You can call me the bad boy chef all you want. I'm not going to freak out about it. I'm not that bad. I'm certainly not a boy, and it's been a while since I've been a chef. Anthony Bourdain

Thanks for so much inspiration… RIP Anthony

Yeah guys. This is painful. Probably the first or one of the first non-fiction books I ever read. God damn it this sucks

Selling gear sucks…

I procrastinate for MONTHS before making sale threads..

*I need to so one this weekend... I promised Maddy I would last weekend, lol

In my case, i'm just flat out lazy. I really can't be bothered to measure items, take pics and post.

^ this. Uploading pics and measuring is just such a hassle it takes major motivation for me to post anything for sale. Not to mention when you post all the details very plainly and are selling at a very reasonable price and all you get for weeks are questions about sizing and low ball offers its enough to not want to sell anything ever again. Nine times out of ten a good deal attracts the human vultures.

All of that.

I don't have the patience that The Stubborn Crew has… You WILL NOT get that same level of service, lol!

He was a talented writer. Most people know him from his shows but to me the books were much better.

He had started BJJ late in life and had become passionate about it. The BJJ community absolutely adored him.

So I've got to wait in all day for a delivery from DHL. No time slot, just 'delivery by the end of the day' ::)

I thought the days of sitting around for deliveries were long gone…..obviously not with DHL

Just felt the sharp end of Self Edge's harsh return policy.
Sent back a shirt that didn't fit (cost to me $20) get issued a credit note minus $40 dollars for original 'free' shipping. Total cost to me, $60.
End up buying a more expensive shirt with credit note so win win for Self Edge, lose lose for me.
Not happy.

Yep, DHL is the worst. End of day usually means just that, but for DHL that basically means after 5pm

It might be frustrating, but that's their policy… It's up to you to go with it or not...

I've got 2 en route today from DHL… The delivery notification text said "Between 0600-2200".... WTF?!

Chris

It will be there sometime while the sun is up.

Probably.

I would have thought a HUGE company like that could do something better…...a bit like my time sitting around indoors.
I cant even go and cut the grass as I won't here the door bell over the mower.

I wouldn't mind but its my girlfriends birthday present and we go away on our hols Thursday morning and I need to take it with me.

I expect they will attempt to deliver it 30secs after I leave for work at 5.30pm ::)

I knew I should of got her some custom Wesco's size 9, a pair of IHxMOF size 36 and indigo waffle work shirt size XL they would have been here by now and no sitting around.

The best part with DHL is waiting the whole day and suddenly the tracking number says the parcel couldn't be delivered etc. Happens way too often with them. To be fair I never had any problems with DHL Express, though.

Max Power

^exactly. DHL express is the only DHL Service that "delivers".

All sorted, was delivered 10 mins ago.

Thanks for the Rant.

That is true. Once bitten twice shy. My dollar will be going elsewhere in future.

DHL is awesome for me. I sign for it electronically though their text message notifications and they leave it at my door. Do you guys not have that option?

This couldn't be left as it was a watch.
