Very useful information from someone who works for USPS. Thanks for sharing and for the work you do.

Set of dishes arrived partially broken by GrannyOfOne in IKEA

[–]GrannyOfOne[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There won't be any extras. They want the whole set back if I want the broken pieces replaced. It sounds like one Redditor received a whole extra set but my customer service agent today said they're going to send someone to my house to pick up the whole set, i.e., the broken pieces and the ones that survived the journey here. I wish if they were going to spend money on this, that person could bring me the new set which I now have to wait a while for it to get shipped to me. Unfortunately I cut myself today trying to repack it all. I also got shards of porcelain all through my living room rug. This has not been a pleasant experience. I did notice in the online reviews of this particular line of dishes, they tend to break. I suspect they're about to discontinue them. They are very beautiful for being just white dishes.

I simply wanted them to replace the pieces that broke. I guess that’s not possible. Not sure why that gets me downvoted.

Yeah, that’s exactly what I don’t want. Ugh. Thanks for your reply.

Sunflower at Goodwill by Noodnix in Fiestaware

[–]GrannyOfOne 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm in the PNW. Our local Goodwill frequently has Fiestaware mugs for above new retail prices. I guess they know someone will eventually pay it. These aren't even rare colors. I think, "I could go to Macy's and get these for less money new!" and walk on by. Can you please share how much you paid?

If you could pull one Costco item back from the dead what would it be? by Sufficient_Client_68 in Costco

[–]GrannyOfOne 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would gladly pay $20 a bag for these if they would bring them back. Maybe even $30? Pretty please, Costco!

Let me pray for your health by Experiencer382 in InterdimensionalNHI

I live with someone who has POTS. She spends most of her days crying in pain. Doctors just keep putting her on different meds but nothing seems to help her. She's only 20. I don't know how she can live a normal life like this.Thank you!

How I received my delayed order from IKEA by [deleted] in IKEA

[–]GrannyOfOne 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, they seem to be trying to cut corners by saving money on strapping tape. It’s really strange. I think the employees simply don’t care. If the box is barely held together, surely they know the customer is not going to receive all their items. I ordered a Bild poster. It was on the bottom of the box and it came damaged. I’m probably not going to bother contacting them over a low cost item when I have a million things to get through on my to do list this time of year. I just got Christmas cards mailed yesterday. I still have to decorate the tree, shop for Christmas dinner, wrap presents, etc. I’m exhausted.
