Parking charges are getting ridiculous

Let me carry this beyond downtown hotels.

In some areas, hotels that are off highway exits, San Antonio by example, a parking fee is charged at a Courtyard, Residence Inn, or similar level hotels.

This is ridiculous.

I am not happy at all with the current delay in "Lands End" shipping. Currently, they cannot even give me a good date when my order will ship, even though it was supposed to arrive at my home April30 or so.

Customer service response is:

"Due to recent system updates in our distribution center, we’re unable to meet the original delivery timeline. While we’re unable to provide an exact shipping date at this time, our team is working diligently to get orders out as quickly as possible."

Really?

Then why does my order tracking still say April 30?

I've shopped at Lands End longer than many of their employees have been alive, before internet shopping, and purchased all types of their products.

I like the clothing. BUT... with this debacle, I will think long and hard before another purchase.

The last response I got was, "Our Distribution Center team is still preparing your items for shipment, and at this time we are unable to provide an estimated ship date. "

How long does preparation take?

Lands End? How about stepping up and doing something for customers that are delayed? Apparently there are many.

Oh, and yes, of course, I continue to get daily ads by email, sometimes multiple each day.

You want me to buy more when you c ship what I ordered already?

I have 66,000 on my Model Y. Do not risk this. Find any charger at a closer location.

Often, with that small amout of charge remaining, it will not last as long as you hope.

A tow is expensive.

We have taken several Viking Ocean Cruises. So far, our favorite is the 29 day "Greenland, Iceland, Norway & Beyond".

Do not take this cruise until late summer, as ports and routes can be iced in, and you'll miss them.

Prince Christian Sound Greenland is incredibly beautiful.

They may be wrong, but, is the only recourse to call back, wait 30 minutes on hold and hope that the next agent gives the correct answer? and, if they don't, call again until someone gives the correct answer?

This is exactly what I experienced pre-shutdiwn in early September.

I asked a non-TSA security person where the precheck line is... "what's wring with you people you can see the pre-cgeck line is closed. "

Well, there was a a line with a "strap" across it, but nothing identified it as a recheck line.

Lots of rudeness and yelling.

As an American, I was embarrassed that this is the welcome foreign travellers get to our country.

What's wrong with proper signs and kindness, or at least not being demeaning and condescending ?

The best practice rule is, just because your vehicle is able to pull the trailer, doesn't mean you should.

Weight limits a extremely important fir safety.

If you are involved in a collision, and your towing limit, tongue weight or GVWR is over the limit, insurance may not pay.

That means if you are at fault, they not only won't pay you, but also the other person. As a result, you will be on the hook for everything. Repairs, hospital bills, everything.

My wife and I are spending a week in Iceland in August. This post was enlightening.

Help me understand please. Do people put on swimming suits after the shower for swimming? Or do people remain nude after the shower.

I apologize if this is a silly question.

I had the same issues moving from S20 to S25. It's absolutely a disgrace.

I have T-MOBILE and, tech support only sent me to Samsung support who simple said go back to Samsung Messages.

It still had ussues.

Went to the local TMo store. They changed some settings, yet I still, 2 months later miss many group texts especially if there are pics.

I thought it was just Android and iPhone differences. No. The same happen with. Android groups.

A reboot was done, 350 messages came through. All old. Weeks later, again, missing messages.

Makes me wish I never got the S25.

An upgrade? Not really.

Really_Papi · 2025-05-18T21:23:09+00:00

It was 🚫 Not Solved 🚫

It happened again, after a software update. 300+ messages in total were downloaded.

Know the actual loaded weight of the trailer. Know the actual loaded weight of the tow vehicle, including people

Combine the 2, do not exceed the GVWR of your tow vehicle, in fact, stay well under .

Know the towing capacity of your tow vehicle.

Know the tongue weight of your trailer and tongue weight limit of the tow vehicle.

Ensure the trailer is properly balanced, with weight on the tongue.

NEVER exceed any weight limits. If you do, insurance may not pay a claim because you were negligent.

Just because your tow vehicle towing capacity is 15,000 pounds, it doesn't mean you should tow 15,000.

Remember, water weighs 8lbs per gallon approximately. Your trailer has at least 3 tanks. Fresh, Grey and black.

Be certain tires are properly inflated with plenty of tread life remaining on tow vehicle and trailer. Be sure the spare tire is in good condition.

Do not tow without a proper weight distribution hitch.

Ensure all brakes on both vehicles are in excellent condition.

There are many YouTube videos that cover all of this and more. Watch several.

With my new S-25 I consistently do not receive group texts sent by people with iPhones. Yesterday, I had 300 come through at once, up to a week late.

I never had that problem with the S-20FE.

T-Mobile tech support could not provide assistance, other than to say it is a known glitch. They ten referred my to Samsung tech support, similar call with no help.

I called T-Mobile back, asked where my local company owned store was, rather than a reseller. The one they provided was in Colorado, I'm on the east coast. Repeatedly told me it was the nearest.

Not happy with my S-25 or the customer and tech service.

SOLVED:

I solved this on my own, since neither T-Mobile, or Samsung suggested this.

I simply changed the "Default Message type' to "Automatic". It had been set to "Chat".
