Software companies have been releasing buggy software for two decades, letting end-users troubleshoot the problems for them, where the make all the bug fixes and push an update.

Sadly, this book is famously only collected for the story on pages 9, 10 and 11. You might as well crack the thing out and send it to me.   

 

@Point Five What is the notoriety behind the book? 

In! 

Well, 2 bullseye's, ... and 3 out-to-lunch's  

If @JohnH19 is in, then so am I!  (please).

Missed the deadline for this round. Next time Gadget, next time...

In … so much pain.

Didn't have an opportunity to send an email until Friday June 30th but given that CGC was closed on July 3rd and 4th, it was processed super-quickly and I got my $80US credit back on the CC today. 

Thank you to the Accounting Team and Customer Service!

You have to be joking right?

100$ US to ship 6-10 books to Canada.. at the current exchange rate that is like 130$ Canadian. 

So you add an extra 20$ per book .. holy frijoles! 
I will check how much to ship from a redirect instead as the Domestic shipping is much lower. 

 

Sure, let me know.

I was looking at the rates for shipping, does the 100$ fee for shipping to an address in Canada cover all the costs? 

I recently had ordered a book from Ebay in the US and FedEx charged me 25$ customs/duty fee, is there a way to 
ensure that this does not occur?
I noticed someone mentioning to use this phrase on the packing slip or submission form. 

Canadian goods being returned, shipped to US for grading purposes only
Is there any specific to use as to ensure that this is prominent on the return packaging? Or is it not necessary and 
some other process is used currently.  As for the cost the invoice is in US dollars with the current exchange rate 
it would add an additional 30% to the overall costs of using the service as a whole including the return shipping.

 

I'm in Winnipeg. When I send books down to CGC, I use Fedex and I fill out a Commercial Invoice indicating it's a non-sale shipment, with similar language to your example: "Will be returned after evaluation"

I've made 15 submissions so far and haven't yet (  ) been charged by Canadian Customs on the Fedex return shipments. (oh boy, that's the kiss of death) 

CGC shipping documentation or package marking doesn't include any such reference as to how/when/why the books were originally imported into the US. I wouldn't expect it to.

Advice from the Boards I remember reading a while ago was to keep your copies of the Commercial Invoice for your shipments. If Fedex charges you for Customs/Brokerage fees, you can make the argument as to the reason for the original importation.

Hope this helps

And Yes! They both came! The return shipping label and the credit card charge.

Is there any way to get around having to sign for a low value package from CGC? Seems it should be up to me if I want to take the risk. I have security cameras and sometimes they take a picture and send to me when packages are delivered. I took off today for a delivery and now it has been changed until tomorrow, for somee unknown reason, so I will miss it or have to take another day off. Frustrating..... 

I have many more in the works and not enough free days to cover them. I don't want it delivered to a hub because they are not close to my house.

I saw this at the Fedex Canada site.. Seems like they are adding new features to their "Manage Deliveries" offering.

That's what I got. I took it to mean bad things, but maybe he just buys the emojis in bulk? 

Ditto.... on the emoji received, and the interpretation.

Grades In, fwiw.

thanks for your hard work running this Mike!
