KShine Posted August 9, 2020 Share Posted August 9, 2020 Yes, the scan gun was set up on deliver mode (as opposed to pick up) - does seems scary when it first happens, but it works itself out through updated scans. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I accidentally input the wrong to/from addresses. You may want to double check it. No, printed the label on pirate ship. The to and from on the label are correct. Pirate ship just has you enter the "to" in. I have a pic of the label too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FuzzyB Posted August 9, 2020 Share Posted August 9, 2020 I've been trying to schedule a USPS pickup for tomorrow to pick up some Ebay sales, but the USPS website says that scheduled pickup service is currently unavailable. Is this a temporary glitch or part of the new USPS streamlining? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FuzzyB Posted August 9, 2020 Share Posted August 9, 2020 Technical difficulties per the banner on the main USPS page. Good to know. The banner wasn’t up earlier when I tried to schedule the pickup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stackables Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 (edited) Yep, not working for me either. Might have to actually drop a package off in person tomorrow. Looks like tracking is down as well. Edited August 10, 2020 by stackables Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our mail service is excellent where we live. Our local branch is a very small and we’ve known the workers for years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KShine Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 If you live in a home, just raise the mailbox flag - if the parcels are too big to fit in the mailbox, leave a note stating that outgoing mail for pickup is on the front porch, etc. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TANV Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 (edited) So, my wife and I moved across the country back east to upstate NY 10 days ago. The movers were supposed to bring our stuff here today but we got a message on Friday saying that they're being delayed until the 18th. Stupid COVID. Bah I say!

Pseudoty Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 If you have a Target Red Card credit card check your available balance. I only use mine when I need to place multiple orders most recently for the Tie pilot set and before that the Lego Movie Brickheadz as I just use the RC debit card. I usually get a letter saying that due to inactivity the account will be closed if not used in the next 60 days so I will order something online. Today I get an email from my credit monitoring service (nothing from target) that my total available credit has decreased so I log in and it is the Target card down to $500 which is almost useless especially for flipping $1K GCs.

I've read that credit card companies are reducing credit card limits due to COVID and the fear that people (in general, not you) won't be able to pay their bills. What are you supposed to do with a $500 limit?? So lame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So lame. side note re credit card limit...if your financing a house or refi; credit report depends HIGHLY on how much overall credit capacity an applicant has so even if you don't use it (totally counter-intuitive and symbolic of our consumerism culture)...having the capacity to borrow a lot raises credit scores...and lenders look for no more than 30% being used at any time...so take a quick look at how much your monthly debt typically is and it needs to be under 30% total possible (all CC limits) to be in the credit score 700s. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Twain Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 Say goodbye to college football in the fall. This is devastating, and I’m not speaking as a fan, but to the hundreds of communities and thousands of small businesses that rely on live sports. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had the same thing happen to me. Since I stopped using it as much the limit has gradually decreased to $1600 which is still pretty useless. To combat this I started paying off my card right away. Well, if you pay off your card too much Target will put a hold on the card for two weeks. Their CR said its a fraud concern. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shortbus311 Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 Just finished building 7781 Two Face's Escape and 7785 Arkham Asylum. The instructions quality for those sets are horrible with the printing so dark that it is nearly impossible to tell one black piece from another in the illustrations. Needless to say, I have a bunch of leftover black pieces and I have no idea where they go. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oneknightr Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 Not a complaint by me, but I sold something on eBay through the Global Shipping Program to Australia. Package was light (only 8oz) and cost me $4 to ship to Erlanger, KY. Buyer paid $35.52 to eBay for the GSP cost. I can't imagine how much a Lego set would cost to ship through GSP. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
