Does anyone know if Ivan Grubišić is still performing weddings? I'm thinking he probably isn't, but hey, it doesn't hurt to ask 🙂

Alright, thanks. I'll go check it out 🙂

Hey there!
Is anyone from the San Francisco area recently shopping for rings? I'm looking for some good deals and lower prices if anyone can point me in the right direction.

Thanks!

I’ve had both good and bad experiences with this... it really just comes down to the individual and whether they actually show up to pick up the package. There's no real rule for it. My only advice would be that if someone is dead set on that specific shipping method, have them send you the postage cost upfront via Venmo or Zelle. That way, at least you aren't out of pocket if they decide not to collect it.

I think something’s definitely off here... You should probably just call them up and ask where the shipment is stuck. Since you have the tracking number, just give it to them; they’re required to give you an update. I’ve called a few times myself—they usually just ask for my phone number, check their system, and then call me right back to tell me exactly where the package is.

Yeah, that’s why I thought it was weird when you asked me what to do 😁

Look, just take those papers down there and make some noise. First, they need to track that shipment to figure out where things went sideways—like, did they even send it? Is it sitting at your local USPS branch, or is it stuck at a sorting facility in Cleveland? Go straight to the department manager.

They lost something of mine once and I absolutely lost it. I called them, I was yelling, I was practically screaming... I'm lucky I didn't start swearing at them. Eventually, I just went down there in person and wouldn't leave them alone until they found it. It took two months, but they finally got it back to me.

I sent two shipments out to Cleveland last Thursday. One arrived just fine, but the other is nowhere to be found!!! 😠 I am absolutely livid.
The incompetence is unreal. How does this even happen?!

I’m 100% sure someone swiped it. 🙄 Is there any way I can threaten them with a lawsuit or something similar?! 😠

Do you have the tracking confirmation?

Here’s how it looks:



You're listed as the sender—Mate Smith—and the recipient is whoever you're sending it to, like John Smith. In the top right corner, just circle PACKAGE, then write in the value $23 (postage $14.40) or $33 (postage $5.00)

That's it.

Angela Flores76 said:Well, did you even ask how to send it? 😕

I honestly don't get WHY people don't just ask before they hit send. Then everyone comes along later complaining about how much the USPS screwed them over. 🙄

Exactly!! Seriously, why let yourselves get ripped off for no reason... it's not like people can't speak up. 🤷

Michael Sanchez7-- just a bit of advice: if you aren't already doing this in real life, you really ought to learn the difference between "you" and "your."
It doesn't look like you're just a typo maker since you make the exact same mistake in every single post.

Responding to Michael Sanchez7's post—I won't paste the whole thing here:

The USPS definitely holds a monopoly because companies like FedEx, as the name suggests, focus strictly on express delivery. I called them up, they came right to my front door, picked up the package I paid 30-$$13 for, and it was at its destination by the next day. That’s not your typical postal service, nor do they offer standard mail services. I don't know if you've ever received a postcard or a utility bill through FedEx, but I certainly haven't, so there's really nothing more to debate there. As long as nobody shows up as a direct competitor to the USPS, they're going to keep acting like they're in the Wild West; they honestly couldn't care less whether you're happy with their service or not. You just don't have any other choice.

Alright, thanks 🙂

I don't have a scanner on hand, and these prints are way too big for a standard home scanner anyway. I'll try heading over to a local print shop instead.

Does anybody know?

So, I'm trying to figure out where this is located and how the process actually works. I have some lab results and scans that I need to send over via email, so I'm wondering what the best way to handle that is. If anyone knows the drill, I'd really appreciate the help.
Thanks

Double post, my bad 😉

If you want to pay via Cash on Delivery, you'll probably need some help from the clerk at the counter. It gets confusing because on the paperwork, the roles are reversed: since you're the one sending the package, you're technically the recipient of the funds, while the person getting the box is the sender. When you label the actual box, just write it normally—you're the sender, they're the receiver. But on those official forms, it's flipped because the person receiving the package is actually sending money back to you, which the mail carrier is supposed to bring straight to your door. I say "supposed to" because I sent a package this way a month ago and still haven't seen a dime. Now I have to head down there and deal with the idiots at the post office; honestly, I've had it up to here with them. One time they even sent my package right back to me without leaving a single notice. They constantly mess things up—it's just typical monopoly behavior. 😠
Also, one more thing: when you ship it, make sure to specify that the recipient covers the shipping costs, even though you'll end up paying that upfront when you drop it off. Once the package arrives, the recipient pays the value of the item (whatever you put on that form) plus the shipping fee, and then the carrier should bring that entire amount back to your house.
I hope that makes sense, since I'm a bit frustrated about this whole thing. 😁 Read it over twice. 😁

Yeah.

I mean, I'm not sure. It really depends on how much you think he'll actually bring to the table, so maybe just head over to the forum and let them clear things up for you. 🤷

Has anyone else dealt with this???

Yeah, it's definitely possible. 😁

I checked rates for a package under a pound—it was around $15 or so. 😁
