yeah, its giving me grief as well thru paypal trying to get some customers' labels printed for usps...

 

[Snake Plissken]

Yeah, but they must just be having trouble on the site because everything is taking forever. Selecting a shipping method lags for at least a minute, then it lags again to put it in the cart. Lag to go to billing, lag to get to the print page, the label doesn't pop up to print, then a lag to save to a pdf. If I thought it'd be any faster or less aggravating I'd go to the post office, but I know it'll be even worse there. I'll end up behind some old lady picking out stamps for 20 minutes while they only have one person at the counter.

I haven't used their site in awhile, but it always seemed to be way outdated in it's format and processing. Government run, go figure

 

[Pro Design]

yup the actual site thru usps is outdated and BS...
the paypal shipping isn't 1/2 bad, but still relies on the chitty usps servers... which suck!

 

[Snake Plissken]

I've used the USPS section through eBay to do labels and was pretty straight forward. Now I just do a flat rate.

same here
bulk of the stuff i sell is in that 1-4 oz packaging which is the flat $2.61 charge.. so don't have to worry about it on calculations.

 

[Snake Plissken]

I'm almost always near the mark plus or minus a few dollars anyway.

 

[Snake Plissken]

Got my shopping done. Ordered a bunch of blu rays she wanted. All 80s flicks.

 

[Shawpaw]

Officially done with all shopping.

 

[Pro Design]

[Sweet Rabbit]

Officially done with all shopping.

I got a couple gift cards to buy and I'm done

 

[GeneralZodLives]

Finally got everything printed and sent off. That **** took me all day. I think I'm done shipping stuff though so I won't have to deal with that damn site until after the new year.

Well, this was my mail call between today and yesterday. My other hobby...

 

[GeneralZodLives]

That’s a great set of books

 

[batfan08]

That’s a great set of books

That Fourth World omnibus is massive and a bit overwhelming to hold in person. I’m eager to get to know all that classic Kirby stuff, but I figured I’d kick things off with Gotham Central, which is ****ing phenomenal.

 

[Shawpaw]

I love comics. Excellent choices!

 

[GeneralZodLives]

Gotham Central is fantastic from what I can remember. Can’t go wrong with Kirby either.

I haven’t been keeping up with the current comics like I should. I keep rereading stuff instead. I’m reading Transmetropolitan again. I read the series every year and never get tired of it.

 

[GeneralZodLives]

I got two of the Bond figures this weekend--Bond and Goldfinger--but Oddjob is still in transit. They got delivered to work and I didn't go by to pick them up so I haven't opened them up yet.

I did FINALLY open my Fight Club set. Those figures are ****ing fantastic! I can't believe I waited so long to check them out. I'm in the process of getting figures and statues on display so I'll get some pics taken at some point.

 

[Shawpaw]

The FC are fantastic. I was pleasantly surprised. I have mine boxed up for now. Had to re-organize my shelves and haven't gotten around to putting them back up.

 

[Snake Plissken]

I've been really tempted to pick up that Durden set. Even with the dip in quality of the paint, they still look great.

They're worth it. Sure it's not supreme quality but they do stand out and capture the movie well.
