FML

Postby mere1975 » Fri Jun 18, 2010 1:32 am

In a hurry to get to the post office before it closed, I mailed an Etsy order to someone who had (and has) not yet paid. Kiss that $45 goodbye.

ahhhh, suck. i have a similar post office-related FML. i recently had a bunch of international packages to be shipped and i sent them all in a big batch. a couple weeks later, one of my customers in australia contacted me asking if i'd shipped yet. i checked my records and indicated yes, i had shipped and pasted the address i shipped to.

oh, oops. i sent it to canada, not australia. fml.

OW! And I hate sending internationally because you have to go to the desk -- can't just use the auto machine that is my friend. Not to mention it is expensive. I hope it was something lightweight!

My life is not too effed -- the customer ended up paying last night.

it was relatively lightweight. knowing how bad canada's post sucks makes me nervous that i'll never get it back, though. sigh.

i really want to get a printer so i can print my shipping labels at home and not even have to deal with the post office. i've been slacking on that part. a 5'10" blonde mannequin, yeah, i've ordered that. but the printer just seems like so much more work.
