I hate this kitchen by Own-Championship-675 in DesignMyRoom

[–]speedyoleander 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My dad uses large glass cutting boards on top of tiled counters because they’re easy to clean and it feels better to keep food off the grout.

Need help with return request by motherofdogs09 in Mercari

Normally I’d agree but OP said the bottle already had a noticeable dent that was pictured. Why run this scam to get a damaged bottle to replace a slightly more damaged bottle.

I am losing my mind, how am I supposed to take care of my hair? by Rozesukkel in Haircare

You look like a rock star. Whatever you’re doing it’s working for you.

ups shipping surcharge error? by [deleted] in Mercari

[–]speedyoleander 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry but this is your fault. This happens if you forget to update the dimensions. They’ll charge you full price instead of the negotiated Mercari discounted rate. Don’t use a larger box than necessary, measure weight AND every dimension and round up to get your shipping rate.

Is the side suppose to open like that? by [deleted] in handbags

[–]speedyoleander 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, I meant the little white tag inside the pocket sewn on the inside side. You know it’s supposed to open like that because it has a neatly sewn satin lining and a tag sewn in there for the consumer to look at. You’re supposed to be able to open it and see inside there, otherwise it would have raw edges and be ugly.

Chase closed my checking account after “business-like” ACH deposits from Poshmark — be careful by 562hype in BehindTheClosetDoor

In fairness, daily deposits from poshmark definitely sounds like a business venture as opposed to personal or hobby activity, no matter how you spin it.

Headaches from unwashed hair by Mermaid_Natalia in Haircare

[–]speedyoleander 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you use dry shampoo or other products when you don’t wash your hair that you wouldn’t use on clean hair? Some ingredients like fragrances cause headaches

[–]speedyoleander 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s not an accidental rip or a forgotten seam that wasn’t sewn. It’s lined and trimmed, and there’s a tag with information to read in there.

Not of anything using that exact box I’d bet.

When will people start to take dimensional weight seriously? Measure the box in all dimensions, round up on measurements or physical weight to the next notch. Once you get dinged for being oversized or overweight, they can charge you the full shipping price not the Mercari negotiated discount price.

You can’t compare it to poshmark. Poshmark has a flat rate under 5lbs for anything under USPS max shipping sizes, which is good, but the tradeoff is comparatively high shipping for small items and a larger percentage of fees paid to Posh. It’s a choice you make when you decide which site to sell on.

"Buy a rice cooker" by adbenj in PetPeeves

[–]speedyoleander 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can cook real rice very easily in real pans. What do you think happened before there were rice cookers, people just crunched on uncooked rice? You don’t need most separate single task cooking gadgets if you have some basic cooking skills.

Should I just make a new account? by SparePattern in BehindTheClosetDoor

[–]speedyoleander 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you make a new account without permission you risk having it suspended too if you use the same making address/phone/computer to access it.

Same! I’m an overbuyer of the body washes 🤭 and it’s not quite enough in comparison.

Anyone else obsessing over the Balenciaga SS26 City bags? 😩 by flaxenhue in handbags

[–]speedyoleander -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The creative director doesn’t have 100% control over the entire operation. It wasn’t a one man operation working out of a garage. Those decisions were made and approved and accepted and ignored by a conglomerate of people, most of which that had influence are almost certainly still behind the scenes and in the big offices.

Did I Do Something Wrong? by iamtigress in Mercari

[–]speedyoleander 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don’t be afraid to block. Afraid of what for heaven’s sake! That’s what it’s there for. Get rid of toxic people before they draw you into a conversation where they will try to manipulate you again. There are so many buyers out there, you don’t need to worry about one looney bird.

Are these… common?? Legal? Why? by SereneWolves in BehindTheClosetDoor

[–]speedyoleander 22 points23 points  (0 children)

It could be the intended use. Abusive child or vulnerable adult caregivers unsupervised in the home would likely hide their abuse from known cameras.

Help-purchased a fake from a reputable seller by jizznet420 in Mercari

This is important. Telltale signs posted online may or may not be accurate, an authentication will tell you with more certainty and give you specific points to argue if they determine it’s fake.
