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…

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.

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.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

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.

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.

Trash you on other forums?
what a asshole -
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.

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.

We absolutely need to refer to IH gift voucher money as bellend bucks.
