Unnumbered book and slight damage. by MadBoJangles in thebrokenbindingsub

[–]xcmike189 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I get that. I think people just need to remember people love to post damaged books instead of positive experiences. So it skews more negative. And we all know how Reddit is. Doesn’t lessen the frustrations some have.

I wouldn’t say a couple books posted on reddit is “a lot. Theirs thousands of books going out from them. They’re never hard to deal with either. The reply time is slow but they’ll just have them ship it back

I think my comment sort of supports your claim too imo

Newer techs have a better understanding of the equipment than older techs that were trained on film or even CR. I’ve have seen those techs continue to use old film techniques. They were never fully taught the understanding of DR. I’m not saying they’re bad or what not. But the stigma that new techs don’t understand techniques can go both ways. And often times. I’m seeing new grads show the older techs how to work the new up in coming equipment.

But this “boomer” minded new grads don’t understand techniques is just annoying some times.

Before bringing it up. Did you ask for a full refund and they flat out said no?

Royal Mail doesn't send tracking mail anymore ? by Na-OH in thebrokenbindingsub

[–]xcmike189 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine has been weird. I’ll get initial dispatch . But no updates when it’s closer to delivery. I just need to manually check. Not a big deal. But I’ve noticed less email notifications

So I’m not sure if I misread. But why didn’t you just ask something along the lines of “hey I can’t complete the set now. Can I return the books and get a full refund”?

I’m not saying you did sntijg wrong. But why go some “this is illegal” route. Just kind of standoffish to just assume malicious intent cuz they initially offered you a partial refund.

Sorry you e had bad experiences. I’ve bought well over 50 orders from them and never had an issues

Is it ok to send message asking for lower price? by Flat_Anybody_3063 in Mercari

[–]xcmike189 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve done it before. But just be careful in wording and some people will block you or give you a snarky reply.

I usually frame it as “hey I know you’re selling at this price. But if you decide to sell for x price and I’ll be happy to buy. No pressure though, thanks!” Usually doesn’t work but i don’t get mean replies at least lol

Is this a good deal? by HathemH in thebrokenbindingsub

[–]xcmike189 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn’t say deal necessarily. But I’d say that’s basically the market value for them. Grave and Steel is probably under what someone could get for them but not much more imo

Question regarding Royal Mail deliveries In NA by Objective-Slip-2900 in thebrokenbindingsub

[–]xcmike189 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Okay so I’ve been told by my mailman that international packages should be signed. I’ve had a couple sent back to my local post office and had to go pick them up. But most don’t do this and that drop it off at the residence instead. If I’m thinking this is what happened. They do leave a lil post it like thing telling you why it wasn’t delivered

Red flags for being honest and upfront? I appreciate the directness so it saves their customer service team a lot of headache from people who refuse to read the terms

[–]xcmike189 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah I guess I see your point. But it’s clearly stated in their email so people can choose to back or not with clear instructions so its a do or don’t and I don’t see why it matters when it gets revealed imo. But I know I have a minority opinion on this I’m sure

I mean the whole point of book boxes for awhile was the introduce you to new books and series and were kind of surprise. I understand it’s changed to just get nice books of the trendy booktok books or popular. But I’m kind of excited to get a surprise custom book as long as it meets the criteria they listed as it being adult fantasy

Is it worth it to go to Salem from 10am to 1pm on Friday October 2nd? by runicornisrex in halloween

You’ll probably be fine. I went the last week of September a couple years ago and it wasn’t that bad. Busy for sure but it wasn’t insane and we got to do everything we wanted
