FedEx has my hat (pictured here) in a package in the local delivery office. It got there yesterday, but since three business days from shipping isn’t until Tuesday, package sits. At least my UPS local office and driver deliver those types of packages.

Kinja'd!!!

Revenge against the terrible HVAC system in our HVAC company should commence Wednesday.

Are you serious? They let it sit for no reason other than because 3 day shipping?

Nice hat BTW, I like it.

Plus, they like to charge you more than the product is worth for duty “because we made it convenient for you by paying the duty out of our own pocket to get it through the border, and our minimum charge is $20 even though it only cost us $1.50.”

Fuck you, the least you could do is tell me that beforehand.

At least they’re saving you from the embarrassment of more people knowing you like the Leafs for another day. Also, go Preds.

At least I don’t have to deal with transborder shipments, at least this go around.

I may have to order some stickers because the blue of my car is pretty close to the blue on the home jerseys.

I will be the only person who is sitting under an indoor cassette unit in our office with a toque on. Because I don’t get to ask them to turn it from A/C to Heat, even when the outside temperature is in the 40s or 50s. To make matters worse, my desk is directly under the output, so it blows on me all day.

(I’ve been told that the system stays basically set to A/C all year...)

EDIT: Also, yes, I am serious. Something about they hold packages intentionally because why should they deliver it quicker than what you actually paid for.

There’s also a Blackhawks hat in the package.

At least I don’t have to sink to the level of needing to put piano keys inside the neck of my sweaters to make it somewhat interesting.

The Preds jersey is a beaut and the piano keys are amazing. Also the guitar string numbers. Get off my lawn.

FedEx and UPS has the stupidest shipping protocols.

Smartpost is pure evil. If I buy anything in the southwest, it goes to Dallas, then new Orleans, then somewhere in Tennessee and back to New Orleans then goes to the post office then me.

If UPS gets a package early before the date they say it arrives, it sits in the warehouse until that day. I had a fuel pump sit for 3 days while it waited a few miles from me. I guess I could of went and asked them for it. Then its always delivered at night.

I’m now picturing you in a picket line with a hand-lettered sign that says FREEDOM FOR HAT: NO TOQUE NO TRACK and other quasi-intelligible rantings. Sign supported on hockey stick because duh.

Maybe the hat was recalled en route for that obvious typo.

You should have seen the original Blackhawks typo. It was...uhh...not family friendly.

I’ve had the exact same experience with UPS Ground. Delivery date was assigned when the package was shipped, but the package arrived at my local UPS warehouse a couple days before that date and then sat there. Even though it was already there, UPS doesn’t allow you to pick up a package before a delivery attempt is made.

FedEx Home Delivery operates a Tuesday-Saturday schedule instead of Monday-Friday due to packages that require signatures. Delivering on Saturdays increases the odds that the resident will be home, not at work.

At least those signs make sense. It’s not like I’m printing and carrying around signs with Time Cube on them.

I have issues with the booing. Some of the things are incredibly classless.

I can put up with the goofs in the UC (and how they are playing, they are goofs, DeBrincat notwithstanding). But there is hope for me not being completely anti-Nashville...

P.K. Subban is actually personable, and no longer plays for MTL.

To be fair Vegas is doing better than most teams... Also we’re still recovering from losing a couple key players. I’ve seen the team get better and this trade should help even more. We were not that great during the regular season last year but I didn’t see the Leafs in the SCF.

Chicago fans cheer during the National Anthem. We ain’t about that. Also there is nothing wrong with a little fun. Hockey is not a church service. It’s a game. Saying that the cheers are “classless” is just finding a reason to hate a team that is really hard to hate.

Direct your replies to the person the allegations came from. He made a fair point, I acknowledged it, I don’t necessarily have to agree with it. Fwiw I like the cheers for the most part but I have to agree on the Modano thing.

I don’t even remember the Modano thing. I moved here in ‘05 and became a fan around 2007.

We love him. He’s fun to have around the city and you can tell he has taken the team to another level. There are just so many good guys on this team and they have the support of an entire city that everyone said would never be anything for hockey.

Also, holy crap people are salty about the Modano thing? I had to look it up it was so long ago. 11 years!!! I was 12 when that happened and I’m now married and about to have a mortgage.

MTL was stupid to swap him for Weber. Weber is a superstar in my books, but he’s getting past his prime and is locked in FOREVER, whereas PK should just be peaking now or in the next couple years. But personality-wise he’s a better fit for Nashville and Weber for MTL in my opinion.

In any case I’m glad he’s on a team where I can cheer for him now
