Going Postal...
Hey, guys. I just wanted to share my frustration with the Philippine Postal Service...
About three weeks ago, Liam (yeehah1200) Graciously decided to help me out by sending me an old canopy of his because I accidentally snapped mine in half... Today, I got the notice in the mail today that a parcel was waiting for me to pick up at the post office. I rush over to get there before quitting time and guess what I should find:
A torn up and taped together envelope. Note all the scotch tape around the address and the re wrapping torn almost in half... There was also this notice:
I dunno if you guys can see but it says "The subject mail was received here in TAMPERED condition..." Yeah,
right. I think Liam wrapped the case before it was put into the envelope... and even if the contents fell out of the envelope, I don't think anything short of ripping the red wrapping open would have gotten the same result. And towards the bottom, "CONTENTS AS FOUND: 1 empty case"... Yeah, empty once they were disappointed it wasn't some expensive bauble.
Though, I can't help but be a little bit amused by this. There must be some airport employee scratching his head at what to do with the little bits of plastic!!
Oh well. I just decided to throw what little money I have at the problem and got another kit... I suppose that now I can replace decals I lost due to sweaty fingers, and the throttle assembly I lost to the parallel universe of the carpet.
Liam: Thanks for the effort, buddy! It's just that packages are no match for the power of the Philippine Postal Service (service? that's
got to be an oxymoron)!! I still owe you one, buddy!
