Wow, it's even worse than I thought. It really is getting here on Saturday. WTF.
I ordered a custom made Buster Sword and waited almost a year for it. Then they said it was out of stock and refunded me, raised the price and put it back up for sale
Did you yell at them?"What about us...... what are WE supposed to do? What about my pain? My fingers are tingling. My mouth is dry. My eyes are burning!"
Shipments seem SUPER fucked right now.
The aforementioned package never got here on Saturday, isn't out for delivery today (so far), and the package I was expecting Sunday ALSO missed its delivery date and now they claim it'll be here tomorrow. And, again, the former package is IN MY STATE (that said, looking at the tracking, it might have gotten mixed up somewhere because it went to one distribution center, got moved to a different one, then somehow went back to the original distribution center).
I've also got two things coming on Wednesday from Amazon, a screen protector from Zagg (at some point, delivery estimate unknown at this time) and a pair of Nendoroids tomorrow but who knows if they'll be able to pull that off.

I'm now waiting for a new headphone amp that's going to take like a week to get here. =/Hope it gets to you fine.
Goddammit.
Lets talk about the package waiting scams. Random emails/texts that tell you a package is waiting at the distribution center when you know you havent ordered anything.Fortunately, Ive never had that happen to me when I was actually waiting for a package. Id like to think Id have enough presence of mind to realize, but you never know.
Oh apparently it is out for delivery, the site I was using didnt update.I can see how it could get a lot of online shoppers. I just dont do much of it so its easy for me to be like Nice try.

Also, a book just came in stock that was on my waiting list, so yeah. You know, a lot of these books are limited run, years-old. If they were digitized in any way, I wouldn't be buying them. It's surprising how many things never show up online, officially or otherwise.I ordered a Numerical Analysis textbook from the 60's on the 'Zon last year. Pretty wild stuff.
This specific one seems to be from 2017, but I think the earliest one I've gotten within the scope of this topic is from 2013 or 2014.

My headphone amp got here early apparentlyYou tried it yet? Also, getting packages early feels so nice.
Charging it now. Can't wait to try it, works with both electric and bass!
A part of me is still amazed that I can order, say, an aquarium thermometer for 5 from China, and get it in a week.
Been there. Stuff I order on amazon/aliexpress arrives in ~24 hours, but a thing I order from a US-based company about 10 hours away from me takes a week to ship. Nothing makes sense.
Today I ordered:I might need to replace my wallet pretty soon as well, havent had it nearly as long as youve had yours though
A new wallet
Mickey 7
The Wild, the Innocent and the E Street Shuffle
Green Arrow: Moving Targets
Those first three are supposed to arrive on Saturday. GA on June 5-6, lol.
I've had a card fall out of my wallet twice in the last week, so I figured it's time to replace it. I've had it forever. Like seriously probably more than 20 years.
I ordered one last Intel MacBook to go down with the ship.I had no idea they were ending support for those, I dont have one myself, but Id think it would be something Id hear in passing.
I may have shot myself in the foot, though, since the compatibility of macOS 16 is not yet known.
I ordered the WRONG one.
I had to start a return and order the RIGHT one...ergh.
The MacBook was supposed to have been delivered yesterday but now it's looking like it won't be here until tomorrow. That means it'll be here the same day as the Switch 2 (hopefully).Hopefully it all works out fine. Cant help but get nervous when something should be there and isnt.
The returned one also won't get where it's going until tomorrow.
Today I ordered:Everything arrived from this order. The disc had a crack in the jewel case, which normally wouldn't bother me too much since I still have like a billion spares but at this point it's a matter of principle (our post office breaks everything and I want Amazon to know it) so I requested a return. Weird thing is, they don't want me to actually return it. They're just sending a new one. So I ended up with an extra. I imagine the disc is fine, so I gave it to Mrs. Devsman to keep in the car. She always gets rid of the cases anyway. I think most people do, or else haven't bought a CD in like a decade plus anyway, lol. But the collector in me likes having the case.

GODDAAAAAAMMMIT!!!! The seller didn't know what they sold me. This is a 5 5 00M MacBook Pro, not a 5600M!!!Oh brother, sounds like a real nuisance. Was it like eBay or something?

I've been trying to figure out why they don't want it back. I specified the problem was the product was damaged but the packaging was ok, so I wonder if they assume it was broken when they shipped it. It was in one of those padded envelopes, though, so it would have been easy for the carrier to use it as a frisbee or whatever they do without any visible damage to the package.
Anyway, I guess it's cool that I ended up with two.
Yeah, it's eBay. Seller agreed to a refund and I bought the right MacBook.
It actually sort of worked out given the price difference between this MacBook and the first two I bought. My dad "helped" me pay for the first one (read: I used his card to buy it) then I returned it and got the money back as a gift card and I paid for the second one entirely on my own. Now I've returned that one and bought a third one and the gift card plus the refund I'm getting for the second order is more than the value of the third.
The replacement is cracked too! >:/
Now that makes me wonder if its a manufacturing issue, or if they were really that careless twice in a row.Well, one hint is I think this was actually shipped by someone else, since it wasn't in the mailbox.
Well, one hint is I think this was actually shipped by someone else, since it wasn't in the mailbox.Ah, fair enough. Might be a bad habit of mine to try and give benefit of the doubt where I can. Did you end up trying to get a replacement again, or are you just settling?
USPS always goes out of their way to stuff everything in the mailbox. I've had to flatten out paperbacks that they just decided to roll up a number of times, lol.
Nintendo hasn't shipped my second dock, despite ordering it day one.What do you need a second dock for? Also I hope that you dont have any more trouble with the MacBook stuff >_>
That MacBook will be here tomorrow. I was supposed to be out of town starting today but luckily I got that pushed back so now I'll be here to receive it
Ah, fair enough. Might be a bad habit of mine to try and give benefit of the doubt where I can. Did you end up trying to get a replacement again, or are you just settling?I think I'm gonna just use one the replacements and give up the fight, lol.
One for each place I live.
I think I'm gonna just use one the replacements and give up the fight, lol.I suppose if it works, seems aggravating though.
