so I bought a set of shafts on ebay from what-looked-like a reputable seller...
I bought them on Wednesday and they were showing as "shipped" but USPS said that the label had just been printed.

Check out this conversation:

ME:
Hi
The listing shows my item has been shipped but when I look at the usps tracking it says that only the label has been printed
Can you please let me know when you plan to ship?
Thanks

HIM:
Hello,
The label has been printed and staff is sending them out on Monday morning. You will receive more updates then.

ME:
Wow
Does it usually take you a week to ship?

HIM:
Yes sir - not a big business prioritizing ebay shipments. Just trying to sell people some high quality products for a discounted rate,

ME:
Yeah, but I have sold many things on ebay and always ship within 24 hours
This is highly disappointing

HIM:
Maybe that is you. I am running multiple businesses and taking care of tour players. My assistants take care of shipping.
You'll be getting your product soon - if I had never responded yesterday, you wouldn't feel the way you feel. Sorry for trying to get back to you..

HAHAHAHAHAHA ROTFLMAO !!!

Taking care of tour players??? 

At this point I just gave up and am hoping that this person is actual real and the shafts are in fact going to be mailed.

 

You know the old saying: The customer is always at fault for inquiring about shipping times.

Did the seller say they were backed by squaretrade or similar??

Not that I saw

could be a hard lesson learned

Doesn't Ebay have some type of policy to protect the buyer from a sale gone bad?

I thought they used to have that feature to ensure they could get people to register there and bid on auction items.

Yeah they have a really good buyer protection policy actually.

Driving in MA...

Years ago, our area got an influx of roundabouts; someone must have made a visit to Europe, but downsized them to where they are hazardous when a lot of traffic is present.  West Richland put in one about 5 years ago, and this last fall they took it out; too many accidents!

In Kennewick at the intersection of two 4-lane freeways US395 and WA240, there is a double intersection that 18-wheelers have trouble negotiating without running over curbs...

oh yeah... My town has two traffic circles that are directly north-south from each other along the same pretty busy road and only about 1/4 mile apart... The first one put in is actually a little smaller so occasionally someone will miss the radius either too tight or too wide. And yes - I see many "C" car drivers!!!

FYI, I’m a “D" car driver.

We went out for dinner for the Ministers birthday last night, to Centrepoint Tower in Sydney. We were in the revolving restaurant about 800 feet up.

[MattF]

Today we drove down the south coast to Kiama to see the blow hole.











Then we went and got an Aussie hamburger and chips.

[Rob Person]

That is so cool!!!  Thanks for sharing!!!

Last day today.

I had this for brekkie this morning. I used to drink these quite often a long time ago.



We had lunch at my brothers house. As his partner is Japanese, we had sushi.

Thank you @MattF for sharing some pictures of your trip back to Australia here.

Hope you all enjoyed the time there, and safe travels when you head back home to Ohio.

Rob mentioned that to us! Really cool. The whole HQ team do so much hard work it's great to see they are getting the appropriate shoutouts.

[MattF]

We made it home after close to 24 hours travel. Our bags were unscathed, so that was a good thing.

We got a couple of hours sleep during our travel but we slept hard and actually overslept today, getting up about 11.

I was sensible and go back to work on Wednesday so I can get re-acclimated.

It is with a sad and heavy heart that I will no longer be playing golf anymore, and therefore will be leaving MGS as well. While I can't go too deep into the reasons, let me just say that I've found a new passion to fill my days.  Starting tomorrow I will be selling everything i can, and investing all my efforts into saving the double toed beaver. 

Thank you all for your understanding during this difficult decision I've made.

As long as they are not wooden nickels! Beavers would eat them up!

Added a new title today at work today. I am apparently now the NASCAR liaison. Put in a bid today to sponsor a team for four races and if all goes well we will be running Dover, Charlotte, Pocono and Daytona. Some projects are more fun than others and when it comes to this one they just found the redneck in the room to git er done.

Still negotiating. Selfishly I will be taking a few few pit passes for me and the kids. Going to take Reilly to Dover, Michael to Charlotte and Candace to Pocono. Hopefully I can get Daytona so my wife can go. 

[Jmikecpa]

Hoping to sign the contract today to lock in a sponsorship for Dover, Pocono, Richmond and Daytona in the Cup series. Just got the first rendering of the car from our creative team and it is pretty cool. Had to pivot off of Charlotte but it all worked out and have an option for a few end of year races at a decent discount. Some days at work are more fun than other days.
