No actually this design is by Tetsu, it was he who did the design for the Gosport Tee and the IHT-1209 and IHT-1209.  VO did take the original AI file and rerender for me in something that the stamp makers understood….

[Chris]

So we're both right (or wrong, if you're going to be obnoxious about it).;)

Anyone ever heard of crossflight.com?

I'm in the industry and never heard of them but that's how one of my packages is coming from the UK

[Giles]

Never heard of them…..

Look at this shit.  Seven days and the fucking package is still in NYC.  What goes on in that Sort Facility? Packages leave through the exit door and arrive again at the entrance?

I read yesterday that the US Postal Service lost $12 billion last year.  Billion with a "B".  Not surprising.

I had a small item disappear in Portland…a phone call to USPS and surprisingly, it reappears in Maryland today after disappearing for two weeks...

A toe?..

[hectic]

I can get you a toe.

Ha ha ha ha, genuinely laughing here.

[Seul]

With nailpolish?..

I was CERTAIN either hectic or mega was gonna respond btw… Well you both have 

[DougNg]

Yes, a toe. Jody broke my pinky toe a couple weeks ago. Wish I was joking (about the broken toe, not about the package)

I'm sure it's frustrating, RP, but I'm willing to cut the USPS some slack.  Who knows what's going on in the NYC facility these days.  After the hurricane, there's no telling what sort of mess there is between damage, backlogged packages, relief goods, short staffing, holiday increases in volume and so forth.

[RP]

Chris- I agree with you (and I think there was a holiday in there as well).  It does look a little like the Keystone Kops, though.

People of the Forum.

P and I are trialling a new shipping company, TNT.  Over the next month or so we will be sending the odd package via TNT and then asking for feedback.

Thanks, G

I love TNT…
