Oh you're right. I didn't read the whole thing but kind of expected a bit more after 7 months or so

Shame on this Ascaii guy, what kind of a person does he think he is, making everyone wait on his lazy ass?!

I guess the delay has been caused by that 7bit dude. He squeezed too much stuff inside the small bag.

Ascaii · 23 Sep 2013, 19:13

What is the current status?

7bit · 23 Sep 2013, 19:59

phetto is so over-overwhelmed by the contents, that he can't post anymore and must stare at the contents all day and all night. Someone should drive up to him and press the reset button ...

Acanthophis · 23 Sep 2013, 20:22

According to the tracking the parcel hasn't been picked up so far at the post office, it's sitting there since the 16th.
Though, I don't know if it just didn't update properly...

Mrinterface · 23 Sep 2013, 20:27

I wrote phetto an email....

Daniel Beardsmore · 24 Sep 2013, 00:17

Heh. I sent something to the Keyboard Company, and a couple of weeks later or more, when it was back on my desk at work, Royal Fail still listed the outgoing parcel as being in their system undergoing delivery. From their records, it was never delivered at all.

That was back in April. From the tracking number, "Item XB…74GB was posted … on 05/04/13 and is being progressed through our network for delivery."

Yep, they still have my parcel from April. Apparently. Lying toads. (It seems that there isn't a "woop woop" flagger for items that don't appear to be going anywhere. "Item XB…74GB was posted … on 05/04/13 and fell into the Vortex of the Black Hole. Play again?")

Acanthophis · 24 Sep 2013, 02:09

Well, I can assure you I really sent off the package

7bit · 24 Sep 2013, 22:55

Rumors say, phetto was in Amsterdam and he had no food for 4 days ...

Mrinterface · 30 Sep 2013, 21:53

Can't believe this..... Really.....

ne0phyte · 30 Sep 2013, 21:57

How hard can it be to pass on a small package

002 · 01 Oct 2013, 00:27

Strange that phetto would do something dodgy.
He still idles in IRC and he comes online on facebook often so I'm surprised to hear about this...

7bit · 01 Oct 2013, 15:35

He pm'ed me that he did not get it.

My guess: It is on the way back to Acanthophis ....

ne0phyte · 01 Oct 2013, 15:49

Why isn't he posting here?

Sweden
The shipment is ready for pick-up. The recipient has been informed.

Either DHL fucked up or he did.
Not getting a parcel from the post office after 14 days usually sends it back..

7bit · 01 Oct 2013, 19:53

@phetto:
Please get the package from the post office tomorrow, it might still be there!!!

All the cool stuff inside, you can't miss out of that!!!

phetto · 04 Oct 2013, 23:24

woot? you mean it is on its way back? I mean i didnt even get any notification that it was here

Muirium · 05 Oct 2013, 00:00

When it's my turn, I request that this is sent with added "actually knock the door" service.

7bit · 05 Oct 2013, 17:11

phetto wrote:woot? you mean it is on its way back? I mean i didnt even get any notification that it was here

Did you ask at the post office?

Acanthophis · 09 Oct 2013, 19:53

Well, guess what? The SupriseBag returned to me.
Remark: Unclaimed/Ej efterfrågad (whatever that means).
Return date: 1/10

How to proceed?

Me personally, I would'nt want to send it to phetto again.
Despite the possibility the post carrier didn't inform him, he still had the tracking ID + link from the beginning.
Carelessness of phetto lead to the return of the package.

7bit · 09 Oct 2013, 19:54

Take something out, photograph it, put something in, ship to the next in line ...

Halvar · 09 Oct 2013, 20:34

I know I'm waaaay too late, but if it's back in Germany now anyway, maybe I can spontaneously jump in at this point and at least spare Acanthophis the annoyance of sending the package internationally twice?

Muirium · 09 Oct 2013, 20:38

As a fellow recent jumper in line, I'd be hypocritical indeed to oppose. Besides, anything smart to get this moving again is a fair idea.

7bit · 09 Oct 2013, 20:40

My suggestion to speed this up:
Acanthophis->Halvar->Hoggy->Muirium->...

SORTED LIST :
...
7. Hoggy ( UK )
8. Muirium( UK )
9. brdrgz ( US )
10. Mashby ( US )
11. Halverson ( Canada )

Muirium · 09 Oct 2013, 20:47

Poor Canadians, always waiting until the end. (As the last stop in Europe, I wonder if there's any discount when sending to countries smart enough to share the queen, when using her own Royal Mail! Likely not though… some bloody Commonwealth.)

ne0phyte · 09 Oct 2013, 21:11

If Halvar can still get in I would like to participate, too! Especially if it'll be back in Germany before it goes to the UK and finally to the US

hoggy · 09 Oct 2013, 21:16

I'm good with that - hell, waited this long...

Mrinterface · 09 Oct 2013, 21:32

Great!

@Halvar : please send me and Acanthophis your address to get this baby rolling ( yet again )

Halvar · 09 Oct 2013, 22:01

Yesss! Thanks, I did.
