Five.

As in Cat 5

I’d use Canada Post, except they won’t ship products internationally that contain a lipo. UPS wasn’t my first choice =(

Yeah, this thread has me reconsidering and thinking I should just embed the cost in shipping.

Those 2% were covered by the 3rd party insurance, and I send out replacements right away instead of waiting for the insurance to do their thing.

Yep you’re well within your right to do a chargeback and I’d probably have to eat the loss, but I’m not willing to ship a replacement in that case either. The insurance would ensure you get the product at the end.

In which case that’s bundled into the shipping cost, so you’re paying it either way at the end of the day. I could just not offer and pad the shipping rates, but opted to give my customers the choice. So far I haven’t had anyone who opted out, lose a package. Those likely to lose them, know already that their local ups is sus.

Given the small fee in ops screenshot, most likely. We don’t know who their shipper is.

My understanding is trying to get reimbursed by ups is also a time consuming headache. They make you wait a while, need evidence, etc etc etc. I can just ship a replacement right away and as long as the original package stays lost, I don’t have to worry about not being reimbursed.

Also ups sucks so much I’d rather give that insurance money to someone other than them. I don’t understand how ups can lose packages that are being held at a store for pickup, unless their employees steal them.

Only up to a smallish amount, it’s been a few years but i think it was like $100 cad

For people asking what this is - for my small biz, adding insurance via ups would be about $25 per package, and 3rd party protection is about $11. I don’t make any money off this, it’s strictly to cover lost / damaged shipments.

I offer default protection on during checkout but call it out in a big obvious box, and warn that if you remove it and the package is lost then you’re out of luck. Most people leave it on, and I have about a 2% package loss rate (thanks ups) that has all been covered so far.

If I didn’t offer it via 3rd party then that $25 would be rolled into the shipping cost, so the customer is forced to pay. This way they get the option, and it saves them money.

I wish more companies would just be up front about it though, it feels deceptive when they shove it in without explaining why.

Briefly for GPUs, yes. I picked up a 5080 at the end of last year for msrp.

Most bacon bits aren’t actually meat, they’re soy protein.

Yes, ordered something and returned it after it didn’t quite meet my needs. Experience was fine.

Lemmy or LinkedIn. Facebook I long ago unfriended anyone crazy. Instagram I only have my dogs account and he just follows other dogs, so it’s quite nice.

The sending and receiving servers both have the message in plain text, so you can view them directly in the db.

Not really worth it unless you’re downloading attachments from spam emails or sketchy websites. It’s pretty dated tech - old school AV definitions, but there’s nothing better that’s free afaik

If anyone could, nilered could.

Anything that uses zigbee / threads

Don’t put another tabbed battery in, put a cr2025 slot in there so you can replace them more easily in future.

Prey.

Unfortunately not really. I use a framework as my day to day and offload builds to a Macbook pro.

Maybe, look into software defined radio
