I watched this too, but I try and keep up to speed on all things sustainable. It's what drew me to Iron Heart originally…I'd hoped that IH is conscientious about it's sourcing and production.

We are trying as hard as we can to be plastic free in our household. We get a veg box scheme to cut back on unnecessary packaging, and their delivery is carbon neutral. Where plastics were once used we are buying bamboo alternatives.

It's all too easy to be pious, and that drives me nuts, but it's good to try and improve what you are able too.

I've gotten the pat down wearing 21oz. Not a big deal.

Texas sure has some weird weather.
Sunday it was 89 degrees out, sunny and humid. Yesterday it dropped down into the 40's.
From wearing t-shirts to a deck jacket. ::)

^ Lovely autumnal combo though [emoji1491]

Thanks! I just wish it would've been a more gradual transition to colder temps.

While I totally understand (we can get 10C swings in the course of 12hrs and 15C in the course of 24hrs round my way), I would imagine it’s a take what you get scenario when it comes to deck jacket days in Texas?

And with less rain…

Broark

The rain has been wild. And when it comes to deck jacket weather in Texas I shouldn’t be complaining. It rarely gets cold enough to break mine out.

Nice email from customer last night…..

"package not delivered because "customer not available". You didn't send it something silly like "signature required" and fail to notify the customer (me) did you?

Cause if you did, it will cause me to have to drive over an hour one way to pick it up...and then I'll never do business with you again and likely just have it shipped back for not giving a shit about my time while trashing you thoroughly on all the style forums."

It took many attempts at a reply, but this is what he got back:

"The default shipping option is:

SHIPPING TO THE USA - DEFAULT

Fast, Signed-For Courier Service, Delivery 1-4 Working Days (FedEx or UPS - we'll pick the quickest option)
This was shown to you during the check out process.

If you do buy from us again, you can waiver signature required, but then the risk of the package getting lost after it leaves your local UPS/Fedex depot is down to you.

Giles"

Most of the previous versions were a little shorter and a tad blunter.....

Well done. A lesson in self restraint.
How you resisted from telling him to take a flying fuck at a rolling doughnut I don’t know.

Mad respect for staying this calm and allowing him to buy from you again (or was that just a phrase and he shouldn't worry about that?). Seriously such behaviour and threats of throwing dirt at IH on other forums is unacceptable.

mclaincausey

That was a study in restraint, @Giles . Well-done, very few people, myself not among them, would have handled that with as much class.

EDIT: though it would be fun to see him rant and rave about that publicly and to have the entire world laugh at him for being a dipshit.

UnTucked

@Giles you're a far better man than I am…..

Modern childishness. “Hey guys, don’t buy from IH. They want to make sure your stuff gets delivered to you personally and not just left on a doorstep! The gall!”

Stupid car repairs. Needed the coolant and timing belt replaced. The shop tried to hose me on brakes which they put in last November, so luckily they were still under warranty.

I also didn't notice that the default shipping options was "signed for" the first (few) time(s) I ordered. Now I know to ask. It could be made more explicit by forcing the user to select one option or the other during check out.

Trash you on other forums? what a asshole

Chris

Why do people ever think this will make the retailer look bad?

"Hey guys- guess what this asshole company did? When I bought something expensive from them, they wanted a signature on the delivery for security. Now I have to go out of my way to pick it up because I wasn't home. They couldn't have any way of knowing that, so now I'm going to just be a childish dick and send the package back, even though it was something I wanted. That will teach them a lesson! Who's with me?"

The lack of ability to think objectively, even just a little bit, amazes me.

And of course, packages these days are tracked constantly and their location is available online almost to the minute. It takes no effort whatsoever to be informed about your delivery down to the last detail.

Giles

He's just come back to me and said, "I may just buy from you again because the jeans are awesome". That was it, nothing else.

I'm tempted to go back and tell him to send us cash, but not signed for as we may be at the pub when the package arrives….

Alternatively you could tell him that no one needs his dickhead-dollars (bellend-bucks, moron-monies) that badly, and that he’s cut off, because people like him wearing Iron Heart proves that there is such a thing as bad advertising.

I realise that this would render pointless your previous, and quite admirable restraint, but honestly, screw that guy.
