The "Postman Brought Me" Thread

Recommended Posts

Lol !

first delivery was Parcel Force van

second was a neighbour bringing what they took in for me yesterday, perhaps not strictly todays delivery ;)

third was the normal postie , he does anything too big for the letterbox in a van early morning

fourth delivery was the postie again doing his normal letters round on foot

In fairnes i can't knock my local service - they even allow me to do a same day collection just before the depot closes at 17:30hrs if they leave a calling card, when in theory i should wait to the next day.

That is exceptional service... I like the same day pickup option, wish I had that because the post office is very convenient to my house.

TBH I'm thinking about using their pickup only service - nothing (packages) gets delivered but you get an email and can collect same day. Given my delivery ratio is below 50% and the local PO is open till 6pm, this may work out better...

How about a scanner?

Actually, I saw Wyoming's Bruiser in an issue of RC Driver - March 2013. I remember being excited for a fellow TC member when I saw it, not to mention awestruck by the quality of the build.

Looks like a number of TC members are having their work showcased; still looking out for Skottoman's VW Samba Van in VolksWorld!

More on topic: nothing arrived yet, but I recently bought an MTroniks Sport 20 ESC; I found out I fried my Avante's TEU-104BK after a snow run... It shall arrive soon, at which point I can write in this thread again.

Dude, how many times a day does your postie visit? It seems he has a full time job with your address alone! :blink:

Today I received another "come and get it" notice - the thing is, tomorrow I'm working from home... and I'm expecting another package. So here's what will happen; I'll receive nothing in the morning, then I'll go to the post office after 1pm as required, this will take 15 mins max to return home, upon returning home I'll find another "come and get it" notice for after 1pm the next day... cycle continues...

Of course if I delay my visit to the post office the inevitable will happen.

And yep, I need all packages to start the job... :(

Astonishingly this almost happened. It was odd actually because 30 mins after I checked my mailbox (nothing) I left to go to the Post Office and an new 'missed you' notice was in my mailbox! We have an intercom system and it didn't go off at all - funny thing is that it was in my internal mailbox so somebody in the building had already transferred it there... strange.

However, I opened the front door and the postman was just down the road and was happy to give me today's parcel, then I wandered to the post office and picked up yesterday's parcel. Now I can start... :)

More Madcap parts arrived today :) Also received all the parts I need to build a TTC drive-train for my Kingcab.:D

Picked up all the TTC parts for a little over $50aus, not bad since the nib kits are going for $200+. I already have the screws, press nuts & mounting bars.

I'd also like to thank Percymon for helping me find some Madcap D parts, Thanks mate :)
