Never underestimate the incompetence surrounding (what seems like the vast majority of) MD USPS employees. Convinced this state holds a firm place in Top 5 Worst in the country. Tracking all incoming/outgoing like a hawk has saved me from a good handful of potential horror stories... but a fellow collector friend here hasn't been nearly as fortunate.


It's getting harder to get a human on the customer service line, but once your Priority packages are 3/4 days past est delivery you can open a case. In my experience that case number seems to put a magical fire under USPS' collective ass and package usually arrives within 2/3 days (sometimes quicker) later.

Yeah, magically right at the 72 hour mark of not moving, the site updated. Same city and station, but an update saying it was delayed and is now on it's way to the destination city. Gotta love USPS.

Working from home today and watched the USPS come to my house, heard the mail box shut, and then saw him walk on by the living room window. I thought, "awesome, I should have two packages today according to tracking". Go to the box. 1 piece of junk mail, nothing else. Go back to USPS, check tracking, showing delivered as of 10 minutes prior. What the fuck. Walked outside, USPS carrier sitting in his truck, ask him where the packages are. He says he doesn't have them. I ask how he scanned them delivered 10 minutes ago. He doesn't know. Awesome. Just filed two claims with USPS.

USPS IS THE WORSE!

I was waiting on a package from Uamou and had it shipped to my work. Forgot about it and then realized Oh! I should have mail, checked tracking and it shows that they attempted to deliver it at 12:02 pm and notice was left. LIARFACES! Package is missing now. I am convinced that the mailman stole it. He was not my regular mailman and even after talking to my mailman he said the dude just scanned it like he tried to deliver but he didn't. Good news is that Uamou filed a claim also and said that if they do not receive the package back, they will make me two new pieces AND ship, no charge. That is what you call GREAT customer service.

FEDEX CLAIMS IS THE WORSE!

Shipped item and packed fairly well. Box got to the destination with a giant gaping hole on the side of the box and the figure inside was broken. This was a month ago and they just barely sent someone out to "inspect" the box today. Places that use 3rd party vendors for situations like this suck! I'm hoping they cut me my check already.

Oh, the joy of withering comments from thin-skinned peoples. Sitting on my tongue is one of my least favorite magic tricks.

I went through this exact scenario before. Check with your neighbors, luckily my nice neighbor brought them over to me as the clown left them at the wrong address.

I hope that ends up happening. Generally the issue I have is packages going out for delivery and then not showing up for another 3 days. Fingers crossed.

You have no idea how often I get my neighbor's mail. Sometimes even packages. Sometimes for neighbors three houses down.
Sorry USPS, if you're trying to force me to get to know my neighbors, it's not working. I don't like them. Too uppity.

eBay seller charged for Priority shipping and sent via Ground (cheapest possible). Almost 2 weeks later and still waiting on delivery. Toy was just scanned in here in Des Moines Thursday.

UNLEASH THE EYE OF THE QUAIL

^I wear something like that around my head at home, and nothing else. Does that make me strange?

Anywho, a big FucK YoU to the piece of shit ghetto trash that stole my truck out of my carport while my wife and I slept. Karma is a b1tch. I hope you end up face down in a ditch somewhere.

Keep in mind this is AFTER my work ATV was stolen from a supposedly "secure" storage facility behind lock and key.

I don't know why folks like big cities so much. Jamming millions of our garbage species together in one spot is an inherently bad idea, and I plan on getting the hell out as soon as possible.

My friend from work goes to the NYC Football Club home games dressed like that.

More in the teams colors though.

You may wanna consider new friends Ed

We work with live electricity in little holes in NYC streets. None of us are really right in the head.

Hahahaha. Strapping my belt to my head now....

Don't be afraid to use the neutrals and negative feedback!!! I've been leaving more and more negatives to sellers who don't disclose obvious paint rubs and issues...and neutrals for shitty shipping issues

This fuckwad listed this bwana hedoran as "perfect condition" when clearly from the pics it's not...I hate that bullshit

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Crawling-Hedora ... 7675.l2557

I definitely will. I sent the seller a message asking about the over charge for shipping. The individual replied and rattled off some non-sense about how bureaucratic eBay is and stated something to the effect that if so many people are upset by this then nobody will have the pleasure of buying his/her toys from now and how they will be taking their auctions down. Prior to me buying, seller had 100% feedback. Since buying it's now down to 94% and I have yet to leave my feedback.... and as an aside, Im STILL waiting for it to show up. USPS is trying to find out where it went. Silly seller, had it been priority like it said in the auction it would have been insured up to $100 and they could be reimbursed. Now if it's lost the seller will up shit's creek without a paddle as they say and I will still get my money back.

Fuck.

That is all.

^ PMed +1.

Is it because 6 of the 7 Canadian hockey teams have been officially eliminated from the Stanley Cup playoffs? Ottawa is the last hold out.

I hate this BS. I bought a Blobpus-painted Hormorah (used but at retail price) after being told it was perfect quality, and it had a big two inch black paint rub on it from another toy. Sneaky guy took a photo of the toy from the side so it wasn't shown. Later the guy was outed as a flipper, so I guess I'm not surprised. Still sucked...

The paint rubs on that Hedoran are so obvious too. On the eye? FFS how do you miss that?
Also for the love of all that is holy can people dust their toys before listing them...

Fuck you to weird buyer on eBay.

I sold some old video games on the site. One guy wins multiples and asks for combined shipping, which I gladly offer in my descriptions anyway. I send an invoice with the correct amount. No issues.

A day later he requests the invoice again so he can pay. I reply that I sent the invoice already but sent it again. He pays. No issues.

It gets delivered today and the positive feedback I get is "Shipped so fast, I overlook the fact that seller didn t respond to my questionS". Huh? Stupid. Otherwise it was a smooth transaction but an annoying aftertaste.

Anybody want any PS2 games??

Whats your RPG selection like?

I never got into buying games for older systems, but I can imagine how that might bring a very picky and perhaps somewhat difficult clientele.

I think we may have just received items from the same seller. I've never seen vinyl so furry! Did it turn your hand black too?

Yeah, I'm just moving old stuff on my part, but who knows?
The odd thing about him is that he's really new to ebay (joined 2015, only has 15 feedback score), but used serious language like "overlook" - like it was a transgression that I had done. I've been on ebay for 16.5 years. I know how to do my job.

But once you sleep on something (did I say that right?), it doesn't bother as much the next day.
