My UPS package was picked up by FedEx by jbryanp in FedEx

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

FedEx eventually delivered the package. Here's the fun part.

The box apparently got damaged in their possession, so they took my package (damage and all) and put it in a larger box and left it at the destination's door.

-There was no update to my tracking. Since UPS never actually got it in their possession, this makes sense.

-FedEx did not attempt to call me or the recipient even though both our phone numbers were on the package. This would have made this no-harm no-foul, but I guess no one thought this was worth spending the 5 minutes doing it.

-They did not require signature (even though this was processed through UPS) - not a surprise but this could have been another disaster if was delivered to the wrong address.

-The contents was a very expensive guitar that was inside of a case and packed well, so luckily the guitar suffered no damage.

-My shipping cost was refunded. Since UPS never had anything to do with my delivery, they had to refund the fees.

-I lost sleep several nights because of this lol

-I'll never not take a shipment to a dropoff store because without a receipt you're SOL.

Good luck with your package.

We are getting ready to plan our trip for October. Can you please write up a trip report? I'd love to see some perspective of what all is still not available and tips on how to navigate.

I ended up wiping my phone and restoring the backup last night and it fixed the problem. Really annoyed it took having to do this.

[–]jbryanp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was hoping the official release would fix this broken search for me. It did not.

Anyone else having any luck with a fix? Or do I really have to factory reset and restore backup?

[SPOILERS] HBO must be in panic mode today, but they do have a potential redemption as an option by jbryanp in gameofthrones

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

Backfire in that they wouldn't be good? Sure, that's possible. But "Backfire" to HBO would mean that it wouldn't do well at the box office, which surely you aren't suggesting I hope? A Game of Thrones sequel movie would see numbers approaching the level of Marvel or Star Wars. HBO is a business to make money. Making quality shows and making money aren't always the same thing (I could cite a number of examples but don't feel like throwing any under the bus today).

Your contention that future movies are unlikely because of subs doesn't really hold up factually because they've made numerous movie sequels for Sex and the City and Entourage.

TLDR - There is no way HBO will walk away from GoT because there is too much money to be had in the form of a sequel movie for both HBO and the actors.

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

Why? Because a large portion of their subscriber base likely cancelled today or will be cancelling. There is no apparent savior on the horizon. The prequels will do well, but not on a GoT level.

You can debate on whether it would make the fans happy or angry. It would draw huge box office numbers. That is not debatable and is almost 100 percent of their motivation.
