October 26, 201510 yr I'm a little disgusted knowing that a good percentage of EBay members who sell loose LEGO must live in an environment that smells like cigarette smoke mixed in with Brut/Old Spice.
October 26, 201510 yr Found a used band aid in a lot of Lego I bought recently. Seriously.Come on people!!!
October 27, 201510 yr Bought a used set on eBay, and wondered why the seller doesn't upload a tracking number. Now I see in the details that the Economy Shipping he selected is really USPS Media Mail. For 6lb of Lego. Really? I just hope the PO isn't going to inspect that package, or I have to deal with a postage due case. Estimated delivery in about a week. We shall see. Any experience with cases like this?

I just hope the PO isn't going to inspect that package, or I have to deal with a postage due case. Estimated delivery in about a week. We shall see. Any experience with cases like this?Bought 3lb lot on ebay and the seller shipped it first class with a weight of 5oz. Got a postage due notice. Seller refunded me cost of extra postage. It was an "honest mistake". Ok sure.
October 27, 201510 yr Found a used band aid in a lot of Lego I bought recently. Seriously.I've had it worse. I've found Mega Bloks in mine. The horror!

October 27, 201510 yr Going to throw the recycling out and being greeted by a rather large Possum staring you down and hissing. Crappy way to start the day.
October 27, 201510 yr I've had it worse. I've found Mega Bloks in mine. The horror!My twelve-year-old asked me why I called Mega Bloks "crap" when we saw a commercial on TV last night. #thehorror
October 27, 201510 yr Since we're on the topic of megablocksWhile sorting through a 15 lb lot, my 4 yr old and I came across some mega-block minifigures (megafigures?). Having never seen one before my son was intrigued by them. After a 15 minute study, he concluded that the megafigures were superior to the lego minifigures. Now I fear I may have to follow up this post with another complaint a month from now....when he asks for a mega block set for christmas.

October 28, 201510 yr This seems as good a thread as any to post this. I came across this article and though it might be good to share especially with holiday shopping coming up. I used to live in the country on a dead-end road and never really worried about packages being stolen, but now I live in the city and I feel like I need a giant locking mailbox. https://gma.yahoo.com/consumers-warned-phone-app-cited-porch-package-thefts-160459368--abc-news-topstories.html

Instead of OnTrac, UPS, or Fedex delivering your package, it's some guy in his car or on his bike with an app.
October 28, 201510 yr You can always change the TIP to $0 or other amount. I didn't tip my guy, it was actually an ontrac guy that delivered my prime now package. 50 minutes ago, minicoopers11 said: 11 hours ago, gravtation said: WHAT'S up with TIP ? .. since when and why ? ...

Now they all gonna expect a tip to do their job.

Most likely a tip is what they are counting on to help pay the bills. Ever think of that? Anyone who has ever worked a tip job should understand. I work a tip job and my employer pays about 25% of my income while my tips account for 75%.

I work a tip job and my employer pays about 25% of my income while my tips account for 75%. That's my point exactly, people are expecting to receive tips to do their own job. We already paid for our service so why should we pay again just because the worker was showing up and doing his job? Don't like being not tipped? Don't work on that job, find another job. It's their job to do their job, so don't expect a tip. Look at all the countries all over the world, most of them don't tip and they provide EXCELLENT service. You get paid for your hard work and effort while people here provide crappy customer service and still expect you to tip them 15-20%.

October 28, 201510 yr It's one thing if you are a waiter and you are getting $3/hr or whatever but I am pretty sure there is no delivery diver legally making under minimum wage.

Gents - tips in the form of $ for doing a great job are not daily deals. Tips in this thread should be in the form of sales! Or feel free to take it to the complaint thread, perfect place for this discussion! Edited October 28, 201510 yr by gregpj wow, that was a bad sentence
