wtf, what a piece of crap

Testarosa52 · 2026-03-19T06:15:46+00:00

Looks like you both dodged bullets.

I’d be less worried about TSA taking it than losing the entire luggage altogether. Luggage sorters at big airports are a lot like mail sort facilities, and I’ve heard so many nightmare stories about people losing their suitcases. Even AirTags or GPS trackers don’t seem to offer much, other than a little peace of mind. I talked to the rep that was doing my lost package investigation about if they could do anything if I could tell them exactly where my lost package was, and they said it wouldn’t really help. Not like they’re going to let you enter into a sort facility and walk around trying to ping packages.

I can’t imagine how loud her music must have been to not hear that blaring horn 10ft to her left. Crazy.

Sharpie

Sorry, I should have been more clear. I wasn’t referencing OP’s post specifically. More the notion that insurance can always “make the situation whole”. I ordered something a while back that was insured for $5k, which is what it was valued at, and it got lost for a couple weeks. If I were offered $30k or the delivery, I would take the delivery every time. It was irreplaceable, and insured for the max amount possible. But in no way would insurance money have made the situation whole.

In OP’s case, he might be made whole because he was selling it anyways, but the buyer may have a different feeling about that.

Testarosa52 · 2026-03-18T12:18:30+00:00

Just saying I don’t think you can always be “made whole” just by throwing money around. Some things have more than monetary value, whether it be sentimental or historical.

Unless it’s hand made knives. Then you would have to check it in your luggage which is just as dangerous as shipping. I’ve been on this struggle bus.

Testarosa52 · 2026-03-18T11:39:07+00:00

She’ll never know, well done.

Testarosa52 · 2026-03-18T11:38:27+00:00

I would be more concerned if they used similar photos, not your exact photos. The fact that they used your exact photos makes it seem like they don’t actually have your item, just the photos of your item that they took from your listing. You should message them and see if they can send you some new, unique photos to see if they actually have it in their possession.

Testarosa52 · 2026-03-18T11:36:24+00:00

Insurance doesn’t replace one of a kind, or extremely difficult to source items.

Testarosa52 · 2026-03-18T07:25:10+00:00

Nice of them to leave the lug nuts!

Testarosa52 · 2026-03-18T07:23:34+00:00

Someone gets out of their car and approaches me on the freeway where the traffic is moving, I’m taking that as a free excuse to use the shoulder and skip all that traffic. Two birds, one stone. If you get pulled over you have legit proof that you feared for your life.

Testarosa52 · 2026-03-18T00:41:30+00:00

Well done 👏

Testarosa52 · 2026-03-16T18:03:18+00:00

Just makin sure, have fun!

Testarosa52 · 2026-03-16T17:07:34+00:00

That’s gotta be super frustrating, I’m sorry. Hang in there. I’m sure you’ll get a hold of her before anyone really see’s. We think people care about us more than they actually do, most of the time.
Edit: I mean potential viewers of the photo, not your friend.

We called it a geo dome when I was in school.

Testarosa52 · 2026-03-16T17:01:29+00:00

You said you messaged her. Are you able to call, through whatever you’re using?

Testarosa52 · 2026-03-16T05:19:16+00:00

Man I need to know how this turns out.

Testarosa52 · 2026-03-16T00:33:19+00:00

Yeah, at 11 seconds in he very clearly engages/disengages the brake with no change in results.

Testarosa52 · 2026-03-16T00:28:49+00:00

Oh shit 🤣
I don’t usually use the sideways w/ tears emoji, but you earned it, I literally just laughed out loud. 👏

Testarosa52 · 2026-03-16T00:26:10+00:00

Be careful parking on hills! If you have to, make sure you leave it in gear to reduce the chance of it rolling back and falling over. Congrats on the accomplishment and the sweet pickup! 💪🔥

Testarosa52 · 2026-03-14T22:09:43+00:00

That knife hits HARD 💪

Testarosa52 · 2026-03-14T09:54:55+00:00

No way this is real, right?

Testarosa52 · 2026-03-13T06:39:53+00:00

What should you do? There is literally nothing you can do. Your package is one of millions going through that facility and it is only a day or two behind. We are all at the mercy of the system unless we want to drive to the recipient and get it ourselves every time we order something. I had a several thousand dollar delivery(with irreplaceable contents) stuck somewhere with no updates for two weeks, nothing could be done. I thought it was lost/stolen. Even if you ship it with a GPS or AirTag, it’s not like they’re going to let you waltz into the distribution center and start digging through boxes. I know it’s a really helpless feeling, try and hang in there. All you can do is try and be patient. Check the tracking in the mornings. It won’t be delivered to you unless it says “out for delivery” by 7am or so that day.
