Look, if I were you, I’d just give them a call or head down there in person right now and lay it all out for them, but honestly, you better do it ASAP.

your local mailman's always on duty🤣

Laura Morgan78 said:Does anyone know what the recommended shipping limit is for a package containing jewelry here in the US?

If it's under 50 grams, you're looking at about $9.50, but honestly, it really just depends on how much it weighs. If you're sending something actually valuable, I'd definitely suggest using insured mail or something similar—it costs a bit more upfront, but it's way cheaper than losing a piece of jewelry in the mail. You can check out all the different service rates on the USPS website.

I was thinking about sending it via certified mail, but I'm wondering if I can just shove that backpack into one of those big padded bubble mailers if it actually fits? It weighs less than 5 pounds, so weight isn't the issue—it's more about whether something rigid like a backpack will actually work in an envelope, unlike, you know, just tossing in some T-shirts or jeans.

Honestly, whatever you can jam in there and get closed, just send it.🙂

Mark Newman22 said:I'll tell my brother to give them a call... lol... personally, I've been sitting here staring at my inbox waiting for the moderator to show up for like 9 days straight now.

Man, honestly, they probably haven't even sent it out yet.☕

Maybe tomorrow😁

It probably should have happened by now... but I think the turnaround for certified mail is supposed to be about five business days. Are you even sure they actually sent them out yet?

Has it shown up yet?

I mean, if they actually managed to ship it out on Saturday, then it seriously better show up today.🙂

If they actually got it shipped out on Friday, you're probably looking at Monday.😁

you should probably just get in touch with the USPS...

Forget the local post office, you definitely want to go with FedEx instead...

Linda Chavez14 said:The reason I'm asking is because I heard that if it gets sent back (like if it was COD and nobody picked it up), you actually have to cover the shipping costs, so now you've got me all confused.🤷

Yeah, that's how it works. You end up paying the shipping fee and the whole thing just comes back as a certified mail item...

I mean, I guess that's just how it is🙂

lying😉

Linda Lee25 said:Hey there, I was wondering—if you send out a package with COD (cash on delivery), and then the person just refuses to pick it up and it gets sent all the way back to the sender, does the sender still have to pay the shipping fee?

Yeah, they do. It’ll be something like $9.50, though it really depends on how heavy the thing is, since it’s being processed as a return shipment via FedEx.

Nothing much, honestly. Maybe if you just give him a little bit of a hard time, he might actually get spooked and...

That’s honestly the worst part about it... I do a ton of online shopping myself and I'm constantly using the "buy now, pay later" option...

Honestly, there’s a decent chance that person didn't even bother sending the package in the first place.😉

Look, I’m a polite guy, seriously, I try to be super nice🙂but it just gets under my skin when people start acting like we're nothing but a bunch of thieves...
