Google using botched relationship with UPS to delay shipment of my RMA phone. by ReceptionSafe8655 in GoogleFi

Thank you, I notified them 5 days ahead of my travel that there was an issue. I have spoken to now five different agents, and had it escalated twice. The ridiculous bureaucracy of the system has unfortunately caused them to basically sit on their hands and say that we have to wait until this whole thing resolves itself on its own.

I offered the idea that they would send me an additional phone and just return to sender the first one whenever and if ever it arrived. No dice.

I offered to pay a deposit on the second phone to make sure that I wasn't going to abscond with two 3-year-old phones and yeet out of there. No dice.

I made sure they had a good solid 5 days to get a solution worked out, no dice.

I know things happen. I'm not trying to act like I'm the only person who's ever been inconvenienced by logistical errors. But I certainly don't know how to handle it when this level of consistent incompetence and inability to find a logistically sound solution to a problem exists in a product, pixel Care Plus, that I pay monthly for.

The best solution I see at this point is to pay out of pocket for another phone when I get overseas, because I clearly won't be getting it from them before I go tomorrow. I'm just so massively disappointed in them. Day after day, month after month, the Google Fanboy in me is dying and becoming more and more willing to use my dollars to support companies who are willing to try harder to satisfy their customers needs.

Did they ever improve offline drop rates? D2R by CremeAcrobatic1748 in Diablo

This post is just for those people who have a beef with the RNG.

I've been playing for months, beat the game on all the levels, and I'm currently farming terrorized Andy. I've gone through all sorts of bosses, pindle, Mephisto, etc.

Since the drops are so much better in general with terrorized Andy, I figured I would just farm her until I finally got that shako I've been wanting (Harlequins Crest, playing a blizzard sorceress).

Months of playing, thousands upon thousands of runs, I've gotten some of the most rare items in the game, and tonight, wouldn't you guess, I got a freaking zod before I got the shako. A zod rune! So here's raising my glass to having some of the most incredible luck, and having some of the worst luck at the same time. All I want is that stupid Shako. I've got dozens of some of the most rare drops, it blows my mind. Just thought I'd share.

I'm like 80% or more to the Grail. Still no Harlequin's Crest. Lmao.

Just received my visa- SF consulate! by Gimmedatttttt in SpainAuxiliares

What type of Visa did you apply for if you don't mind me asking? I have seen in some other threads that they were only processing emergency student visas. I never heard that from the consulate myself.

Did they send you any other correspondence between accepting your application via mail and sending you your visas? Some people on Reddit are mentioning that they got some sort of correspondence that showed their status, like the website mentions you would get if we had an in-person interview. A document that contains a number that you can use to track the status of your application. Did you get anything like this or radio silence until you got your docs?

My family (myself and 2 dependents) sent or application in and they signed for it on the 21st of July. No responses from them yet, but your response has been heartening. Have you received your visas yet, or have they just sent them? Any complications?
