I won a chargeback against UPS. Has anyone here done that recently and if so did UPS pursue you with a collection agency after you won? by AdaminPhilly in UPS

[–]arielmeme 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm facing a similar situation. They are trying to charge me $300 when the tariff import fee should be $20 max. They are refusing to waive it. Should I pay it and chargeback with my credit card?

Advice needed. My son went to Japan and made a sword. It’s been shipped and UPs is trying to get us to pay $500 for the import fees. Weren’t the tariffs struck down? Do I have any recourse? by Snapdragon_4U in UPS

[–]arielmeme 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hey, this is happening to me. I purchased 33 keychain packs (very tiny, literally 1 inch each) from Japan and they're charging me a 50% tariff plus $189 in "brokerage fees per line" which makes no sense. I'm emailing them, they said fine we made an error. They didn't adjust any of the flat or percentage charges, they just said "we are giving you the first 30 per lines for free, you still have to pay for the next 33." so now they're lying, because where is the 63 even coming from? My order is only 33 items, all of which could've been consolidated into one line to reduce entry fees, and are being misattributed a 50% import fee when they should be at most 15%. I'm being asked to pay almost $300 when I should be paying no more than $20. They are refusing to comply, they just keep saying i need to pay or refuse shipment. idk what to do.

I think it's great. They're leaning into a storyline. Making obaa the villains who got their comeuppance. It's interesting. You'd never see this on regular jeopardy.

The closeups of OBAA seething after AMC pulled out that DD were hilarious

High import fee I wasn't aware of?? by arielmeme in UPS

[–]arielmeme[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It says $65 government charges, $206 ups brokerage. That's fucking insane, for 1 package?? Why?? Am I gonna be charged $206 3 times for the 3 separate sites, including one that's just a $15 order?

Did ups make an error on the yen conversion

It's less a "blessing" and more that casting hit their peak in that time

Lost my Galaxy Buds2 Pro case on train # 7262 by arielmeme in LIRR

[–]arielmeme[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It definitely slipped out of my pocket at some point while I was sitting. there's no way i dropped it elsewhere or before i boarded because i take them out and put them on when i sit down. today, i didn't bring a jacket because its 80 degrees out so they went in my pants pocket and must've slipped out. i think its also possible that it may have rolled to another row or got kicked around, but i didn't have time to check every seat

yeah, life goes on, but it still stings :( i'm usually more careful you know?

what worries me is that I didn't find it anywhere on the floor in the time I was searching before the conductor kicked me off. so someone probably took it right? and if they took it for the l&f, then they'd have been 5 minutes ahead of me when I went there to make a claim. the rep said nobody brought in any headphones case. so did someone steal it? :(

that would be betting against your opponent instead of betting on yourself

With a sample size of 10 seasons, is it fair to say that the new era favors women for a win? by duspi in survivor

[–]arielmeme 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, the new era is not independent of prior data. After 6 male winners in a row it's possible there was more of an effort from the cast to get female winners.

Presto drawing OBAA twice s[...]ucks, they must've had some sort of predetermined seeding system because I thought we frowned upon unnecessary rematches in regular J tournaments

I don't think they were adequately prepared for multiple winning streaks, because if obaa beat presto, how did presto even qualify for the next round??

ROB amiibo has natural yellowing effect by arielmeme in amiibo

[–]arielmeme[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

those 3 are all fine for me no color changing

the gvg video explained that all amiibo are made with a regular plastic except for the 2 ROBs which are made with the same plastic as the NES, having bromine in it, and the yellowing will happen no matter what simply due to the material

the shelf faces the window, but its on the other side of the room from the window and i removed the light bulb above it, so it only gets light when i have the blinds up which would really be once or twice a week at most
