WTF Midtown Comics?

Post office is pretty messed up right now I noticed a deliberate change last week I do ship and receive 50-100 packages a week currently. All my priority was on time first class was running on time just about everywhere then some A hole is trying to pull funding from the USPS and colluding with the Post office general to make mail in ballots late and not counted throwing US elections, by defunding the post offices removing drop boxes and mail sorting machines. The whole Pandemic my post office had 5 people at the counter starting last week 1 person at the counter lines out the door everyday across the parking lot with the socially distanced line thank god I use prepaid labels and can drop it off and skip that line. Now my priority mail is running late up to 5 days my first class is running 3-14 days late and when I make new labels this week for sales all the labels say like 13 day away estimated delivery when I print them for first class itā€™s always been 3 days 5 days latest if itā€™s going back East. So this is why all our mail is Fd and since Iā€™m sure everyone here spends a ton of money on USPS you should all be up in arms over it and vote accordingly in a couple months.

I donā€™t think the 30 day package is a post office issue. Part of the problem is they waited a week to ship it. And from there my $8 postage was used for media mail and it is taking the scenic route through all the Covid states.

Did you file a missing parcel inquiry? I did that for a package sitting in a distribution center for two weeks while other packages from the same source zipped on throughā€¦showed up two days later in my mail box!

Donā€™t worry, Louis DeJoy gonna fix everythingā€¦

:roll_eyes:

I think some places are just using COVID as an excuse. Iā€™ve shipped out numerous Media Mail packages in the past month and most of mine are still arriving within 10 days. I also normally ship out same day or next day. I know I donā€™t have a ton of orders but Iā€™m also a one man team still doing CHU, working my day job, juggling kiddos while theyā€™re in school (from home), cooking dinner, cleaning the house, outside yard workā€¦ and everything elseā€¦

Mine started home school today what a nightmare itā€™s been all day. Just what I want cameras and audio recordings of my house 8 hours a day in the school system

100% remote or hybrid?

Starting Hybrid in a few weeksā€¦kids in M/Tu, then home W/Th/F.

Anything is better than 100% remoteā€¦Iā€™m ready for the 6 month ā€œsummer vacationā€ to endā€¦

We are 100% remote. This should be fun. One son in 2nd and the other in 5th. I have no idea how they are going to handle my oldest sonā€™s IEP for reading.

Kids with iep go to school 4 days here versus 2ā€¦if the parent chooses to send them.

Parents have the choice to send them in, go onto a 100% remote program (separate from those attending physically) or home school their child. A lot of parents are home schooling ā€¦a larger number than I would have thought wouldā€¦

My son is doing remote learning starting this Monday. SSD Preschool, Monday-Thursday, lots of morning sessions but no afternoon ones as he still naps. Itā€™ll be interesting to see how willing he is to sit for these classes as heā€™s 3 and has Autism, hence it being SSD.

WTF Midtownā€¦ I know these are free but this looks like a human folded itā€¦ itā€™s too perfect to happen by other books sliding around, etc. Anyone else get their FCBD books folded like this? Perhaps a ploy to prevent people from reselling them?

My FCBD books from Midtown have been NM, except for one Lumberjanes book that was perfectly folded down the middle vertically. Whole book, not just the cover.

most of my fcbd books from midtown have been beat up. One was folded cover.

All mine hav been fineā€¦but Iā€™ve only been getting the Midtown Exclusive Spider-Man/Venom 2020.

I think I got 20 of these so far nowā€¦picked up another two at my lcs.

They donā€™t bag em so itā€™s Russian roulette

When I was at Black Cape Comics a week ago, I asked if they had a copyā€¦they gave it to me in a bagā€¦and board!

I was likeā€¦ā€this is weirdā€¦Iā€™m not used to getting them this wayā€¦ā€

Thatā€™s nice. My shop looked at me when I said zi wanted bags n boards for the free books.

I just received my last order that I will ever make again with Midtown. I really didnā€™t have too many problems with long delays with the shipping. But half the time the comics would get damaged. The last box I just opened was the same. I never understood why they use paper or just bubble wrap instead of a comic book mailer or comic book made books to protect the comics. The comics move around in the box and get damaged. Not my problem anymore, I am done with them.

Spawn 309 McFarlane covers back up at $25 on Midtown. Will see how many of those $2.99 orders they cancel.

how do they justify this? The other 2 are regular price? Damn midtown in the spec game hard now I see.

They cancel on me again Iā€™m taking some harder action.
