Customs or postal service, someone sucks.
on: October 09, 2009, 11:08:45 AM
Just to let you know, because I'm really disappointed.
It happens often that something is stopped or taxed (i.e. 37€ for a 20$ from USA) at the customs, so I'm kind of used to that.

This time I'm double sorry, because I've never received two things I really looked forward:
the charter member package and the giveaway from WH867 -I was lucky enough to win it, but not to don't let it be stolen-

I don't know where the fault is, and this is even more upsetting.

Ok, bored you enough. I just hope the things I didn't get are stabbed in some thief's guts.

 :( 

Actually that's worth a  :cry:

Whilst fortunately I've been OK posting to sadauker, in general I was losing around a third, maybe a bit more of packages going into Italy  :ahhh  I still post to Italy but not without sending it registered. 

Saying that, it looks like our postal workers have just voted to take nationwide industrial action  :-\
I'm not taking any more mod orders at present, sorry.

I agree.

I waited for a package once for 2 months and it did come in all chewed up with a "We are sorry we messed up your delivery" note from the Posties.

I just received a 100 year Spartan that I waited for over 2 months in the mail.


There is always hope.

Does Italy have a high percentage of thieves working in the postal system? I ask because I see a lot of vendors wont ship to Italy  :think:

What little hope there is of your package showing up,hold on to that hope for a little longer  ;)

A thief would be enough.
sadly, some time ago some scandals come out about
postmen that burned mail instead of delivering, 'because there wa too much"
Christmas time, when packets are open, inspected and sent on, just a bit lighter
"Mr, this is the postal service calling. your friend has sent you some wine bottles. they are now broken. do you want the remains delivered?" if the answer was yes, they had only to break a few bottles, if it was no, they could drink them.
and so on

I had a keyboard for a Palm open, and, given it was unuseful for them, delivered.
I also have evidences that a memory card reader has been USED before final delivering.

sadly, no one can say WHERE that happens.

Sheesh, I hadn't realised it was that bad. :-\  Here's hoping your stuff might turn up yet.

I will put another Charter Member package in the mail for you ASAP.... as I am certain everyone knows by now, I have a few lying here already that need to go out!

Leave the dents as they are- let your belongings show their scars as proudly as you do yours.

Thank you, but...
I didn't write to have items resent, understand me.

I gave the CMP for lost long time ago. I mentioned it  because at the time I looked forward to receive its logo ;)

Not your fault, not you to resend it.

I appreciate it, anyway :), thank you :)
