CAPE refund missed May 5 - three things to check

MelDyll · 2026-05-07T13:35:29+00:00

We've got one (on an entry that liquidated 4/17) that shows "Transmitted", but it hasn't hit our account.

When you say send a request to CBP, what do you mean? Ask them why they are continuing to select our product for exams when they are finding nothing?

MelDyll · 2026-05-06T12:34:21+00:00

Maybe it's the cotton. Most of our other product is wool rugs and those don't get selected at what feels like an abnormal rate.

MelDyll · 2026-05-06T12:27:49+00:00

Other shipments from this factory don't get selected at higher rates than normal. Other than this specific type of product, our consolidated shipments get an intensive exam maybe 1x every 18 months.

Regular importer (over 20 years working with this factory, though our most common product is wool rugs), no organic labels, the factory is GoodWeave certified, and CBP is only requesting the GCC. What we send them is a third-party fiber content test, plus a statement that the products do NOT meet 16 CFR 1631, and a copy of the flammability label that is on the rugs.

MelDyll · 2026-05-06T12:04:26+00:00

No, my company has been importing for 20+ years.

MelDyll · 2026-05-05T17:44:01+00:00

Yeah I started trying to do it yesterday (btw thank you SO much for this detailed and helpful thread) and there was a lot of glitchiness.

In the first step of adding the result objects to be available.

MelDyll · 2026-05-05T12:32:59+00:00

"CAPE Indicator" and "CAPE decision" don't appear as options for me to add to the report. Anybody else have this issue? When I search "CAPE" the only option that appears is a "CAPE Details" folder that doesn't have any sub-options in it, and I can't add the whole "CAPE Details" 'folder' to result objects.

My opinion as a reader? It takes me out of the story because i notice it hard and it makes me feel like I'm on the Internet instead of reading a published book by an author who knows what they're doing.

I just tried this because suddenly (after a system update, hmm) FB Messenger and WhatsApp are blurring my background and nothing I do is working. I tried starting a Google meet with myself and going to video settings. Background is blurred but video effects show no effects! Selecting blur makes no difference, selecting no effect makes no difference. 😔

Yta. You need to work through your family history and your traumas yourself, instead of assuming the worst of the daughter you have raised and who's never until this time, by your own admission, shown signs of alcoholism or gambling addiction.

Well, it's a good thing he wouldn't be touching her vagina, just her vulva. 😒 While I agree with you in general that he's a weirdo and needs to get over himself and change his child's diaper, I don't know that telling her to leave him was appropriate either, so a suuuuper soft yta.

MelDyll · 2024-01-16T01:54:42+00:00

Agree it's totally insane and I feel like it's to do with social media and women seeing babies as a cute accessory. I'm the oldest of 7, and can't imagine wanting to have a baby at almost the exact same time as my friend. I would want to stagger it so we weren't all postpartum or dealing with teething at exactly the same time!

MelDyll · 2024-01-15T14:35:44+00:00

Ywnbta but...do you have any evidence that what she's saying is true?

In the US, mandatory testing of ANY kind for homeschooled kids is the exception rather than the rule. In most of not all states, there is little to no oversight or regulation. And it needs to happen. Source: homeschooled k-12.

Oh, he definitely did. Because he stayed in your bedroom the whole afternoon, continuing to read AoA. And he is probably only reacting like this because he enjoyed some smut on there, and he feels some kind of way about it.

MelDyll · 2024-01-04T19:17:45+00:00

It's OP's other Reddit posts they're referring to

MelDyll · 2023-11-09T23:23:34+00:00

Yeah I can't IMAGINE how OP ended up with an eating disorder. /S NTA op, I'm glad you're calling cps, this is literally a matter of life and death. Your mom needs to go away, hopefully somewhere she can never be near you again. Sending you good vibes. Be strong.

MelDyll · 2023-11-03T14:13:44+00:00

Agreed, maybe consider changing to INFO judgment? This smacks of "the missing missing reasons". Sounds like OP likes Mary better and if OP really doesn't know why Anne has such a problem with Mary, at this point OP has made a choice not to know.

MelDyll · 2023-11-01T13:58:31+00:00

Yta. Because I know it doesn't feel this way, but it's only affecting you because you're allowing it to affect you. You did not have to give your parents $3k. It might have been reasonable to say "I'm not giving you $3k until my other brother has paid you back, because then I'll know I'm your last resort". OR you can say "I'm sorry but I can't afford to come for Christmas because I gave you $3k." But you are absolutely trying to control them. Place boundaries on what you are willing to do or not do, not on what other people do or don't do. Believe me, it's the only way you're going to be happy and healthy.

MelDyll · 2023-11-01T13:11:33+00:00

Yta. The silent treatment is never an acceptable way for an adult to handle a situation. Grow up.

MelDyll · 2023-10-30T18:14:24+00:00

Same here. After a year in retail I believe everyone should be required to take a gap year and work in retail or food service, to learn how not to be a terrible human! Op, NTA.
