shitty situation
8 years ago
if you need to contact me about anything at all, dont hesitate to note me. i'll try to get back to you ASAP
I've been here since the beginning of October. I was under the assumption that I would be getting my things that we shipped from our apartment around a week after we moved in.
Turns out that wasn't going to be the case. Turns out there was never an actual plan to get it.
We were told to have it shipped via Ubox to Washington because it would be cheaper by thousands of dollars than shipping it to Vancouver. We were told we could go pick it up since the location is about an hour away.
Turns out there's no one who can take us. I can't drive because of medical reasons. My fiance doesn't have a license. And I don't want to wait until he gets one. We were promised that we could be taken there.
My computer is in Washington. Everything I own that isn't my garbage fucking laptop (that's over 5+ years old, can't even run card games, barely can run chat programs, no way it'll run art programs. Plus I don't have any of my art files anyway) and my Switch.
I need my stuff. I need my computer to do work. I'm frustrated because for the last few months I have been told: "We'll get it this week!" "We'll get it this week!". Promise after promise broken and it's left me unsure what to do. I don't know anyone here and everyone that my fiance's mom knows doesn't have a passport. In addition, I'm stuck paying for storage for my things. Yeah, I'm paying for NOT HAVING MY STUFF
I'm really fucking annoyed, I'm stressed as fuck. I'm upset because I keep telling my commissioners that I'll have my stuff soon. I'm stressed because I want to get things done. But this isn't something I have control over. I don't know when I'm going to get my stuff anymore.
I'm going to start refunding people next month. I would do it this month but I need to go see my family for the holidays. I hope you guys can understand. Thank you so much, and I'm sorry for the trouble. I don't mean to have everyone deal with this, I don't know what to do myself. I'm sorry for the way this all went.
If it comes to it, if there's anyone in the Vancouver/Richmond BC area or the Bellingham/Seattle WA area who has a passport and could tow two Uboxes, I'd be beyond thankful if you could come help me somehow. We're in the Richmond area and my stuff is in Bellingham. We would be able to pay you, and we'll rent the truck.

I appreciate the people who have been okay with waiting. But even I feel bad and know that isn't fair to them. They deserve better. And if I can't provide that, then I believe they should absolutely be compensated in some way. Either by a refund or giving them their art if they still want it. But in this situation, I have no control over the latter. So I think the fairest case is to talk it over and give them their money back.
Gosh I have never worked with Ubox but you'd think they'd be able to help. How much would it cost to send the box to you right now? don't they drop it off? :c I know its probably not that simple.
Keep us updated, yeah?
