$100,000 for Ringo. This one is so hard to draw.
Well, Iām slightly merry tonight.
My old fav, several glasses of wine, have helped/hindered my input on āSWDBāā¦I hope it has helped someone.
I decided to re-visit 'Jeremy Fablesā and hopefully improved on a previous post.
Plus, I wrote another āJeremy Fableā about bounty-hunters.
I donāt know if the Fables are any good, but I get a lot of enjoyment from writing them.

Anyway; I almost started the year by losing my very best friend - she fell down my stairs and ended up in a pool of blood by her head, having gone head-first from the top step to the bottom.
Sheās okay now, and almost back to her self, apart from occasional dizzy spells, but itās given me a serious wake-up call as to how quickly things in life can change in a matter of seconds.
That shook me up, big timeā¦
Sheās the best friend in my lifeā¦and I thought Iād lost her.
In other words, donāt take every second for grantedā¦things can change in the blink of an eye.
Seriouslyā¦every day love loved ones more and moreā¦

Good information. 
Speaking of their quality controlā¦That still bugs me about the spine pictures on the Vengeance Trails set. Did they ever make replacement covers available??

My mom finally got to live one of her dreams and spent two weeks in Australia, Tasmania, and New Zealand. Very proud of her for going.
One of the souvenirs she brought back was an authentic Australian dollar

Anyone else having issues with Amazon.co.uk deliveries lately? Recently, Iāve had some minor damages, but today, DPD wonāt even deliver my parcel because itās too damaged.
Iāve been ordering from Amazon UK for more than a decade now, but this is the first time Iāve had so many incidents in such a short time frame.
The package contained 3 Eureka Blu-Rays. Should I order from their website directly instead?
I think this is a problem with Amazon across the globe. I live in the U.S. and they use very little, if any, protection anymore in their shipping. Awhile back, I ordered a blu-ray box set of the original Twilight Zone series, and they just tossed it into an empty box without any protection. The case came cracked, so I returned and ordered another. Second one was broken as well. The third one arrived undamaged, but they did not pack it any better, so was just lucky to get it intact. I have had better luck with single DVDās, because they usually have those in a bubble mailer, but anything that needs to go in a box is likely to be packed poorly. Iāve been ordering most of my box sets from sellers on ebay since, whom I can contact easily to request an extra bit of padding and they usually accommodate.
I also order direct from the companies as well. Should have mentioned that. Have had no problems thus far with Arrow, Cauldron, and others.
Very few complains with them (Germany) but the fact that free Prime delivery and fast logistics (where I live some stuff comes overnight and most orders are delivered by Amazonās own trucks) comes at a price and thatās cheap labor exploitation and cost cutting should come at no surpriseā¦
Thanks for replying, at least Iām not alone here with this issue. From now on, I will think twice before buying from Amazon.
I just bought the same 3 Blu-Rays from Eurekaās website. Fingers crossed they arrive safe and sound.

Amazon is awful at packaging. A couple of years ago Amazon UK and Germany nearly always shipped in somewhat sturdy boxes but the last couple of years they have become terrible. They save on package fillers and their boxes seems to be made from some material that deterioate when in contact with air. Iāve had a package come from them not many months ago that was ripped totally apart when it showed up and the mail man asked us if it was all there. It was, strangely enough but so was stuff we hadnāt ordered. Just spilled over from some other broken Amazon box I would guess.
If I need something to turn up in somewhat mint condition I will order from everywhere but Amazon. They simply do not seem to care anymore.
Amazon US has always been terrible. Have had bools sent to me in Denmark that were shipped in plain brown unpadded unbubbled envelopes.
And this is direct Amazon orders Iām talking about not third party sellers doing their own shipping.

The story continuesā¦
Today, DPD decided to deliver my order after all. They put it in a different box.
I just opened it, and it seems none of the items are damaged.
The thing is, Amazon already refunded everything. Should I tell them? Or should I send the items back?
I also just sent an email to Eureka to cancel my order.
Up to you on that one. Not sure if this is something that hurts Amazon or the disc manufacturers or both, but if they told you it was damaged and could not be delivered, sounds like a mistake on their end led to the confusion. Contacting Amazon to correct the issue might also be a difficult task. I doubt there is any automated area to click on for this type of mistake and Amazonās customer service is almost entirely automated these days. Maybe itād be easier where you live to contact a live agent, but I have found it difficult to contact them. Last month, my wife received someone elseās order of an article of clothing in one of her packages and tried to contact Amazon to get it back to them, but could not find a way to contact customer service directly to explain. Without recourse, sheāll probably just end up donating it.
