When someone sends out an email and people mass reply to it, who do you blame more? The idiots that reply to all or the sender that doesn't understand how to use the BCC option?

Double-posting...

Postby **Kane** » Thu Nov 21, 2019 11:57 am

When someone double posts on a forum, which post do you reply to? The idiot that posted the first one or the poster who posted it twice?

That is a very good question.

UPS.

That is all.

Oh, you mean the brick house on a major highway?

The one sitting by itself with a street light by it?

I can understand how you could not find it.

Check to see if you can get an HSA account instead. They usually offer them with a high deductible account. You don't lose the amount you contribute to a HSA. Whatever you don't spend carries over to the next year.
Not worth it IMO. I'd pay much less in premiums but when the bills came, I'd be well in the red.

HSA's only seem to make sense if you don't foresee anything other than a few trips to the doctor during the year.

I suppose it depends on the planrs but I'd run the numbers for the worst case scenario. I absoutely did not believe we would but in my company's plan, worst case we still came out better with the high deductible plan and if nothing major happens, well in the black.

It's Weds morning before 10am on the east coast. I want to order some batteries from Amazon. I have Prime and get free 2 day shipping. The delivery date for everything I'm looking at is Monday.

I live 45 minutes from a distribution center in NJ. I frequently get stuff the same day or by 8am the next morning with our Prime.

Location, location.

Are you actually logged into your Amazon account? Also, are these all sold and shipped by Amazon? You may have to look at the other prices to see if the Amazon sold/shipped is a little higher. Happens to me from time to time.

Postby **AuthorTony** » Wed Dec 04, 2019 10:01 am

Yep, logged in and the items are shipped and sold by zon. Actually, everything I've looked at this morning shows arrival as Monday.

Postby **NTP66** » Wed Dec 04, 2019 10:07 am

I'm seeing the same thing, and there are two fulfillment facilities within an hour of me. It must be a holiday rush thing? Like blackjack, half of my stuff comes in one day.

FWIW, Amazon's own batteries have held up pretty well for me

Postby **willeyeam** » Wed Dec 04, 2019 10:14 am

they normally take more than 2 days this time of year

Postby **skullman80** » Wed Dec 04, 2019 10:26 am

Yeah assuming just lots of stuff to ship. I likewise get stuff in a day sometimes, so this doesn't bother me too much. It's the holidays, still plenty of time. I have packages coming from Amazon for about the next 4 days in a row.

Postby **NTP66** » Wed Dec 04, 2019 10:26 am

Yeah, I've been using Amazon batteries for a lot of stuff lately - rechargeables, alkaline, etc. Prefer Eneloop's for more critical stuff, but the Amazon ones a good bang for your buck.

Postby **NTP66** » Wed Dec 04, 2019 10:27 am

FWIW, if you order something and it doesn't come in 2 days, you can always chat with them and complain. They'll usually give you something for the issue, like a $5 credit. I've done that quite a bit in the past.

Postby **meow** » Wed Dec 04, 2019 10:30 am

I am against people doing that. I don't have a good reason

Postby **NTP66** » Wed Dec 04, 2019 10:33 am

I only did it for things I needed ASAP that didn't arrive within 2 days. Gotta stand behind your service if I'm paying for it.

Postby **meow** » Wed Dec 04, 2019 10:35 am

I totally get it, but if you needed is ASAP, I think there are better avenues than ordering online more often than not, no?
