Perhaps it's just timeshare rentals, but in all of my years renting out both my unit and my parents' units, the vast majority of renters try and negotiate, usually $100-200. I was willing to knock off $100 from my own rental this year because covid threw a massive wrench into things, and wasn't sure if the prices would be stable, but my renter ended up paying full price.

I'm surprised it's common. I used to travel a good bit and never once asked to negotiate a lower price.
I will only negotiate a lower price if the owner and I are going around the booking site and I only do that with rentals that I've already rented previously and the owner and I have trust. if the owner is saving on VRBO/ABnB fees then I deserve to pay a lower price.

Had a package shipped via FedEx last week. The status has been In Transit, departed facility since Friday. Was supposedly going to arrive today, but typically it would change to out to delivery for that. The fact that it hasnt updated at all is annoying. Usually there are at least a few intermediate updates so you can at least see some progress across the country.

I need to sign for it, so it's kind of important to know wtf is going on.

Had this happen. Product shipped from California last Tuesday, zero updates until Monday when it appeared in Ohio, and then eventually at my place yesterday.

My response is probably over the line for this board, but just know that I had one.

Incidentally, mine finally updated in Ohio, scheduled for tmw, also originated from Cali.
