This is actually one of the reasons I have stuck with Sample Society, even for the few months when they were really scraping the bottom of the sample barrel, before _Allure_ stepped in. I have never waited more than two days for any given shipment. Compared to Ipsy, it's like sending a text versus a carrier pigeon.
What's the Bills/Bon Jovi problem? I mean, I understand banning a band or musician because they support the wrong team (I felt like I was betraying my beloved Blazers when I listened to the Red Hot Chili Peppers because of their song about the Lakers until I discovered that the lead singer was a regular fixture up here at Blazer games. It turns out his dad lives/lived here, so he would come up to go to games with his dad and became a fan), but I don't know enough about either the Bills or Jon Bon Jovi to know what the problem is.
But Sample Society requires a signature to leave the package though, I thought?
That's horrible. You should request signature only delivery, or else ask them to leave where USPS does?
Sample Society doesn't require a signature, my guy rings the doorbell and leaves it there.
You're right. My delivery driver is extra careful, too many missing packages on their routes and they can get in trouble. But they're also punished if they're too slow.
It is widely believed in the area the Bon Jovi's intention is to move the team to Toronto, where there are more corporate clients who will pay bigger money for luxury seats. When the Bills' owner, Ralph Wilson, died several months ago, it was stipulated in his will that whomever buys the team must keep it in or near the Buffalo area--so a move to Niagara Falls would not be technically against the Wilsons' wishes, but Toronto is definitely a no-go. Bon Jovi has Canadian partners who were said to be investigating stadium properties. A campaign started where businesses (mostly bars) put up signs saying their establishments were Bon Jovi-free zones--a guy tried singing "Living on a Prayer" at karaoke last week and got resoundingly booed.
Because I have the tiniest mailbox in the history of mailboxes (I live in an apartment) so if it doesn't fit, they just write up a slip and I go pick it up at the PO. Mostly everything I buy online goes through them, including all of my other current beauty subs. I'm on a first name basis with everyone who works there. When I walk in, they just go straight to the back and grab my packages. Not sure if this is a good thing or not.
Oh, I see. Been there, done that, but I never had anyone steal my stuff!!! That is beyond pathetic. I'd be reporting all the rude UPS employees at the pick-up place, too. NO excuses whatsoever for that. I have always had extremely helpful and polite UPS peeps,and I think they hold their employees to very high standards, so I'd darn sure let someone know about that. It's causing them to lose your business! And it sounds like you ( like me!) generate lots of business! :lol:
I hear you...in 1978 the guy who owned Kentucky Fried Chicken bought the Buffalo Braves basketball team, and ended up getting involved in a deal that moved them to California. All of a sudden KFC's were closing down in the area; Buffalo had effectively boycotted them. It wasn't until the 90's that you saw them opening up here again, and still some old-timers, including Louie, refuse to eat there although the Browns no longer own the chain.
Brights are notorious for dull finishes, even if they're not straight-up neons. They pretty much require top coat. Also, try a coat or two of white under it. That will help the color pop (and possibly stab your eyes out).
Yep my essie I'm addicted is a bright blue but super dull finish. I didn't use a topcoat to spare my co-workers.
