Title: Variety Jones battles the influenza virus and wins, plus Post Office shenanigans
Post by: Variety Jones on February 20, 2012, 01:56 pm
Talk about a lousy week.

As noted in my profile, for most of last week I was very ill and not processing orders and responding to PMs in a timely manner. I'm happy to  report that I'm currently back at the grindstone, and all orders and PMs are current.

However, because $Deity has a sense of humour, I also had 7 items returned by the Post Office that were mailed either Saturday 11 Feb, or Monday 13 Feb. (I use several valid return addresses for sending out seeds, and got the returned items this morning, 20 Feb.) The reason they were returned was they had what looks like fucking olive oil spilled all over them from some idiots leaking parcel. They were deemed unfit (and trust me, they were unfit) to be processed, and returned to me in a plastic bag. (The oil smeared the postmarks - the note from the Post Office said they were mailed either Sat or Mon.)

Fortunately, the contents were fine because I vac seal my orders for extra peace of mind.

Unfortunately, I don't know which 7 clients the orders are for. I made out the addresses and replaced the packaging and re-sent them, but I have no way of knowing which order matches up with which client, as I don't keep any records of addresses. If you had an order shipped on last Saturday or Monday, it MAY have been affected, and hence late in being delivered.

Please, any clients with any concerns, feel free to drop me a PM.

From VJ:
"29 February 2012: Always willing to go the extra mile in all things I do, after battling the flu for the last two weeks I thought it was time to investigate the wonderful world of pneumonia. My thorough plan includes a hospital stay for maximum value for illness tourism dollar, and as such it's most likely going to be close to the 10-15 Feb mark or so before I'm going to be able to get back online. Every attempt will be made to post any changes to that possible return date.

"Unfortunately that means that some people, particularly some people who had large orders that were split in multiple mailings, are not going to get their orders on time. I want you to know that upon my return my first priority will be to both ship any outstanding orders, as well as refund 75% to anyone who has had to wait.

"I've authorized Customer Service at the main site to transfer refund payments to anyone who has an issue as a result of my recent illness and current absence. I put my faith in my clients to be honest about their needs, and the Customer Service will accommodate any refund requests that seem valid. I'll attempt to check in at least briefly by email with them every few days.

"Hope to see you all soon.

"Variety Jones"

Let's send lots of love to VJ, and wish a speedy recovery.
