Rants etc.....

my INIU 15w Wireless Charger died in the middle of charging my Pixel 9 Pro XL today. I started a warranty claim on their website and it asked for proof of purchase, so I generated a PDF of my Amazon order and their tool won't accept PDF copies...gives an invalid file type error. I took a screenshot of it instead, saved as a PNG and it was fine with that. wth?!?!?

Pdfs are a disastrous spec to be honest. Pdf 2.0 is already like 10 years old but the amount of tools that make 1.3-1.5 speced pdfs is ridiculous. 1.3 is basically 20 years old

Memory Express seems to be especially bad for this.... they'll be having a GPU promotion and 9 out of 10 products listed in the promotion will be OOS immediately upon receiving the email.

An important note with MemEx is region availability. They will not ship out of any location only one of the Calgary locations fulfills the online orders (Calgary North I think it was). So every single location could have 10+ but that one location and they won't fulfill the online order. Even living in Edmonton if I ordered it online to ship to my house it would ship from Calgary. And I don't think they will ship for pickup either IIRC. Ie I can't just pay to have inventory to be moved from one store to another for pickup.

I think CC is essentially the same, although I don't know where their online stock warehouse resides. They've often got store stock but zero "online" stock so they obviously don't pull store stock to ship out.
 
Something just happened today that made me wish that delivery drivers were a little more aware. Working from home today as I'm expecting things like Epcor to show up (installing new smart water meter, they no longer need to enter my yard to take readings). Also expecting the laser to show up from Creality any day now so i didn't question them asking me to sign for a close to appropriately sized box...

Turns out after scribbling my illegible signature on their little pad they just handed me the box and like usual no ID check or anything like that. Its a bit heavier than I was expecting and lack of Creality branding on the box started to question the delivery... read the label and they basically just mis-delivered a ~$2000 range computer (estemated based on what the label says). Would think something in that value range they would pay a little more attention.

When I'm done working for the day I'll go meet whoever my somewhat close neighbor is. House number is off by a single digit placing them only a road over.

Actually instead of dropping it off called the delivery company to report it. Didn't want to risk having it claimed that I stole it or didn't actually hand it over etc to the actual recipient especially considering the package value. That whole legal liability and such.
 
Congrats on the free PC? If it was your next door neighbour, probably would be fine to take it over since I'd presume you have some relationship. A whole street though... they probably already reported it missing after seeing it was delivered.

Usually they at least say your name/ask for your name, but I've noticed my latest UPS driver doesn't even do that. Just hands me the box and the phone to sign on, sounds like the same sort of interaction you had lol
