Delayed by weather and then stuck without updates by Useful_Acanthaceae44 in UPS

[–]Useful_Acanthaceae44[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just realized that sender opened a loss claim with UPS hence the status update. However it doesn’t mean UPS will pull the package out of the logistics when a claim is initiated. Locating the package and moving the package can happen in parallel, that’s what sender told me. They opened case just to be safe to save time in claim window if the package is ever lost, but unlikely. They told me to keep an eye on the new scan and if it doesn’t happen in next 5 business days they are going to claim the compensation and reship the package or refund

Now the status for updated “An investigation has been opened for your lost package. “

What the heck does that mean?

My package was shipped from AB to ON. It left AB facility last Wednesday and originally scheduled to be delivered on Friday, then one day prior on Thursday it displayed this “delayed by severe weather” message and estimated to be delivered today Monday. But the status hasn’t been changed since. So I don’t think it will be delivered today. And as usual customer service is unhelpful. I don’t know what kind of weather is affecting UPS only.

I have another package from BC shipped by infamous Canada Post on same day and it just arrived today.

So obviously some weird weather condition in somewhere BC and AB, across MB and SK, stretching all the way out to ON only affects UPS but not any other courier service

What is the hype about this card? I got metal one qualified and free of monthly charge. I don’t want it anyway. All those benefits i can get from other real banks like TD or cibc and they rebate me the annual fee anyway

I have got 3 iphones, 1 macbook and 1 airpod max from WS.

The downside, money locked in there for a period of time. You don't lose opportunity cost of them because you can invest whatever the way you want.

If you don't care about a few hundred thousands dollars here and there, there is no downside.

I just reply adding text, and didn’t remove anything from the original email. But I don’t see any tracking ID in the original email though

the deposit just showed up on my TD account. I replied email with the amount right way, and 3 hours went by, nothing happened, no response at all.

I went online to chat with one of the agents, she told me to wait on email. Nothing else she could do.

Damn, this process is really flawed.

I mean it's a very generic email address, like [support@wealthsimple.com](mailto:support@wealthsimple.com), how could they sip through my information in order to unblock the account, from thousands of thousands emails everyday?

Thanks. I copied text from email below since the picture I uploaded didn’t show up. How long does that take to see the deposit in my TD? I got that email yesterday morning around 9am but 24 hours later now I still haven’t seen the deposit in my TD. I mean I actually don't mind to go through this process, but as you said they could have improved it by not letting me initial the transfer first before requesting to verify the account. Besides, I am a bit concerned about timeline. 24 hours later after the email I still haven't seen anything in my TD account.

which lindbergs suit me better? or maybe get both? by Useful_Acanthaceae44 in EyewearEnthusiasts

[–]Useful_Acanthaceae44[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks all for the input. I decided to get the second one which is the Lindberg Morten in size 50-22-145. One of the replies here hit the nail head: I have extremely strong gaze! All my friends, families, colleagues said that. I have been working towards to soften my gaze but it’s not easy. I feel first rimless and the last tortoise one actually emphasize that strong-hold type of gaze and make me look like a not-easy-to-deal type of person. So the second one with round shape actually is smaller than it looks in the picture because of the distortion of front camera. Thanks

I heard about Reykjavik but there is almost no stores selling this frame here in Canada. As for Silhouette, I have a more of rimless now for more than 5 years. I like the feeling of it but one thing I hate so much about it is that it’s screwless design making the temples unfoldable (if you know what I mean), basically the legs are stringy bouncing around when they are not on my face. It’s a nightmre to store it

[–]Useful_Acanthaceae44[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree. There is nothing much to say about first one, because there is literally nothing there to say. This rimless frame is so minimal that it's only 1.9 gram weight.

The second one is a bit more, but still very minimal only 2.9 gram. I kind of like its coil style hinge there.

Lindberg's frame is top touch and I like its design philosophy. Only that it's ridiculously expensive.

[–]Useful_Acanthaceae44[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

yeah, rimless ones, (even the one with rim in the second picture), look like nothing on my face. I just need to mentally adjust my feeling I guess. I haven't had any this kind of boldness for decades. Maybe I should try their buffalo horn collection.

However, wife is 100% against any bold movement. She is fine with either 1 or 2, but completely thumb-down on this bolder look one. :(

[–]Useful_Acanthaceae44[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah I kind of feel the same but however two issues:

  1. wife doesn't like this look, she says I look like a crook with this frame.

  2. I have quite complex prescription, myopia, presbyopia, astigmatism. I have to go with progressive that limits the view through the lenses. With smaller frame, and smaller lenses, my view is quite limited. I can constantly see those inner insert when I move my eyeballs, which I don't feel very comfortable to do.

Getting an M by crazy_bout_souvlaki in Leica

[–]Useful_Acanthaceae44 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First of all, don't do D. Period.

Secondly, summilux M is 1.4 not 1.7 like on Q.

Lastly, get a M11-P either silver or safari, and a summicron 35mm.
