    In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Hey guys/gals,
I have a customer in Alabama (I'm in FL) who placed an order recently. Now with Christmas coming up next week and me going out of town, I told him I wouldn't be able to ship until the 29th. Now are there any after holiday shipping issues for FedEx? Should I wait until after New Years to ship?

I'm not worried about using heat packs, I've done it a couple times and have a large volume shipper who I can get advice from. I'm just worried about potential delays, mishaps for being the end of the holiday season.
 
I wait until the week after New Year's to resume shipping. People are generally pretty understanding about it.
 
I agree with Debbie. I won't ship until the 2nd week in January to get past the holiday shipping hump which can generally result in a higher chance in delayed/lost packages.
 
Thanks, I'll do the same then and let my customer know.
