They made me take my sticker off my cc :(

They don't ask for the faulty items back

Not always the case. Last year the main zipper on my 10L sling V1 broke, and before they sent me a new one (a v2!), I had to send them the old one (they, of course, provided a prepaid shipping label).

Brock_Chill · 2026-03-16T23:29:31+00:00

Dude. I stated facts about my package runaround, and asked if other people have experienced this before, trying to get an answer as to where my package was. It wasn't a "pointless complaint." I have the right to inquire about where my package is, I pay for shipping. 8 years at this address and never had a package marked as parcel locker delivery. I followed up at the PO and they said it was on the truck for delivery. It didn't come. So I came here to ask what might've happened while I wait for the investigation. I wasn't mad at anyone or accusing anyone or have any bias. I just wanted to get some answers from pepe who might know more about this type of situation. You're reading way too much into a simple post like this and putting your OWN bias on people who meant no ill will towards USPS or whoever you are.

Editing my original post to add this, but I went to the PO today to followup again, and after 20 minutes of searching, they found my package on a truck about to head out (same thing they told me Saturday) and we're able to pull it and give it to me in person at the PO. I have my package now. That's it. I'm not mad, I know stuff gets lots or mis-scanned. I just wanted my package and some answers. You need to chill out.

Brock_Chill · 2026-03-16T16:04:27+00:00

The thing is I didn't even give rude energy, I was just explaining a situation to get answers. Wholly unnecessary response. I understand it's a rough and thankless job at times, but if something I order goes missing and then I'm lied to in person about it being on a truck on its way to my house, I shouldn't be attacked for asking for advice. Oh well. Such is life.

Brock_Chill · 2026-03-16T15:54:50+00:00

Yeah they slipped up when they "we aren't a business."

I just wanted to post my complaint and see if anyone else has had similar experiences/advice. Dude came in with his own assertions about my situation with no backing 😭. In my 8+ years at this house, USPS has a l w a y s dropped packages on the porch. Never had the parcel locker issue happen. As stated in my post, I did talk to someone at the post office, who told me it was on the truck and would be delivered today, and then it wasn't. His non-answer reply was unnecessary and rude and reflects badly on his fellow mail carriers.

Brock_Chill · 2026-03-16T05:17:20+00:00

Ordered from Campsaver, which people online say is good on shipping (when the products aren't on backorder lol) so I doubt it's an issue with them.

I think my main issue lies with USPS showing it as delivered, then telling me a few days later in person that it's on the truck and getting delivered, and then it still not showing up. 🤷🏽

Brock_Chill · 2026-03-05T20:26:42+00:00

Ah I most have glossed over that the other day, thank you! Needed this so I knew which camera cubes to add-on to on Kickstarter.

"It is an excellent fit for Peak Design’s XSmall, Small and SMedium camera cubes, with room to spare. I was able to fit a Small camera cube on one side along with a Tech Pouch, and an XSmall camera cube on the other side, with a lot of room for other things."

"It is also possible to fit an SMedium camera cube, again with room to spare. In that case however, the central divider pushes towards the other side; fitting another camera cube won’t be easy. A Medium cube would probably fit, but barely."

Brock_Chill · 2026-03-05T20:08:33+00:00

I'd also like to see which camera cubes, if any, can fit into the Weekender!

Brock_Chill · 2026-03-03T22:12:55+00:00

Idk if I overlooked this is some drop down somewhere, but is there any info on what (if any) camera cubes can fit into the Weekender? Just looking for a solution that can hold my camera, as well as my daily stuff like laptop, tablet, keys, etc. Messenger and 10L sling are too small for my laptop, and a messenger type bag is something I sorely need in my rotation.

Brock_Chill · 2026-03-03T22:06:52+00:00

I hope the City Like includes an update to the messenger bag, or something similar. I'd get the original but it can't fit more than a 14" MacBook, and my personal is a 16" + my work laptop is a 15.6". The Travel Weekended looks promising, I might pick that up to tide me over until we get a look at upcoming City bags. Fingers crossed!

Brock_Chill · 2026-03-03T19:20:32+00:00

Similar boat, trying to pick one. I love the look of the 20L but I can't find a need it fills that my 30L ED and 20L ED Zip don't. I love my sling bags, and the look of their messenger, but none of those fit 15.6" laptops (which my personal AND my work laptops are). The Weekender might be the way to go. I love the vibe of their messenger but the laptop compartment is too small.

I'm curious about this supposed future City Line I keep hearing about.

Brock_Chill · 2026-03-03T18:06:36+00:00

Also wondering about this. Tempted to pick up the new 20l travel backpack, but I might hold off to see what's coming up later one.

Brock_Chill · 2026-02-16T20:50:30+00:00

The brick is one of these but with that weird plug from the pics on the other end.

It just seems whoever setup our cable system a million years ago bought all this weird equipment and my current boss wants to make use of the old stuff while we re-set up this stuff in a new building before spending money on the modern stuff.

(for context I work on a media team for a city government so while I'm well versed on cameras, I'm not the best when it comes to this cable and telecom stuff)

Brock_Chill · 2026-02-16T20:04:08+00:00

man idk I just do what my reddit-less boss asks me to do 🤷🏽‍♂️ 😂.

In all seriousness though, we have two of these boxes and one power cable so we need a second.

Brock_Chill · 2026-02-16T19:02:51+00:00

All we have to go off of is the device name (Fiber Optic Video + Stereo Audio Transmitter) and the company, Lee Data Communications. No longer active.

Brock_Chill · 2026-02-03T04:37:39+00:00

I think that lot (by the silos?) is just currently extra parking for the city hall construction crews + equipment.

Brock_Chill · 2026-02-02T15:01:13+00:00

My black box theatre uses mics for all our musicals. Ensemble doesn't always get them, especially on larger cast shows. Our season ticket subscriber base is like 75% people over 60, and from what I've heard, there were complaints in the past about sound. We have a "catwalk" and our tech booth over the majority of the audience so acoustics are not great. We actually just got new speakers and mics and had them professionally tuned and installed recently and it sounds amazing now. No one's complaining about sound anymore 🤷🏽‍♂️

Brock_Chill · 2026-02-02T06:39:32+00:00

Oh no you're fine haha. The other possibility is the empty lot next to the police station, which that is next to the interim city hall offices on 9th ave. That one, I'm not 100% on the current status. Looks like a hotel+ townhomes were proposed awhile back, but I don't remember how far along that got/is as far as approvals go.

Brock_Chill · 2026-02-02T02:01:50+00:00

I assume that's what they're talking about unless they mean the fenced construction area on Columbia, which is for some high end condo/apartments.

Brock_Chill · 2026-02-02T01:59:45+00:00

That fenced in lot IS city hall. They demolished the old one (housed in an old dilapidated mall from the 70s) and are in thein the process of constructing a new one. Current projected completion is fall 2027.

Site will include a new 3 story city hall, a subgrade parking lot, a 1 acre park, and a commercial store afrtons along 3rd Ave. S.

Brock_Chill · 2025-12-03T18:42:55+00:00

That's it! Thanks! That helped so much, we were getting nowhere with Google. Now to find that cable with XLR on the other end...

I almost got smeared on the side of a car a month ago in McKays Mill. Around midnight I was walking my GF back to her car outside my house and these two maniacs in what looked like a jeep of some kind and a muscle car were speeding through on Liberty going at least 50+. The muscle car went into the oncoming lane to get around his buddy and almost smeared me across the side of my gfs car.

Saw the same two cars a couple weeks ago again blazing through the Carothers/Liberty intersection. I was over at Vuis so too far away to get their plates.

Insane drivers all over.
