Just wait a little longer... then head down to the local Post Office mid-week with your confirmation receipt and ask them to file a formal search request.
Just head over to the post office and tell them you want to send it as a ransom! They'll hand you one of those yellow forms to fill out, $8.25 though you’ll have to cover shipping—at least that’s what I ended up paying, even though the package was only worth $67. My mom calls it "Black Express" whenever she sends heavy 10lb boxes through FedEx for home pickup...
urbancobra12 said:Hey girls, quick question—I've been waiting on my package for over a week now. On average, how long does it usually take to arrive?
I can't recall exactly how long mine took, but if it doesn't show up in a couple of days, you might want to just walk over to the local Post Office and check if they have anything sitting there for you...
I mentioned this in a few posts earlier—two of my recommended items just vanished into thin air (one was even wrapped like a package), and then a third one showed up a couple of days later... honestly, people are stealing like there's no tomorrow!
If I'm using one of those yellow bubble mailers... can I just send it via regular mail? Or is that specific type of envelope strictly for certified mail?
vividgull3 said:I honestly have no clue what you're getting at either. You keep jumping from 480 to 180—what exactly are we talking about here? Why on earth would I pay $160? You can't exactly do cash on delivery from overseas, so please, enlighten me.😕
Just find and read the original post where the issue was first mentioned... it's really that simple.
I never bother putting spaghetti in a bag; I just send it as a standard parcel... the only time the clerk at the UPS Store gives me a weird look is when I ask for packing paper for a box that's smaller than a Chipotle container... honestly, why does she care what I'm shipping?
Well, it finally happened to me too. I sent out three packages on March 24th; two of them vanished into thin air, while one actually arrived within a few days... Supposedly they made it to Florida, but who knows where they went from there... I filed claims and now I'm just playing the waiting game. They’re supposed to contact me by Friday if they track anything down... something like that. Anyway, I'm just waiting for a call from USPS... ...Sigh... By the way, I haven't paid any of those $5.00 you guys are talking about; I'm just going through the $1.75 claim process...🤔
James Sanders22 said:Look, ladies, if there isn't a legitimate concern involved, then what is the point of even taking a test? Why does this thread even exist if those of you who recognize the symptoms won't step up and offer some insight? It shouldn't be this difficult. For some people, $10 is more than enough. I don't envy anyone going through this uncertainty, though I am certainly not indifferent myself. However, I have no intention of rushing to a CVS just because I feel slightly nauseous. Nausea can stem from countless different issues. I refuse to buy a pregnancy test every single time my stomach turns. Please, try to be helpful when we ask questions; remember how unsettling it felt for you when you were facing that same uncertainty.
Every woman knows her own body, not everyone else's!!
Chris Grant7 said:Does anyone know if headaches and a fever can actually pop up alongside those usual pregnancy symptoms? Is that even normal??? Also, I spotted a Clearblue test at the drugstore—has anyone here actually used one before?
You’ve already had people flooding two different threads with the same advice—just go buy a test!
I decided to take a test after being two weeks late, though I honestly "felt" something was up before I even bought one... I'll never forget that night when the mere smell of cigarette smoke made my stomach turn; and believe me, I usually smoke like a chimney. 😛 btw. go ahead and take a test 👍
Just so you know—he’s not going to poke your eyes out... so there's no need to be terrified 😉 ...I've been seeing an ophthalmologist for twelve years now for my astigmatism and myopia, so it's really nothing to worry about
vividcobra94 said:I don't get why everyone is being so embarrassed about this; just go see a gynecologist. Doctors are just people like anyone else, regardless of gender. You're doing this for yourself, not for anyone else. 👍 Just go for it, ladies.
In the US, you’ve got your private specialists and then you have those doctors at the local community clinics 😂... the first time I went to one of the clinic doctors to set up my file so she could eventually "manage" my pregnancy (and I can already see exactly how "managed" it will be...), I was never going back. Now I see a private doctor instead, and honestly, it's such a relief! He talks a little too loudly sometimes, but I really don't mind. 😂
I view visiting my gynecologist much like I view an appointment with my dentist or primary care physician... there is absolutely nothing embarrassing about it, and frankly, it’s just part of maintaining one's health. Just as an ophthalmologist examines my eyes or my GP prescribes antibiotics for an infection, a gynecologist simply manages whatever issues might arise "down there"... to me, it's perfectly normal to see a specialist for that kind of care.

And people like "that" truly have no clue... if they actually knew anything, they wouldn't be asking such ridiculous questions... sorry, I just couldn't help myself...
All I can tell you is that my friend’s mom suffers from agoraphobia—she’s terrified of open spaces where there are crowds of people. And honestly, regarding what you asked, I don't want to pretend I have all the answers or make things up when I really don't know... I know I wasn't much help 😢
