What Grinds Your Gears?!19739

I've spent years perfecting my brand of assholery. DrWatson private msg quote post Address this user
I was helping Dale Roberts at a show when this guy asked to see three or four wall books. He looked over and looked over them. Then he said, " Will you take $XXX for the lot?" Dale said okay.

I asked the guy how he wanted to pay. He said, "Oh, I'm not going to buy them. I just wanted to know what you'd take for them." Dale and I just looked at one another.

My own stupidity “grinds my gears” this time. Thankfully I got lucky.

Sent 7 books to to other guys for the McFarlane signing. I brought the shipment to my local UPS. Paid cash. I threw out the receipt and tracking slip by mistake.

That was 2 months ago. Last week, I checked my account, no record of it being received. I had no tracking. No proof of shipment. I figured it was lost. I called cgc, they said boxes are checked in within a week of receipt. So yes, it’s lost.

Then Yesterday I log in, package is received! Months of being angry with myself taught me a lesson. Don’t throw away your shipping receipts.

My bet is that it was "lost" somewhere at the cgc and they just happened to finally find it and log it into the system. Boxes checked in within a week of receipt my ass.

I'd like to say I still turned out alright, but that would be a lie. flanders private msg quote post Address this user

Yeah I try to keep all my shipping receipts until I see that everything's been delivered with my sales packages.

I would imagine it was a shitstorm of packages coming in for that signing, and they just lobbed everything into a room until they did the cutoff, then began processing boxes that they squirreled away already. Thankfully you sent it in when you did!
