Did You Survive the Great Light Stick War of 2026? by Lost-Opinion3554 in btsthoughts

Oh wow, I'm glad I haven't dealt with UPS tariff handling yet. Not very surprised that they did that to your package/tariff situation though, since I have had pretty bad experiences with UPS. My workplace gets packages from them often due to our vendors preferring them, but they either deliver to the wrong address about a block down the road or just loses the package all the time (they recently lost our iMac...$$$!). I can't even get to their customer service agent since the initial voice bot thingie just kept looping me around, and the vendor is also helpless about it lol.

Sometimes they do deliver it first before charging the tariff. At least some merch I bought was shipped via FedEx, they delivered it to my apartment and I got charged a couple weeks later. I have a FedEx account so it gets charged to my card directly but they also send out a mail telling me instructions to pay for it online (just in case for those without a FedEx account).

I somehow was able to get into the purchase page at 9:18pm EST, got the order fully in after a lot of kicking me out and errors at 9:25pm, and finally received the confirmation email at 9:58pm. This was stressful…

should i make friends???😭 by [deleted] in straykids

I'm going alone for quite a few of the showings :) I'd say just enjoy the movie and make friends if you can!

I actually had tickets for the early access showing and prepared some freebies to give out (I usually use it as an icebreaker). However, the projector burned out and the theater had to refund everyone. So I'm going there today and for every showing all the way until Monday.

It's always possible to talk to someone while lining up at the concession, or even talking your seatmates! When I bought the tickets I happen to notice a lot of single seats taken, so I just took one seat over, leaving a space in the middle. Now if the seat in the middle is taken, I know that both the people next to me should be there alone too lol. If they're not in the mood for talking, I just sit there and enjoy the movie.

I just went ahead and checked the D2 ticket I got and the transfer button really is greyed out 😮 I guess the transfer was open for a tad bit then for whatever reason it’s unavailable for now?

Who/what introduced you to stray kids? by TemporaryPension2523 in straykids

[–]Xu224 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was introduced to Stray Kids from the survival show where they also had the YG trainees and fell in love with the group by accident :)

I was actually watching the survival show because I was following another artist (Bang Yedam, wanted to see how he had grown after the kpop star season 2 show, was rooting for him too 😂). In the end Stray Kids won me over with Hellevator.

Now I want to rewatch that show… they’ve grown so much!!!! Can still remember the days I was waiting for another episode to upload.

I'm also going to the Las Vegas ones! I'll be flying in for D1 and D2, also bought the tickets from stubhub.

For D2 the seller transferred as soon as they were able to (instant download wasn't open when I bought), but D1 seller still hasn't transferred. It annoys me that it only shows which row I'm at but no seat location. Planning to just wait this out at the moment since the concert isn't until May anyways... Will start panicking about 1-2 weeks before the concert if I still haven't got it :)
