is.

Clearly this was simply not meant to be. I give up. This has taken far longer and way more effort than I am willing to expend. Guess I will just write this off as lesson learned. Don't buy overseas.

I think I need to go to the range tonight and get some quality time with the Barrett and some steel.

lol yeah you need to be pretty precise with your addresses. I've noticed whenever I get addresses in the states to send to they're pretty lean.
Ask your neigbours if they got your parcel. Assuming you're on speaking terms with your neighbours :-)

GlobalFSD replied with my PROPER mailing address in no less than TWO emails and at least one PM here. They got my correct address and they understood it. Its the same address I have used for a decade in my paypal account and its a CONFIRMED address. USPS did NOT apparently receive my address correctly or they simply chose to make shit up and send the package to Woodstock Georgie instead of Milwaukee Wisconsin. I don't know who's fault that is but at this point I just don't care anymore because I have simply given up any hopes of actually receiving anything I ordered. I am just going to chalk it up to an $80 lesson learned. Write it off. Move on.

Myself and ALL of my neighbors are in WISCONSIN. And, yea, I am on pretty good terms with our neighbors in WISCONSIN as well as the ones in FLORIDA where my other home is. I don't know anyone in GEORGIA where the package went.

Perhaps this will make it a little clearer.... The two stars are about 800 miles apart (1287hm for you metric folks)...


Thats MORE than if someone mailed you a package and it ending up in Kirkwall, Scotland but you live in Plymouth, UK. So, its not even a near miss.

[chris@radeuslabs]

I don't see how anyone could confuse WI with GA......even with a smudged label. Sorry that this went from "wo-hooo samples" to "son of a.....what the hell???"

[curious aardvark]

Ah you see, if you yanks learned to spell whole words instead of using initials for everything - this kind of thing probably wouldn't happen.
Well I say 'probably' as all national postal services are renowned for their innate ability to deliver to the wrong address.

Probably an annual sweepstake for the postie who delivers the package furthest from the actual address :-)
