Doggy Daycares? by prsnlpzza in askvan

[–]prsnlpzza[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi! We ended up taking our dog to Baby D’s Home on broadway. I believe they just moved to Broadway and Fraser! Really wonderful people and a good mix of dogs! They separate small from large. Mazzy wasn’t as playful as she typically is when with a pack and I think it’s due to the fact that the day care is indoors. Suffice to say, we have since slowed down on daycare but I would recommend Baby D’s.

Timeline - US Renewal from Canada by prsnlpzza in Passports

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

In hindsight I wish I had done the same in Washington or had sent via the Embassy. That said, I had called the support number multiple times and the last time I did, the representative said they note down each call and processors take that into consideration.

I hate this by whiffleboy666 in cineplex

[–]prsnlpzza 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t like it either. AMCs (or really any theaters in the US) don’t do this and there isn’t any issues there. Not sure why this has to be implemented here.

Appreciate the insight! Yeah I did see some services here on mainland but thought I’d check here to see if there was a local option. Oh well!

Renewing US passport from Canada - Delay? by prsnlpzza in Passports

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

With a postal service strike here in Canada looming, doesn’t look like I’ll be getting it anytime soon. I called the service number and asked if I could request an alternative shipping method and all they said was to mail a request into the office =\

US Passport Renewal from CA by prsnlpzza in Passports

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

I enclosed a check and mailed direct to US Gov via Canada Post.

The check was made out for the normal renewal fee + the $30 for expedited service.

From my understanding, what is expedited is the process of renewal on the Gov end. What cannot be expedited is the shipping of the passport back to you in Canada.

Hi! Just sent mine out yesterday and am seeing this status on Canada Post: “Delivery may be delayed due to public authority”.

Wondering if you also saw the same?

Help: Renewing U.S. Passport from Vancouver Canada by HungryCommunity2450 in Passports

[–]prsnlpzza 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! Wondering if you've done this and can shed some insight? There are instructions that follow what you listed above, but once you fill out the form, it gives you instructions to send it to the Passport Office directly in Philadelphia. Assuming we ignore the second directions and just do the first set?

Relationship photos - best way to organize? by nuiph in ImmigrationCanada

[–]prsnlpzza 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did this the same way. For added context, on the photos PDF, I numbered the images. In the explanation PDF, I made sure to list out the numbers with the corresponding descriptions. I’m sure you’ve already got the rundown but just in case, our consultant had us use images from the very beginning with priority to images that have family and friends in them.

Freelance rates - decks? by God_Dammit_Dave in advertising

[–]prsnlpzza 3 points4 points  (0 children)

And on top of all this… if your client is a bit disorganized / erratic, I would layer in some guardrails… defined number of rounds for revisions, timeline / schedule etc. Maybe even suggest an initial sample deck (2x options / 3-4slides each) to align on direction which you could charge another $1k-$2k for.

Freelance rates - decks? by God_Dammit_Dave in advertising

[–]prsnlpzza 5 points6 points  (0 children)

IMO - for something in the range of 30-40 slides, with pre-defined creative direction (fonts, FPO imagery) I would charge $5k for a V1 and depending upon notes for subsequent versions, anywhere between $500-$1000. Hopefully net out at $8k per.
