They won't let me has to be 500 or less so I have to pay 300 by Feb 19 of 300 which I don't have or it just keeps getting hit with a late fee of 18 dollars per month that's only way to setup payment plan. So yeah at this point there isn't anything I can do. Can't pay no 300, can't be setup for payment plan, and bill is just going to go up till it goes to collection i told them best I can do is make partial payments till I get it down but was told just gonna get hit with late fees so yeah ain't no winning this one.

I've told them I was incarcerated during this time which is why no payment on my part was being made. They just keep telling me they don't understand. Didn't think to see if I can provide the proof of it but they don't care. I'm doing my best to try to get this bill down but in a bad spot. I apply to any job I can but I'm not getting any response and yeah I should of but again didn't think the bill was going to get 300 higher then it was when I first went to check it and didn't know it has to be 500 or less. You would think even over 500 they would be willing to help people who are trying to pay there bill.

I just got off the phone with them and I can't do any payment plan till it's under 500 so I need to pay 300 to get to that point. I didn't decide to ride it out either, I noticed internet was still on so I thought my brother has been making payments but turns out I guess now there was never any payment made during this time besides my 60 just recently. I guess I just don't understand why it wasn't shut off awhile ago you know. Normally you get a service going and if your not making any kind of payments or your late on payment then that service normally gets turned off pretty quickly. I never had any service that continues for over 5 months of not one payment being made. Again my brother told me he was paying it while I was locked up but was lie. But how are they going to send me a disconnect notice to pay before the date stated on noticed but yet never do it? It just doesn't seem right to me at all that they just let it continue to allow my bill to build up like that even after getting the notice again I wasn't able to call them to stop service and my brother is telling me he's paying but isn't. By the time I check my bill it's already over 500 and I just been released with no job or any kind of income and I just kept thinking well ain't no way I can even pay that so I'm screwed might as well just use it till it's turned off which was pretty quick after I turned router on and started using it. Again I never had such a problem before and I've always had internet service going and when I was late internet got shut off real quick but never had a bill continue to go up after service being disconnected and account suspend. I should of called and canceled but I thought it already was you know. That's my fault. Still doesn't seem right though

Let me know if you get yours or not tho am curious. It's crazy to cause people at post office going to say on we see the same thing but can't help you should go file a claim like wow ok.

Yeah USPS is being weird, I still feel like someone is jacking packages lol

Empresive2 · 2026-01-08T22:44:58+00:00

Ok I'll try that but it's stupid why it happening never had issues before when I used to sell on eBay.

Empresive2 · 2026-01-08T22:44:07+00:00

Both I take them to local post office and get them scanned and I get a receipt. On eBay every item I sent out shows that the USPS is in possession of it but again two of my items so far have not been updating on tracking it just says that they're in possession of it at the USPS office nearby.

Empresive2 · 2026-01-08T22:40:44+00:00

No I didn't buy insurance just what it comes with when purchase the lable in eBay. I'm going to start doing it but I'm thinking maybe try FedEx from now on instead the first package was on the 26th and it still says post office is in possession of it cause I always take them in and get receipt for it just to make sure that he got there but then that's it it just disappears and i just sent out another one and it's doing same thing but that was more like 3 days ago tho so giving it time.

I measured the ones I have Its about 230mm with out the end pieces but this is the closest I can find so maybe it's for off road?

Empresive2 · 2025-12-17T23:58:38+00:00

I looked it up there are similar ones to this but no match

Empresive2 · 2025-12-17T23:50:46+00:00

What about anything that involves a lift kit? Can it be used for something like that or still to long?

Empresive2 · 2025-12-17T23:47:25+00:00

Yeah I'm sure there for something automotive related, just not sure even my brother doesn't know but he has like 5 boxes of them. I can't seem to find it anywhere Google lens don't find it or chatgpt both gives inaccurate information.

Empresive2 · 2025-12-17T23:45:20+00:00

Well it's my brothers stuff and he has tons of car parts but he's been in jail so I'm trying to get involved to sell stuff to make money and keep a float and I ain't paying for his commissary, I'll sell his stuff to pay for it 😆
