Crapwheels would be what would happen if I tried cartwheels! Yes a movement of such force would cause a release of embarssing products! @beardless @JaneQP @Poseidon1 @merlin44 @PurpNGold74 @beachglass @Fiz @JJ520

I sell on eBay and had a package that was supposed to go to New York that got sent to Dallas area and it bounced around down there for days. I finally had to reship another package to the customer because of the stupid delay.
It finally found its way but what a mess.

Super stoked, lights, camera action. Quick off topic question.

Approximately, from dropping seed, to putting them under veg. Light, how long? Germination to veg light. Just looking at timeline and storage unit project.

I just dropped 5 seeds and let them soak for 24hrs on a Friday.
Placed in solo cups right after the soak on Saturday.
They broke ground on Tuesday Morning.
So 4 full days from hitting the water they sprouted.
I put them under the veg light as soon as they are in the dirt.
Hope this helps.

I hate tracking myself. Just gives me another thing to obsess over. The worse is when it hits ur local PO, goes out for delivery, then magically at End of Day it was redirected across the state… or marked as undeliverable… like bihhh i got those bills JUST FINE. Bring me my goods

Shipping label created aug 11 in usa, arrived this morning, 5 days pretty great service considering first timers, well most remember their first.

Thanks for giving me exactly what was promised, very discreet delivery service, unlimited boring questions on your nickle. ESPN wants money for their espn+ service. So thank you,

Try having patience and control the anticipation of arrivals of new toys. And it is just starting…

That happens with me all the time with UPS.
They do that ā€œlast mileā€ crap now and days where UPS carries it across country - to your local post office! Then the post office sends it to their sorting and distribution - 2hrs away in North Carolina and they send it back a day or 2 later TO THE SAME post office that had it for delivery!
I dread seeing UPS has something I ordered. The worst!
The kicker is the same UPS truck that drops off at the PO at 5pm was just in your neighborhood, WITH your package, but the order called for ā€œlast mileā€. I’m NOT in a rural area - you couldn’t get more 'burbs if you tried!
And cow farts are causing climate change…right?

Im literally just outside downtown in the capitol city. Have 3 post offices about 2 miles away a piece… still see my mail get lost in transit all the time. Had a gift for lil man ā€˜return to sender, as my address isnt valid’ last week. It came 2 days later… im pretty sure it didnt go all the way back to Houston then my door in 48 hours…. But i digress :rofl:

We grow a lot of food animals, they all fart, farts = methane, methane = greenhouse gas, so therefor - yes. Unfortunately. (USA, about 50 billion a year, mostly chickens.)

Oh yeah - I’m not discounting the animal - or human populations contributions from personal exhausting habits at all! It contributes greatly - I’m looking at you Taco Bell! :rofl:
I was just pointing out that it doesn’t help when a package is literally hundreds of feet away from it’s final destination and is then sent 150 miles away only to turn around and come back to where it was just 2 days earlier.
I’d like to think we could do better.
We can’t!
But I’d like to think it…

I have the same BS with Amazon. I even live with 5 miles of a fulfillment center and they still send stuff south - and PASS where I live - about 50 or so miles south, only to turn around and brought back the next day.

Someone needs to work on the software over there.

My friend ordered a bamboo fiber t-shirt it got to the main distribution center about a 1/2 hr drive away and just stopped. After a month of it just sitting there he ordered a new one. :disappointed::face_with_symbols_over_mouth::sob:
