Rowsdower70 Posted March 26, 2016 Report Share Posted March 26, 2016 I wonder when it comes my way if the box will still hold up? Still a long way to go... Honestly the way the box is over-stuffed...it hasn't held up well. I'd be VERY surprised it this one goes the distance. We might try in the future avoiding a bulging box "For you - Rowsdower from the 70 - have been appointed Omnivisioner of the Game Grid." ~ Atari Adventure Square Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

correagonzalez Posted March 30, 2016 Report Share Posted March 30, 2016 I guess the box had to make a pit stop before going to the next destination lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmjustin6 Posted March 30, 2016 Report Share Posted March 30, 2016 Maybe so much was stuffed in there that the box exploded like a pinata and the postal workers had to track everything down and put everything back into it. And surely had a hard time Haha thats almost word for word what i said to rows about what i thought had happened Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rowsdower70 Posted March 30, 2016 Report Share Posted March 30, 2016 Well, no news from USPS so far. Methinks I might need to skip future boxes until Texas USPS gets their shit together.

correagonzalez Posted March 30, 2016 Report Share Posted March 30, 2016 I think the post office lost the package but let's hope for the best and shows up soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nosweargamer Posted March 30, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2016 I think the post office lost the package but let's hope for the best and shows up soon In all my experience of dealing with hundreds of boxed packages, I have only one get lost, and it may have been stolen off of my porch. I have however had a few instances like this where the box appears lost, but pops up a week or so later. Here's hoping that's the case.

RickR Posted April 2, 2016 Report Share Posted April 2, 2016 Folks -- I know it's disappointing, but we just need to hold on and wait a few more days to see if the box turns up. Your patience please. No blame to any member here. Please no more questions about it. We all feel badly, but it's not really a big deal. Peace to all. This will absolutely not prevent our future box plans at Atari.io.

This will absolutely not prevent our future box plans at Atari.io. Exactly. The box could still turn. Also, this is why we ask the sender to insure the box for $50 (which is free). If it's lost, they can use the money to replace it with a new junk box and keep things moving. Either way, all we need is patience.

Arenafoot Posted April 2, 2016 Report Share Posted April 2, 2016 Row - I hope you get the $18.75 shipping costs back too since the USPS will give you the $50 insurance money then you'd have to spend another $18.75 to send out the 2nd RJB4! Otherwise you'd spend almost $40 in shipping costs alone.

Otherwise you'd spend almost $40 in shipping costs alone. I'm not sure, but if a package is never delivered, I believe you can get the cost of shipping back as well, even if it isn't insured. I know I went through this at least once shipping things for ebay.
