    I blame the ridiculous shipping bullshit here. Somehow, Amazon can get me an entire armchair in 2 days, but ups hasn't gotten my package more than an hour away from my house in 4 days.This is why I didn't even do USPS. Next time, I go fedex.

    Um....I can't figure this out. I keep hitting Captcha on Panda....which is normal. I go to a hit to clear captcha, and no matter what Hits I choose I am not getting captcha. I've done at least 20-30 since I hit Captcha alert on Panda and it won't let me clear it, but I can accept unlimited other hits apparently.

    Any ideas? I'm assuming it's a bug with the new site.

    Dude. EVERY package I've ordered that UPS is handling in the last week has been delayed by at least a day or two. It's like they're new to this or something.

    Yes, they used to be 20 choices for $2. Then they dropped it to $1, then to 80 cents. Now 30 cents for 10.

    Have you tired accepting another hit via worker PC since then? Captcha counts seem to expire after a certain amount of time on worker. Put a hit you know is up in worker and see if it goes through :dunno:

    I tried my best to fix the wrapping too after the lady opened it in the store, thinking I was sending some illegal item or whatever.

    It probably didn't help that I reflexively snapped, "Wow! You have a lot of questions!" and laughed uncomfortably when she asked where I "bought," these items.

    Really? I had delays about two weeks, but this week packages are coming in fast and furious. Earlier than projected at times, certainly not late. Guess I got lucky.

    No, she was bugging. I've never had that many questions in life about something I'm shipping. They have a script and yours veered from it big time.

    This isn't the first time this has happened. I have a history of shipping seriously odd things, I swear I'm on a list that says, "Dis Grinch sends strange items and we think she might be a serial weird gift giver, make her day suck!"

    I once sent 5 pounds of christmas cookies that showed up half eaten.:emoji_rage:
