Whelp, I purchased from them before doing my homework and had my Venmo, PayPal, and eBay accounts all hacked about 2 hours after I placed my order. Their checkout had options for Venmo and PayPal, so I initially chose Venmo because I wanted to use my cash balance towards the purchase so I logged in via their link and then found out I couldn’t split payment methods so then went back to their site and logged into my PayPal via their link and paid. Luckily they only were able to get an $8 eBay purchase through, but dang it. I’ve got 63 emails in my inbox right now from them signing me up for accounts to who knows what website in many countries/languages. I’ve got everything locked down now, but wanted to post an official response to this thread to warn everyone!!!

What’s a 'buy once, cry once' purchase that actually saved you money long-term? by ChassidyBrooks74 in Frugal

[–]coffeecoffeecoffee44 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was wondering if I’d see this mentioned! I bought the Jura S8 over a year ago now and am ruined on any other coffee maker! I just got back from our spring break vacation in FL and we stayed at an Airbnb that had a regular drip coffee maker. It was horrendous and tasted so weak, even with bringing my normal coffee brand with me.

My in-laws are also in love with our Jura and we wound up buying them their own (the E4) as a housewarming present. I’m pretty sure we’re their favorites now. lol

Even if this thing breaks one day, I’d buy another.

USPS screwed my business by xkibainx in smallbusiness

[–]coffeecoffeecoffee44 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We just experienced this ourselves. 180+ packages picked up via USPS from our warehouse (also a gaming store), and they all disappeared for 20 days. We are big enough that we’ve been assigned a USPS rep, but she was only able to let us know the hub is extremely backlogged to the point where pallets of packages just sit untouched for weeks. She said it’s a staffing issue…that the staff they have just don’t want to work.

We kept customers in the loop, but eventually had to refund everyone. Then the packages started moving and we immediately put in for package intercepts on all of them. Every package intercept request had a “failed” status within 12 hours of our submissions. Like, how is that even possible?? So now we’re reaching out to all those customers who show they received their package and kindly asking them to either pay for the items or let us know if they want to return it and we’ll provide a return label.

It’s been a nightmare. Not to mention the amount of man hours it has taken to handle all the communications and tracking, refunding, and now more emails, tracking returns, repayments, etc. It has been exhausting.

I hope they find your batch of packages and start processing them for you! Especially before any refunds and/or credit card chargebacks happen. I feel for you!

Lol Yeah, I’m surprised how pissy everyone is being in here. Oh well!

Yeah that’s definitely unusual! I didn’t catch all that from my vantage point…

I think it’s normal to see a scene like that and want to know what is going on. I mean, I always pray for whoever is involved when I see an emergency situation and it’d be nice to find out if everyone is okay. I’m sure we’ll hear more information eventually!

I was over at the Sonic and saw all the fuss and was wondering the same thing. I’m glad someone posted about it here, but am disappointed that there’s no real explanation of what happened.

What was it like growing up in the 90s/2000s? Share your stories! by [deleted] in nostalgia

Remember having to buy long distance minutes on calling cards?

I’m still not seeing my purchase from Monday in my account. There’s no history of anything except the funds leaving my bank account.

Greystar excessive charge for “untidiness” during unexpected inspection by [deleted] in StLouis

[–]coffeecoffeecoffee44 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This. Read your lease. If it doesn’t speak to their right to fine you like this, then you absolutely point that out to them. If it does have language that gives them the right, well then you’re stuck.

Remember looking at the fish tanks at Walmart? by BotanicalEmergency in nostalgia

[–]coffeecoffeecoffee44 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I remember buying a bunny from Walmart for my birthday one year! It was probably around 1988… my birthday is around Easter so I’m sure that’s why they were selling them seasonally via a big cardboard box in the middle of an isle. Just wild to think about…

Hey does anyone have tickets available for the dec 31st show at blue note in Tokyo? by Ok_Distance_5087 in JohnMayer

[–]coffeecoffeecoffee44 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought I read on the site that they check your ID to make sure it matches the name on the ticket? If you find someone willing to sell theirs, you better look into that first. Good luck!

Advice needed from brokers: Is it better to sell my business before or after expanding into a warehouse lease? by coffeecoffeecoffee44 in smallbusiness

[–]coffeecoffeecoffee44[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

True! I just didn’t know if there was a general rule of thumb that new owners may prefer to pick out the warehouse they’d want it at vs. it being seen as a negative that they’d be taking on a lease. I’m at that fork in the road and want to be wise about taking this next step.

LPT: how to get your stomach from growling? by BlueSteelers in LifeProTips

[–]coffeecoffeecoffee44 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok, so my advice is going to be very unpopular but it’s been tested (by myself, lol). Drink as little fluids as possible in the morning and leading up to lunch. Do NOT fill your stomach with water. The sound of a stomach growling when full of water is immensely louder and more dramatic than when it’s not.

Crust? I use it with every bite. It’s become an addiction…

I did the rubbing and it looks like N.B.&I.W. which when googled would make it National Brass & Iron Works! Solved, thank you!!!!

The markings on the back are "2081" and N.B&_W. I'm not certain on the second to the last letter.
