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

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???"

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 :-)

Out for Delivery

WAUKESHA, WI 53186

• On Time
• Expected Delivery Day: Wednesday, March 11, 2015

Dumbfounded. I am just dumbfounded. The package was sent Priority Mail 2-Day. Left March 5, 2015. Going (hopefully) to be delivered today, March 11th. 6 days later for a 2-day package and they declare it "On Time". <facepalm> Again.

So, it looks like the one from California might just arrive. So far its the only one of the three to show any movement toward Wisconsin. So, anyone betting on the 3rd package, California package, you win. Apparently. We will see if the truck can find its way here today. Its entirely possible with the way things are going, the truck and its driver just might decide to take it to Kansas or something.


Still, nothing has been or is showing signs of being delivered from GlobalFSD. Nothing. One deliverd to someone else. One stuck in Chicago since arriving from England 5 days ago.

It's weird. I've sent alot of stuff to the states, and recieved afair bit from them. never had any problems. Most things take 4-7 days. With one package at christmas taking 2 weeks and arriving christmas eve.
Also send stuff to canada regularly, again never had any issues.
Well there was the one parcel that got forgotten in a corner of my sisters local post office for a few months - but they owned up to that one.

But I use standard post, not a courier firm. Oh yeah and I always lie on the customs form. No matter what i send I put: 'confectionery and childs toy' on the not unreasonable grounds that it covers everything you can eat or play with :-)
Well you don't want to bother the customs people with unnecessary details do you ? ;-)

I have even managed to send greenery to california !
Yep fresh bayleaves picked from my tree and vacumn packed. And completely illegal :-) was quite proud of that one lol

God forbid we should cloud the issue with facts Good grief, admitting to smuggling bay leaves in an open forum. What were you thinking.

I too have received many shipments from overseas from Lasers to Disney Pins. Most have resulted in quick delivery, usually couple days and I would think the average has been around 3. Never more than a week let alone two. Just sucks to be me right now.

But, hey, I felt much better after running a couple boxes of ammo at the range. Brought the 10yr old granddaughter along and had some nice quality time with her. Helped me to unwind and simply accept that the situation isn't going to be resolved in a way where I win and get my filaments. I am left with ordering full spools one at a time I guess.

[curious aardvark]

lol it's a fair cop gov.

Fingers crossed for you - there's some fun filament in that lot.

Package arrived. A bit mangled but intact. So I guess this confirms that 6 days is considered ON TIME for USPS.





So, got a new toy. Got some white ABS. And got some PVA. Now I gotta get the flexi extruder on the dual head converted to a standard head so I can print sumptin

[chris@radeuslabs]

California package wins!! Now if only I can do that at the track!!

6 days on a 2 day package, I think they might of got a hold of aardvarks fresh bay leaves

I went looking a little yesterday for anyone that did sample lots in the USA, but didn't have much luck (I'm sure you've done so as well). If I run across anything, I will let you know.
