I'm more baffled at how their tracking algorithm thinks it'll take 7 days to get 70 miles down the road

cause it's not first come first serve. if it's scheduled to be delivered by the 7th they're in no rush to get it out earlier

Free shipping means that they will deliver it when they can fit it in to their schedule.

I'd be much more satisfied if my package was traveling around the country collecting stickers like a piece of luggage, instead it's merely sitting on a shelf just outside of my reach :(

Lol.
I want to say I lived in Woodbridge at some point but I don't recall. It has been ages & it wasn't a particularly fun time in VA.
I do recall the middle school I was at. Good ol' Graham Park.

took some time to remember. i had super saver shipping that had went through the system pretty quick before the actual date it was supposed to arrive. they had it on the truck and left it on the truck on the day i was home and waiting for the package the whole time.

day later it arrives and i find that the package has been tampered with i ordered a lego dimensions advenure time level pack and the finn figure didn't work (which was pretty much needed for the DLC) had to wait till the next month to order another one.

the shipping carrier was fedex.

I feel your pain. A few years ago a package of mine was in a town 90 minutes away, and it wouldn't arrive for another 4 days.

Okay. Here's my most recent tale of woe.

Back in August, Michael Gaydos (comic artist perhaps best known for co-creating Jessica Jones) put out a notice on his Twitter that he was having a sale on his original artwork. 99% of the time, stuff like that is out of my price range, but I went and looked anyway, to torment myself.

Sure enough, most of what I saw was unobtainable, but I did find some artwork he'd done for a pen-and-paper RPG that really appealed to me, AND that I could afford. Bought it.

STILL have not gotten it. And it's not like he's filling these orders himself, he sells his stuff through a company called Cadence Comic Art. After a month I email and ask about it, guy replies within like a day and tells me he'll look into it. Another month goes by (now we're in October), still nothing, no further communication, so I email again. This time, radio silence. Not "oops we lost it, here's a refund", not "go fuck yourself", nothing. I'm a tad irritated now, and I'm strongly considering DMing one of the few comics pros I know (who would be a link between me and Gaydos) to ask him if he can get in touch with Gaydos and see if he has any idea what's going on. -_-

one time i mistyped my address on a thing i ordered and the tracking said it was delivered, then a day or so later it said that it got sent back to the facility

they couldnt reship it for whatever reason so they had to refund me and it took like literally a whole fucking month for me to get my money back

See if you can hold it at the facility and make the trip. Make a pit stop through Front Royal and grab some Spelunkers, the greatest burger joint in the world, and take 522...or hop back on 66 via 522.


Spelunkers is good. My buddy's got an annual pass to national parks so we've been hitting up Shenandoah and Skyline Drive a lot
