So it's been awhile shipping boxes for me... Here's a pro tip. When the lady asks if there's any liquid in the box DON'T blurt out yeah a bottle of Scotch. Then you get the "Sir, you can't ship alcohol" speech. I convinced her it was a type of ice tea(I don't really think I convinced her). Anyhoo
I had a tracking number but can't find the receipt(not a good morning) it was a priority mail medium flat rate box so expect it tomorrow or Saturday. I'm going to now to sit in a corner and flagellate myself for a bit. Smh8-[

Well don't be surprised if it doesn't show up... Hopefully you have more luck than me though. I tried to do a trade with someone on here and the deal was wine for cigars. We both shipped and they received their end but I never got mine... USPS is the dumps.

But actually telling her it was scotch... Well, that is a different problem. .. 😣

I think the noob who was sending to me has disappeared so I am going to gift my turn to Marcus to keep things rolling. Who wants to send smokes to mjrburn?

That IS NOT how it should work. You commit to a trade or whatever ship asap or don't trade. You get a rep as an indifferent shipper you can forget getting a box from me and others. Just sayin.:-"

Well, I personally ship within two days (most times next day) if I commit to playing. BUT... Different strokes, different folks.

I was thinking the same thing. The whole point is to build trade credit, so if you wait a week or two to ship, that lowers your chances of having people wanting to trade with you long term. (But I also understand life comes first...)

If you have work or travel or family issues involved for a while, maybe you should wait to play. Just my thoughts.

Dude seriously. It's not like I expect someone standing over someone with a whip[whip] screaming SHIP. But, if you agree to a trade and it takes 3 weeks to a month..... No one is THAT busy that they can't make it happen. Just sayin? I think....

Well,3 weeks would be extreme, but I live in New Hampshire, and the post office is a little out of the way. Sometimes between packing up the box and getting it to the post office, and then the time it takes in transit, a package delivered from me can take a week to a week and a half to be delivered.
I guess if you can't wait a week or so, you probably don't want to trade with me....just my .02 cents, FWIW

Shipping trades is something I do as a hobby and for fun, and something I do in my SPARE time...in between LIFE and WORK

I've spent all morning going through a packed garage looking for more HD's problem is I build high end Pc's for people and people also give me old HD's to clean for privacy which I wind up reusing until they fill. So I have a lot of old HD's all over the place. It's killing me because it was a massive file with everyone's addy details about who sent what, who likes what, who I felt I owed etc. Really want it back but it's not looking good.
