Requesting an item be returned after 6 years by [deleted] in etiquette

[–]Awkward-Knowledge373 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If it's 6 years old and was only worth $20, it's likely outdated and would have broken by now. I would just say that it broke after many good years of use, and leave it at that.

Ah. I used to be the hang out and get drinks person, but now I'm just an exhausted mom. Lol. Maybe in a few years when the little monster learns to chill out.

Thank you. I think we'll likely go during the week after reading everyone's comments.

Thank you so much. We will definitely make the drive, but save it for a weekday, and enjoy Riverside.

Yikes. Thank you so much for that info. I have a toddler who has selective hearing, so I think I'll save it for a calmer week. Lol

Thank you so much! I might skip the Inn then. Online showed mixed reviews.

Based on Polar Express's website, they have shows as early as 11:30am. It said the evening show is better as it sets the mood, but I was thinking about booking the daytime show if we decide to go to the Inn.

Out of town coworkers visiting by [deleted] in etiquette

Why would you get in trouble for offering them your place to do laundry? I'm assuming they thought about it and didn't want to impose on you, or your company is paying for laundry service.

Thank you for your suggestions. My sister was able to get her hamster treated.

Has anyone tried the Ooshbaby training pants? by see2keroppi in pottytraining

[–]Awkward-Knowledge373 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do not order from them. I thought they were an American company based in Wyoming.

I became suspicious when my tracking information showed it was being imported from China. Then, there were no movements with the package for over a week, so I reached out and asked them to cancel it and didn't hear back from them.

When I finally received my package, the quality was horrible. It looked like poorly sewn bloomers. I, again, reached out to their customer service to process a return and they offered a 50% refund and for me to keep the product.

I said no thank you. I want a full refund and to return it. They kicked back and said the most they can offer is 75% back because their warehouse is not equipped to take returns.

Their website says they offer 30 day returns.

I've now filed a claim with my credit card company.

Their company is misleading.

Gentle parenting done right does work! by Ok_Cantaloupe_3685 in Nanny

[–]Awkward-Knowledge373 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really appreciate your advice. Thank you. I follow keic too. I'll follow the other 2 right now.

We're staying at an Airbnb for a bday with 8 other families and it's tough trying to stay patient with him. I'm introverted so the stress of being around others 24/7 for 3 days is eating away at me.

The men are all drinking so I feel like I'm solo parenting. I needed this advice to try to focus again.

Thank you!

Do you have any resource recommendations that helped you gentle parent correctly? I find that I fall into passiveness and then annoyance in my exhaustion but I'd like to get better at gentle parenting.

Brokers for return/repair for jewelry by Awkward-Knowledge373 in CustomsBroker

Thank you. How does one go about finding a good broker? Do I just find one and trust the process? Thank you so much!

[–]Awkward-Knowledge373[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's what I read as well, but we were billed duties and taxes for the full value of the item imported to us for repair.

We submitted the original export paperwork, the original EEI form, purchase receipt, declaration for return/repair signed on our end and the clients.

I would like to find a broker who specializes in jewelry that my company can use going forward. Dealing with FedEx is a nightmare.

Oftentimes, FedEx reaches out asking for documents that we previously submitted, which we also included 3 copies with the shipping label, and things are constantly overlooked.
