Atari I/O Retro Junk Box IV: A New Hope!


Recommended Posts

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 ;)

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
