Horrible horrible business…this pitney bowes and global shipping. I have visited the ebay forums and found many threads on this and how much ppl hate it…how some sellers dont even have a clue what global shipping does. The seller does not see how much extra global shipping charges the buyer…. And ebay doesnt care, they say most ppl get their items just fine….and they also say sellers wouldnt ever bother shipping internationally if it wasnt for this program as its too much work for most ppl to bother otherwise…therefor ebay plans on keeping this stupid program.
The ones that get hurt are ppl such as ourselves that buy fragile and valuable collectables…and we are the minority… We get our money back, thats all that matters to the seller and eBay… They dont care about a piece of art being ruined… :/
I work at the postal plant here, Im in Canada, and I see first hand the kinda work global shipping does. Its pathetic!! I see whole shipments of packages from them come in, all in the same shape. All sliced open in weird spots, not along a seam, but right down the surface side of a package, messy and sloppy looking like they used a dull pair or scissors. Then re-taped with cheap packing tape, sometimes with the slice not even being fully covered. I even seen packs without the new label to the customer come in, having the original label to global shipping in the US, and then this pack would have to get sent way back there to be processed again….and all the packs/parcels are in rough looking shape. It took me awhile to figure out what this stuff was that was coming in, cause at first I thought it was mail that had been tampered with, or mail that was being sent out by a company that used recycled bubble envelopes and recycled boxes ….then after I started using ebay more frequently, I caught on…. And now they put big round global shipping stickers on all their stuff….
I refuse to buy from anyone who uses it. If I really want a item, I will, and have, asked them to ship without that, and sometimes they do quite happily. If not, oh well, wasnt meant to be then.
I bought a gargoyle candle lamp via a seller who used global shipping, he arrived with his head and upper body turned to dust… Never again… I complained to eBay, they dont care. I dont use ebay that often… Only occasionally now,
Im just so happy Windstone doesnt use the global shipping program!
Ps… I have had some ppl think that global shipping may be work done in a prison by inmates? I have no proof of this of course, just a thought, since who ever is doing the work totally doesnt care how bad a job is done on slicing the package or in repacking it. I just cant understand how a company can get away with such sloppy work! Doesnt anyone else ever complain on the packing job ?!?
I got my Fuzzy and a friend. 🙂 His name is Nocturnal Oak and he was found by Amstaff/Mindy. He is very fuzzy with large, luminous eyes and very adorable. His friend (a refrigerator magnet fuzzy) hitched a ride, mainly to insure that I got some of the chocolate that came with, but they became fast friends along the way.
They left me one chocolate bar, but reassured me that the other two were very, very delicious. I will keep them well supplied with goodies. They are off getting to know the rest of my fuzzies at the moment.
Thanks! I love them both. 🙂
Hopefully, mine makes it to her destination soon. She has/had a looong way to go.
Im so glad you like your new fuzzies! They look quite happy , but I cant believe they were so naughty and only left you one bar! Well I suppose they musta got hungry along the way, lol!
I do hope the bar ( or bars ) showed up in good condition and the trip hadnt crushed or broken them all up, and I also hope they didnt hit any warm regions during the trip causing them to melt! It does look like the fuzzies did a good job of protecting the cargo? I hope lol !
LOL ! Where did you first try these at Allison? They are like my fav. Chocolate bar…. Well no actually I like the Mars bar even more….mmmm….and the Wonder Bar ( peanut buttery center…) Mmmmmmm! Then the Aero comes third, lol !
Id be happy to help you out Allison 🙂
Just drop me a pm 🙂
LindaS and Natashavonlemke, you guys both got gorgeous Fuzzys ! So much thought and detail, and BIG ! Wow, good job so far everyone ! 🙂
This was a great Quest, people put lots of thought into this and it was so nice to see everyone’e entry 🙂
Congrats ! That is so freaking awesome ! A secret keeper is by far the king grail piece of the Windstones ! Thats so awesome your getting one, AND getting to drive and pick him up, thats awesome also ! 🙂
Oh dear…. I do hope he has calmed down and becomes cooperative. I love all animals, and would never go out of my way to harm one. That being sad, I also hate the smell of cat pee and what-not, and used to have male cats spraying my front door in an old house I used to rent…. was not nice :/ And I did used to have a garden there, and cat poo in it… well… ugh… I didnt have that issue luckily.
There are deterrents, and I see you got some to give to him to use. How so very thoughtful of you !!! I hope he realizes what a nice gesture this is, and that your trying to help, and that he respects that ! Hopefully those items work, and if not, maybe try to google some more types?
Anywho, I was going to suggest, that maybe try putting a litter box in YOUR back yard? Maybe out near where you see them, or near where you feed them? Maybe they would start using this and leave his garden alone more. It may help ! I know litter isnt cheap, and maybe you wouldnt have to clean it often, since they likely have other places to go as well, but still, for their safety, and his sanity (LOL!) it may be worth a shot? Since they may not enter a covered litter box since they are feral, you may want to avoid the clumping type, since rain or dampness may clump it all up. Maybe like a little sand box in your back yard? Like one for little kids, but instead now for the cats? Maybe you could even use sand, instead of litter? Is there room in your back yard for such a thing ?
Just an idea ! Good luck !
So the last couple days it rained like cats and dogs here and even snowed a bit yesterday!
Oh dear I need some of that, send some my way, lol !
Ok, so I wanna whine…
ITS SOOOO FREAKING HOT AND MUGGY HERE !!!! Ewwwww !! Im sso sticky and uncomfortable, and no many how times you shower… your always sticky again in seconds. There is NO breeze, and the air is thick its feels hard to breath…….. ahhhhh !!!
The power flickered here 2 times, I guess there is some lightening going on outside the city… must be heat lightening, unless its raining some outside the city.
Its 24 degrees Celsius, but feels like 34… thats 93 Fahrenheit to those who dont use Celsius. So it may not sound too hot, but take into consideration the HUMIDITY …. its 93% Humidity… its suffocating. Everything is sticky and damp. Cold drinks sweat and drip all over the place, and chocolate cant be kept outside of the fridge.
Ughhh…. I really hate this time of year. My hair looks like a fuzzy sheep dog !! No matter how much hair spray and even when its back in ponytail… its still all frizzy all over the place. And no, I dont have Air Conditioning… just fans.. which do help some, but the humidity… ohhh man….
Whine whine whine…. Cant WAIT for FALL to get here !!!
