I think it's standard currently for Canada Post not to attempt delivery if it would require signing for the package. But the notice saying the final date is still supposed to arrive before that final date passes.
The other problem is that Lego never gave me a tracking number for this international shipment. If I had that, I would at least have been able to find out when it got to the local post office even without the notice.

Mail has absolutely been finicky.
I recieved a notice that my ex company is being held for class action lawsuit.
It said the trial is sept 1st, if you have anything that pertains to the trial, please contact us by Aug 25. I got the letter 2 days ago, lol.

That's true. When did people stop making a big deal about the anniversary? I guess Shiithead has a Pub thread about it though.

Trump really fucked the mail system up bad. Screwed me out of almost $1000 because my license renewal check didn't make it in time and was actually lost. Then I lost a $7,000 job because my license expired. I wish someone would give me 5 minutes alone with them so I could tell them whats up.
My camping trip got ruined because the air quality. Might still go down to Big Sur area and get a hotel or something. Trying to make the best of this.

So it turned out they did have my package and it was a widespread problem they had been hearing about all day.
I got a bunch of cool pieces in this order. I had one differential and spring drive already and I got a bunch more. You can do some cool stuff with a regular motor, a spring drive and a differential. You can gear the motor high for a high top speed, and in conditions requiring high torque the spring winds up to supply it.
Also shocks and some other cool stuff.

Lego makes it annoying to order parts. Depending on the part, there are two completely different areas of the site for parts that it might be on (and a handful of parts are on the area with Lego sets). And they all seem to ship from different facilities. The more user friendly of those parts of the site is called Pick a Brick, and the other one is for "replacement" parts. I guess it's more or less determined by how common the part is.

Whattup! Was about to PM you, I have a job for if you still blow glass.
Your artwork is on the side of my fridge where I brew my tea, and the card is displayed prominently on my kitchen table.

Dude for sure, I tried framing the card multiple times but its not a standard size.. Just had a thought, what if we all got covid tests so we can gather.

Personally I’ll gather without a test and nobody will stop me but it’s up to everyone else in the NE if they want to. I don’t have anyone’s number and cant organize it cuz I got a new phone and am lazy! But I will be there for sure if you or someone else were to host again! I enjoyed kickin it that weekend so much thank you again for your hospitality

It was so much fun, I still reflect upon the time with a big grin. Taking it to the G&T thread!

That seemed to be a possibility initially, the deadline to pick it up had already passed when the notice was delivered. But it turned out they did have it, and they said that other people had come in earlier today with the same problem.

Gotcha. So is the take away that your mail is messed up there, too? Wonder why?
