exciter1 Posted October 26, 2015 Posted October 26, 2015 I'm a little disgusted knowing that a good percentage of EBay members who sell loose LEGO must live in an environment that smells like cigarette smoke mixed in with Brut/Old Spice. 1 Quote

10230 Posted October 27, 2015 Posted October 27, 2015 (edited) Bought a used set on eBay, and wondered why the seller doesn't upload a tracking number. Now I see in the details that the Economy Shipping he selected is really USPS Media Mail. For 6lb of Lego. Really? I just hope the PO isn't going to inspect that package, or I have to deal with a postage due case. Estimated delivery in about a week. We shall see. Any experience with cases like this?

Any experience with cases like this?Bought 3lb lot on ebay and the seller shipped it first class with a weight of 5oz. Got a postage due notice. Seller refunded me cost of extra postage. It was an "honest mistake". Ok sure. Quote

lazuli16 Posted October 27, 2015 Posted October 27, 2015 Since we're on the topic of megablocksWhile sorting through a 15 lb lot, my 4 yr old and I came across some mega-block minifigures (megafigures?). Having never seen one before my son was intrigued by them. After a 15 minute study, he concluded that the megafigures were superior to the lego minifigures. Now I fear I may have to follow up this post with another complaint a month from now....when he asks for a mega block set for christmas. 1 Quote

meganr Posted October 28, 2015 Posted October 28, 2015 This seems as good a thread as any to post this. I came across this article and though it might be good to share especially with holiday shopping coming up. I used to live in the country on a dead-end road and never really worried about packages being stolen, but now I live in the city and I feel like I need a giant locking mailbox. https://gma.yahoo.com/consumers-warned-phone-app-cited-porch-package-thefts-160459368--abc-news-topstories.html Quote

humanvege Posted October 28, 2015 Posted October 28, 2015 You can always change the TIP to $0 or other amount. I didn't tip my guy, it was actually an ontrac guy that delivered my prime now package.

Expand That's my point exactly, people are expecting to receive tips to do their own job. We already paid for our service so why should we pay again just because the worker was showing up and doing his job? Don't like being not tipped? Don't work on that job, find another job. It's their job to do their job, so don't expect a tip. Look at all the countries all over the world, most of them don't tip and they provide EXCELLENT service. You get paid for your hard work and effort while people here provide crappy customer service and still expect you to tip them 15-20%. 1 Quote
