Well, I did say I wasn't going to post again. But. Well. the second package found its way out of the labrynth of Chicago where its been circling the drain for days.
Unfortunately, it only contained two filaments. EasyWood by FormFutura and BambooFill by ColorFabb. Two of 13 is better than none of 13. The other 11 filaments are MIA in Georgia. I posted a ticket with USPS over a week ago and have yet to hear squat from them. No surprise there though. I will be sending GlobalFSD by email to arrange payment for these two at least.

I guess I have to post...AGAIN.
This is what the package looked like. Clearly USPS doesn't understand "DO NOT BEND" also might infer "DO NOT BOW".
This just arrived. Not the best of conditions. Labels on the other side, so don't freak.
Which I am totally confused about now.
This is what Royal Mail says about the original tracking # I got from Tim here.
Date Time Status Track point 09/03/15 14:19 DELIVERED UNITED STATES OF AMERICA 02/03/15 22:28 RECEIVED AT OE KENNEDY NEW YORK KENNEDY NEW YORK 27/02/15 AM DESPATCHED TO KENNEDY NEW YORK UNITED STATES OF AMERICA 26/02/15 23:58 RECEIVED UNKNOWN BAG - MISSING DUN HEATHROW WORLDWIDE DC 26/02/15 20:05 DESPATCHABLE TO HEATHROW WORLDWIDE DC CHELMSFORD MAIL CENTRE 26/02/15 20:00 COLLECTED CHELMSFORD MAIL CENTRE 26/02/15 12:23 ACCEPTED AT POL 33 Shoebury Road SS1 3RP
And USPS:

When I looked closely at the label on this box...its a different tracking number.
So, Royal Mail says this:
Date Time Status Track point 14/03/15 07:20 UNDELIVERED ITEM WRONGLY DIRECTED UNITED STATES OF AMERICA 27/02/15 AM DESPATCHED TO O`HARE (CHICAGO) UNITED STATES OF AMERICA 27/02/15 00:00 RECEIVED UNKNOWN BAG - MISSING DUN HEATHROW WORLDWIDE DC 26/02/15 20:05 DESPATCHABLE TO HEATHROW WORLDWIDE DC CHELMSFORD MAIL CENTRE 26/02/15 19:59 COLLECTED CHELMSFORD MAIL CENTRE 26/02/15 12:21 ACCEPTED AT POL 33 Shoebury Road SS1 3RP
And USPS..... (hasn't updated the fact its been delivered)
Date & Time Status of Item Location March 15, 2015 , 9:50 am Arrived at Hub WAUKESHA, WI 53186 March 15, 2015 , 12:34 am Departed USPS Facility OAK CREEK, WI 53154 March 14, 2015 , 9:36 pm Arrived at USPS Facility OAK CREEK, WI 53154 March 14, 2015 , 7:20 am Arrived at USPS Facility MILWAUKEE, WI 53210 March 14, 2015 , 7:12 am Sorting Complete MILWAUKEE, WI 53210 March 13, 2015 , 4:53 pm Arrived at USPS Facility OAK CREEK, WI 53154 March 12, 2015 , 3:32 pm Arrived at USPS Facility CHICAGO, IL 60701 Origin Post is Preparing Shipment
So, WTH? Sent 2/26. Got to O'Hare on 2/27. Isn't seen again until 3/14 (this past Saturday) by Royal Mail but also isn't seen by USPS until 3/12 (past Thursday). So where was it between 2/27 and 3/12? Missing and off the grid for nearly two weeks?
Only thing I can figure is Tim sent me the wrong tracking number. But that doesn't explain why it took 17 days for a 5-10 day delivery. In the end, its here. ALL of it is here
Sent two emails to GFSD so I can arrange to return payment.

Rofl! Its like Christmas morning around here! One of the guys just walked back two boxes of filament from MakerGeeks (ordered on 3/13). God, I love their surprise pack. I get something nice I didn't have before every time so far.
Geez, what to print first
Guess I will use the MakerGeeks stuff for now (Ninja Flex sampler as well as some FormFutura spools and assorted ABS spools) until I make payment arrangements with GFSD. That stuff really isn't mine until I pay for it and we settle up.

Rofl on the toilet paper tube spool. Anyway, I will probably cut somethig out on the laser cutter. Faster and easier than printing.
Its just how I play. Its how I was raised. I don't take whats not mine. If I give my word, I had better have a damn good explanation why I didn't keep it because the reliability of my word is more valuable to me than any physical thing. If I tell my granddaugters I will do something with or for them, they can pretty much etch that in stone. That kind of trust is earned and re-earnd with every promise kept and lost entirely with every promise broken. Nobody remembers the promises you kept, only the ones you broke.
I insist on that from others even if sometimes it makes me into the bad guy. If you say you will do something, then do it or give me a damn good reason why not. The shipping said 5-10, not 10-20 days. I only expect what I paid for and expect delivery when they said it would be. If it had said 10-20, I would not have been nearly as disgruntled. Or if they contacted me and told me the plane carrying the packaged crashed and burned, well, same result. Neither happened. The package wasn't delivered when quoted, nor do I know why.
The filaments are here. They refunded the money. As far as I am concerned, these are their boxes until they say otherwise. It simply would not be right to treat it any other way. If they wish me to return them, so be it.

I know what you mean. I'm planning on giving the 3 weird lengths of semi-flex away as globalfsd sent me a proper 10metrere length as well.
Damn good company :-)
