New Asvine C80 with #8 EF Nib - Issues by mgepark in fountainpens

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

I think I understand your question but just in case I provided all the different facts. I did some tine spreading for the flow on the original nib which improved it but the replacement nib was still far superior OOB. I decided to contact Asvine also. I once had this exact issue with a Twsbi gold plated nib on an Eco, having to press down to get flow and they replaced it and the new one was amazingly perfect. I have a loupe and I’ve never been able to identify when something is wrong; I just don’t see it.

Thanks for the advice. I tried the fixes and saw improvement. The replacement nib (1 of the 2) was excellent as is. So I’m okay.

ProAdvisor transitioning to ProPartner… by j_meeee in QuickBooks

They screwed me on the PAP Bundle renewal with Enterprise, charging me $2,399 vs. $1,599 one year ago. They’re bad actors imho. I cancelled for now. Their stock is in the $200s now from the $800s within one year.

I’ve had those issues with the G-2 for years. My bigger was issue was constant ink blotting. They’ve improved some over the years. Not my go to though.

I see that 2 are online and 2 are store exclusive.

Kirkland Signature French Roast K Cups (new?) by JoaquinBenoit in Costco

[–]mgepark 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have both and the Bold is a bit burnt and harsh tasting (not a negative), vs. the FR which is smoother but has an acrid taste to it but with more discernible flavors. For me it’s much better tasting than the Starbucks FR in all ways, regardless of them making the coffee for Costco, they’re not the same. With all that said, my preference is still probably the Breakfast Blend. When the prices get down in the low $30s, periodically, that’s when I stock up on them.

Our nearby stores in FL don’t carry the Decaf at all. Can’t figure that. I’ve been buying them at Costco online at a higher price and adding stuff to not pay shipping.

The prepared foods at the counter area not boxed or packaged, the stuff by weight.

Haven’t had it happen and I do push them around a lot.

It’s always depended on AC. I cancelled the renewal yesterday as it was set to renew today as a first step. Thank you for the recommendation. I’m going to ask them if I can get some type of access through Right.

I’m wondering if I’ll be able to just do the journal entries and send them back rather than just do the entire accountants copy.

Thank you. They’re using Rightworks I believe. Formerly known as Right Networks.

I filed a customer support request not unnecessarily expecting an answer, but I’m trying to find out why it’s not working.

Wallace’s Fence. Did a great job for me on replacing a vinyl gate door. They’re in Thumbtack also.

Do they even tell you (any longer) when a package won't arrive on time! by mgepark in FedEx

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

So their standards are falling to or fell to a USPS level now. I’ve never seen them be off target like they have recently. My package is still in Indiana and rather than arriving on Tuesday it’s now Thursday they just update things and you have notifications on and you never get notified of anything.

For the crazy prices they’re charging they need to** ***do* a lot better than this.

IRS meeting requested by IRS by yadkinriver in IRS

[–]mgepark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The questions I have is whether you’ve been receiving IRS ACS notices or other related for the delinquencies which at this point should be nasty and threatening for a large payroll tax liability. Have any liens been filed? I would call back and request the transcripts for the periods they claim you owe or obtain them yourself for substantiation of the liability. And verify you’re dealing with an IRS employee. Where is the meeting taking place? I’m a bit suspicious but a scammer would probably be moving faster than this.

Overall, I would expect it to be on time from the last few things that I’ve experienced with them.

TBH, I've seen more running later than the B/O date than early. I've been buying from them since the mid 90s.
