That isn't true exactly. The big guy and the girl covered in flower tattoos are nice. The mustached man who leaves the mailbox open in the rain though >:( >:(
All I got today were coupons for Dunkin Donuts. The coupons weren't even for donuts. What's up with that?
Where are my German Cathedrals? Where are my Splendor Tiles? Where are my extra Mage & Witch tiles. Tell me postman ...WHERE?!?!
-
Just exactly how many days have you been waited? Sometimes there's up to 2 weeks before things arrive. And then it's the Easter Holiday that may add even more days.
And, if you live in the smack middle of the Amazon, I'm pretty sure even the Swedish 3-days tops for any letter to any continent rule won't apply. :)
"If you wait for it, it will come." (bending a known quote)

The cundco stuff takes 10 days to make it here. The stuff I ordered from Kansas and Oregon should have been here last week.
This thread is mainly in jest. I am sure others will occasionally like to gripe about their missing, late, or damaged parcels.
-
Delivery anxiety is common :)
Even worse when the items are coming by a tracked mechanism and you can see it making its way across the world in what seem like very slow steps.

What indeed! Presumably they were for something else sold at Dunkin Donuts? Crazy days.
My postman is OK most of the time, apart from when he steps over the little fence separating us from next door and then walks across the front lawn, rather than going back down their drive and up ours. But I try not to hold that against him.
-
There's already enough hate in this world - I'm just grateful I have a postman :(y)

This is less a "I hate the postman..." and more a "I hate when people screw up billing and shipping addresses...". Apparently Spielbox, when sending me my copy of SPIEL DOCH! decided that my billing address in Arizona would be a better place to send the magazine than to my shipping address in New Zealand. I got an angry email from my mother-in-law yesterday asking why I received some German magazine in the mail (she's a bit...discriminatory) to which I replied with confusion and then realisation. Thinking I had made the mistake, I checked my PayPal and Spielbox confirmation emails only to see that both said that the package was to go to New Zealand and it even noted that the package was "Dispatched to NZ". Apparently "NZ" is a new acronym in Germany for "US". A frustrated email has been sent and I really hope they reship another copy to my actual current address. I want the tiles now, not in two years when I get back to the US. Ugh...
-
I just ordered a bunch of stuff from Spielbox. If they ship it to your mother-in-law, I'll never see it. Southwesterners hate us East Coast folks almost as much as they hate ... Germans? ???
-
Perhaps if you put your mother in laws address on the order they'll send it to you in NZ? Seems logical to me.

lol. Or she's get two more copies and I'll get an import fee for both, raised a bit since I couldn't possibly pay so little for such a trendy magazine (see Kickstarter thread – Colosseum comments for context). That seems to make sense.

The order I placed with Cundco on March 21 finally arrived, and all the items I ordered were there, except the German Cathedrals! I'm so crushed, I can't even look at everything else I ordered. >:( Sorry, just had to vent a little to those that would understand.

Hi mowboa,
please send an email to CundCo and tell them which part of your order was not in your package.
-
I emailed them 3 days ago, no response yet.
-
It's been a week and still no response. I have emailed them every other day. Does anyone have another way to contact them?
-
They only email me when they want to reach me..
-
Still No Tunnels in my mailbox... The order has been sent last friday so it's starting to smell fishy.. Hope it didn't get lost in the mail or whatever. :-\

Mine shipped on 11th... so I'm still relaxed (adjusted for having "exciting" items in the post)

They made it to the US yesterday, so they should have made it to Belgium by now. Mine shipped on the 7th. Good luck!
-
Mine shipped on the 7th too and hasn't arrived. But Switzerland is rubbish with postage sometimes.

For some reason it takes very long this time. Last time i was extremely surprised by how quick it came. But seeing all our posts we are all in the same boat now
-
Mine shipped on 7th too. Still waiting. I'm still waiting to see if get CC1 from CundCo too. I'm sure everything (maybe not CC1) will arrive eventually and it will be glorious. :green-meeple:
-
My copy of the Tunnels arrived ... in Australia.
They sent it to the billing address and not the shipping address. On the bright side, at least they didn't send it to whaleyland's mother-in-law. She wouldn't have been happy.

If you can convince someone nearby to loan you a tunnel token, you can get them instantly from Australia ;D

HA! She'd probably just refuse it unless it were under my name. I'd still probably get some flak either way. The funny thing is that when I buy LEGO, she gets all angry, but when she buys LEGO for me, she calls me right away to see what sets I don't have. May wonders never cease.

They might end up in Japan instead...
-
A tunnel to Australia you say: "Quaid, Start the Reactor!!!"
-
My copies of the tunnels arrived the other day. Or at least I was expecting them to... turns out I ordered the wrong issue.
Not exactly the postman's fault, but there isn't a I Hate Myself thread.
(PS, if anyone's willing to sell/swap a copy, let me know!)
-
A merit for your honesty! Which issue did you order?

You can start one! :P

I mailed to Spielbox yesterday and they told me it actually takes longer shipping to Belgium than it does to the United States. So they said I had to be patient until the end of the week. A glimpse of hope emerges! Let's hope it pays off!

Lol they said Exacly the same to me xd

Well geographically that makes no sense. I do pay more for shipping, so I guess I get something for my money.
The only logical reason I can think of is that the truck leaves Germany and hits all of the Trappist and Lambic breweries on the way. That tends to slow things down. At least that is what would happen if I was tasked with delivering your package.
-
It may say more about the performance of the Belgian postal service of course...
-
Or they travel by car instead of airplanes.. (which is still weird..)
-
SRBO, anything yet at your place?
-
I Don't know yet, will tell you in 2 hours :).. i expect it will never arrive..

Ah, but would that be a 'I Hate Myself' thread, or 'I Hate ooh_jim'? ;)

The plague issue, so I now have a couple spare.
-
:( I already have 4 or 5 copies of the Plague. I was very close to making the same mistake when ordering Tunnels too. Surely someone will have an extra copy just for you.
If not Rosco has a copy of Ebay at the moment that's isn't too expensive - perhaps he will cancel the ebay for a buy it now price :/
-
I was lucky enough to catch a copy on the boardgamegeek market for around €10 a year or so back, so I really can't complain - just wanted an extra copy to make some alt coloured chips & extra tiles for scaling.
-
In the Netherlands the Spieldoch magazine with die Pest also hasn't arrived yet..... :'(
-
5 copies of the Tunnels appeared on EBay in the USA for $40 each. :(n) :(
I hate when resellers get what they want and the nice collectors on here get hosed.

Still nothing..
