DON'T PANIC


I am really not sure why people are assuming their DVD mailer was lost in the mail or their DVD hasn't been sent to them. Here's a little review.

If you sent me your mailer on, say, 1/22 (3 days after I made the offer), well, I didn't even see it (assuming it made it here to Long Beach) until 2/1 because (as I posted on this board) I was out of town from 1/24 to 1/30. 2/1 was a Wednesday, not even a week ago. As of the 24th (when I left town for a week) I had not received ANY mailers yet.

That means that if you sent me a mailer I didn't even put it IN THE MAILBOX until 2/1 at the earliest, which likely means it was not picked up by a mail carrier until Thursday 2/2. So that means (as of today 2/6) you have given it only four business days to get to you and have assumed if it has not, it is now lost in the mail.

The post office will tell you that first class is generally 2-3 business days but they do not guarantee it. Books and other parcels take a good deal longer unless you priority mail them etc. etc.

In other words it will probably take at LEAST 4 days and probably more for your DVD to get to you. Let's say 4 days to get to me and one day turnaround and four days to get back to you, with a Sunday thrown in there for good measure is at LEAST 9 days before you could reasonably expect to have it. Less is just lucky, 10 days is pushing it and I would say only after 14 days or more would I be seriously doubting its safe arrival.

Add in to all this the week your mailer no doubt languished in my mailbox while I was away for a week.

I am not in the business of DVD distribution so I am not going to send out email confirmations for getting your mailer. To be honest this whole simple transaction has started to become a pain in my rear end because some folks aren't just thinking clearly, and using common sense. Send me your mailer, it will get sent back to you but it might take a few days longer than you are hoping. In the RARE instances that the USPS loses a package (like, you haven't seen anything in 2 weeks or more), email me at [email protected] and we can try again. If you already panicked and sent me a second mailer, I will send you another DVD so it isn't a total waste.

In short, please, you must chill.
