I have to confess I'm proud as hell of that fact
[/b][/b]Oh my…this topic really took off. I feel the need to step in here and let some facts be known before the mob mentality tarnishes my reputation. First, I will say that it really sucks that Tuffteef hasn’t received an ILF Christmas gift. I wish that wasn’t the case. I sent his package on December 17th by USPS priority so that it would arrive in time for Christmas. I paid over $40 in shipping to do this. According to USPS delivery was attempted several times. It is even written on the package that on 12/27 the addressee on the package was not at that address. I confirmed with Tuffteef that the address I wrote on the package was really the correct one….he said it was. I gave the tracking number to both Futuresailor and Tuffteef. Tuff said he called and talked to post office there. I don’t know what happened. Well, it took 4 months for the package to be returned to me. Why…I have no idea. Once it was returned, I asked Tuff if I could send to a different address and use his real name instead of Tuffteef. He said that was the only address he had. So I reshipped the package to the same address using his real name. I hope he receives it. Throughout this whole ordeal I have been in contact with both Tuffteef and Futuresailor. I don’t understand what Tuff now thinks I should have done. He knows as much as I do about where/why the package delivery went wrong. So saying things like “it was sent apparently and returned ages ago and its been plenty of time to try again im tired of sending messages and waiting 2 - 3 weeks for a reply that goes nowhere” is unnecessarily inflammatory and really kinda BS in my view.
On a parallel note, I don’t think it was a bad decision to allow myself into the SS even though I have a lower post count than a lot of others. I feel I am good member of this community and respect everyone here. Obviously, I don’t post here religiously but when time allows I do check in fairly regularly. This situation is unfortunate. Now I have spent almost $70 is shipping charges and this doesn’t include the gifts themselves. I am at a loss as to what I did wrong. But I also don’t understand why my SS was from St Louis and why am I SS to someone living in AUSTRALIA. My suggestion for next year would be, at least for international mailing, let’s use peoples real names. Also if possible when pairing up SS try the best to keep the pair on the same continent. I am sure Australia is a nice place but I hope to never have to mail anything there again. Finally, I applaud Behndy for stepping up and trying to make the situation for Tuffteef better. I assume he is using the same address as I am, hopefully both packages arrive safely.
Long live ILF the best music-related community on the interwebs.
lol. i don't know the specifics, i just felt bad that a pimpy pimp like Teef Of NAILS was left out, and i have too much loot, so. yeah.
Amnie - if that's how it went down (not saying it's not or it is, i am an ignorrrrrant thing), sounds like you did what you could. and i've also had trouble with shipping before.
re: Same Country Shippin's - for me, i wouldn't mind getting a Non 'Murican for my person. it can be a hassle, but i think it's only like 1 in 10 times that i've shipped internationally that it was a problem. mebbe when the Random Gods Of Gimme Gimme show who's got who whoever has an out of country person should be asked if that's a big deal to them privately? dunno.
i get to see Bjork tonight. so that's kinda all that's running through my head. hard to docus on other stuff.
hey! mebbe Amnie's package is just held up and Tuff Enuff'll get DOUBLE LOOTS. that'd be AWESOME.
