Title: D***head!
Post by: Natroy on August 21, 2014, 09:36:10 pm
Don't order parts from overseas when you're halfway through a bottle of scotch. I put the wrong house number on my address, and now having drama getting them without being returned to sender first. (3 different suppliers).
Yes I thought of going to the house with the wrong number and tell them to send the delivery to my place.
Problem is, no house with that number in my street.

Can you not stand out the front of a non-existant address and wait for the postie for the next fortnight?

Just trying to think outta the box.

Dude, Just print off a massive number, laminate it, of what ever the order was placed and then stick it to your front fence...

You were just having a bit of a sook, as far as I could see... :D


My own best stuff up was setting up an eBay account with a US address for all of those annoying American sellers who thing the entire planet has only 52 states.
Then I bought a CDI box from Australia using that account. Seller of that item ignores my messages saying "don't send it to America, send it to this address instead", so an item that should have cost $5 and taken two days to send from Sydney to Yass, went Sydney -> Los Angeles -> Sydney -> Yass...
Took two months and $50...

If I stood outside for two weeks, I would get cold this time of the year. I'd get a bottle of scotch to keep me warm and probably miss him. (hic)

Yeah a friend of mine told me to go and see the local Post Office.

The USA has 50 states.
