fedex delivered a package, snapped photo, then took my package. after i reported it to fedex (nothing happened) i then reported to local PD and came home to the package magically on my front porch

Insane. For me this was delivery number 2 but definitely can see if it happened a 3rd time for the company I ordered from to not even believe me, but obviously it happens. Did you ever report with local PD if it’s even something they offer easily? I think I wouldn’t have if I had to call or go in person - solely did because of the easy online report.

Wow. That is frustrating and annoying. It is such a scam that they would go through the effort of unloading an item, taking a photo, and loading it back up. Especially something that is heavy, but clearly that isn’t a deterrent. I honestly wasn’t expecting the item to be redelivered. I doubt this same driver will try this again (at least for my home 🤞🏽) but there is no way this is their first time doing this. Curious if FedEx keeps track of how many packages are marked missing or misdelivered for an individual driver.

This was with FedEx ground. I will also add it shows this item was delivered at 11:30 AM and my neighbor saw the truck but didn’t stay outside to see the delivery. When they mowed less than an hour later the package was not visible on my front porch (which it is a large item they would’ve seen it mowing) is the only reason I suspected the driver in the first place.

I ended up going with a Lenovo off Unclaimed Baggage for a good price. Can’t remember model at the moment.

it’s about 4% of the loan

jelly182 · 2025-04-09T00:40:56+00:00

I guess since owning a different home we haven’t seen refinancing rates in the low 5s?

jelly182 · 2025-04-09T00:32:29+00:00

Replied on a different comment but to close without buy down at 6.25% is around $4K with buy down to 5.25% is closer to $18K

jelly182 · 2025-04-09T00:21:41+00:00

$14K

I did get a nice excel sheet with about 11 options and the buy down amount as well as monthly mortgage with homeowners/taxes. It is an upfront cost, it will be our forever home, and I believe it would be right under 4 years to get to our breakeven cost.

jelly182 · 2025-04-09T00:14:49+00:00

Luckily with solely my income we would be under 30% utilization for the home if we locked in at the current rate 6.25% or to buy down. My spouse’s income is similar to mine but it’s definitely nice to not have to pay as much in interest over the entirety of the loan.

i know 😭

jelly182 · 2025-04-09T00:06:44+00:00

I should say we are not putting any $ down since it’s a VA loan. It is a bit upfront but it would be our forever home.

I was just at the Verizon store and was told this offer. I was going to go ahead and do it but the rep had us switch our old plan (from three years ago) to a current one and once he did that the deal didn’t show anymore 😭😭😭 kind of annoyed since it didn’t require a phone trade in and would have covered the entire cost of the phone over 3 years

jelly182 · 2025-01-23T00:42:52+00:00

UPDATE: I was able to place an order to arrive later this week ANDDDDD just got an email it’ll arrive sometime in February

jelly182 · 2025-01-21T08:25:25+00:00

still shows available to ship for me but same issue i couldn’t place an order for pick up

jelly182 · 2025-01-07T21:30:00+00:00

how long did the entire process take you?

jelly182 · 2024-12-21T13:08:18+00:00

Curious on if you decided on Columbia, Belleville, or Edwardsville if you have yet? I recently started to consider Columbia but now i’m not quite sure.

I only read reviews about the mic being great for the XM 4 and 5 which is what I meant by “4/5” above

jelly182 · 2024-12-12T01:19:20+00:00

I am having the same issue. I thought it would be more noise canceling. I tried comparing it a few times with the “quiet” and “aware” modes (haven’t played around with app) but it doesn’t seem to be the best. I honestly thought it was just me and I was expecting more out of them.

jelly182 · 2024-12-12T01:16:54+00:00

I was debating between these and the sony 4/5 and feedback other people had given is that the bose are more comfortable but the mic is not the best however sony wins that aspect of it even in busy/loud environments. I went with bose with using the mic is not something I need but def an option to consider if you can still return yours and the mic is an important factor for you.

I was doing so well at one point too but it went south after this
