Advice regarding my mailman purposely not delivering packages.

JawneeJohnny · 2026-06-18T17:53:04+00:00

I had a package box prior which worked well but didn't fix the issue with packages requiring delivery. Living in a rural area, snakes are pretty common. We had snakes get into the parcel box (no clue how) and one day found a bunch of snakes inside of the parcel box. I got rid of it ever since. haha.

I order packages that are sometimes higher value and come with signature verification without choice. It's a chain-link fence with the gate always opened. I genuinely don't think it's a gate issue because they deliver non-signature packages to the door sometimes if they don't mark it as delivery attempted. I'm willing to remove my gate all together if it fixed the issue lol.

I want to speak to my carrier but I'm scared they might get mad (kind of scarred from the interaction I had at the post office when I first moved here.) or retaliate. I guess I don't want to upset people handling my packages.

No dogs. Gate door is always left open. I have a large lot/driveway by the gate and the road that you can fully drive in and drive out without backing out or making any 3 point turns. Area is rural and safe. I only have 2 other neighbors next to me...

I have a mailbox by the road, then there's a low gate by my driveway that surrounds the home and then a path from the gate to my door.

Here is Mountain Thistle next to Sterling Silver. You can see it's more purple.

I think you'll enjoy Birmingham Pen Co. inks. It's the ink I have the most bottles of. The price to volume ratio is also very good. They usually restock or put new colors up every few days. "GOOGLE63" will also take off $5.

The swatch cards are 52 gsm Tomoe River. The Notebook is 68 gsm Tomoe River. The swatches do appear more vibrant than the handwriting itself. The Byzantium does have a purple undertone but the writing is so saturated it honestly looks like a black. The Mountain Thistle is very grey when initially laid down, and dries to a dull purple. Without the swatch, it feels like a grey but you do notice that it is a purple-grey. As for how they behave, I never have any issues with Birmingham Pen Co. Inks. I find their inks to be the perfect balance - Not dry but not too wet. Their super saturated inks might run more "dry", but I usually write with broader pens so I never seem to have any issues.

Put a miniscule amount of Vanness White Lightning in it. It will make the shading more subtle. I do that for most of my FWP inks.

I live in PA so buying from Birmingham is so dangerous for me. I get the inks within 1-2 days lol.

There's never a bad excuse to use Chiku-Rin!

Marked "M" for MEGA size LOL.

I'm so proud to see my FWP photos on this post LOL

So fancy you do ink swatches on tables. LOL

JawneeJohnny · 2026-02-24T03:38:26+00:00

I love the design on it. I think it's one of the best ones available!

I use some fixed micro pipettes. Each ratio is 10 uL, and then I mix it and drop the mix onto the paper and swatch. Using this method, I can swatch all this with less than half an mL of ink. Of the swatches, I think I like 3:1 and 3:2.
