How to loose 200 euro like a pro 😎

Story time, I guess, because this whole situation pisses me off.

So around Christmas last year (2023), I got some cash from my family for a gift. I decided I wanted to buy a set of books that I needed, so I just ordered them straight away. I purchased them on eBay. Now, I have purchased items from eBay around this time previously, so i knew it took more time to ship, I was okay with that, and have never had problems. However, the seller contacted me, saying there were issues with shipment and just returned my money. This is not technically relevant, but I found it funny - as if the cosmos was telling me to not buy these books.

Now the true story begins - I found another seller, selling the same set of books for the same money, so I just ordered them. This happened on Dec 28, again from eBay. I waited, knowing it took quite some time to ship when ordering around these dates. But it was getting near the end of January, so I was a little bit worried. Around this time I had ordered another book (from a different seller) and they messaged me, saying that it could take some time before it ships, as there were issues in general with international shipping. Both this seller and the one with the book set were based in Japan, so I assumed this was why it took so ridiculously long. Back to the main shipment - the book set was shipped, finally, near the END OF FEBRUARY. The packaging I mentioned before? I don't even remember, maybe I already had it! Now I just had to wait a bit more for my book set to be delivered. The waiting was almost over... OR WAS IT?!?

Somewhere around the middle of March I decided to try tracking where the package was. And I found out it was stuck - in customs.

And here goes another story:

This has happened before. In 2023, somewhere around October, I ordered a small item as a gift. I waited for it to arrive, only to find it was stuck in customs. I thought that I just had to wait for them to release it, this was the first time I've had an item stuck in customs, so I didn't really know what the order of things was. A month later I found a letter at my door - just a piece of paper, laying on the ground. It was a document, which allowed the Bulgarian Posts to represent me in customs (since they were the ones that had to deliver my packaging). And that was it - the item was released, all was well. So I thought this was the norm - if there was an issue with customs, the delivery company could ask for permission to represent me.

Back on the main story again. So when I saw that the package was in customs, I didn't think much of it. I thought the same thing would happen as the previous time I had an item stuck in customs. This package was shipped with FedEx, it was the first time I've had a packaging shipped with them. Around that time the eBay return window was getting close to it's end. I wasn't sure If i should wait, or just return them. Something was odd. I waited regardless and the return period expired on March 30. On April 4 I saw that the package was finally moving! Yay! So the issue had been resolved then, I thought.

On the 12th of April, near midnight, I got an email stating that the package was unable to be delivered and was being returned to seller.

...WHAT?!? I was FUMING! What do you mean unable to ship? Mind you, it was night and I couldn't call straight way, not only that but I had to wait till the weekend was over! I was pissed, PISSED! The package stayed in customs for less than a month, no one contacted me what so ever. How was I meant to know? They had my address, my phone number on that package, and no one called, no one send me an SMS, no one put a piece of paper in front of my door. I tried looking trough my calls, but found nothing resembling any of the numbers that might have been from FedEx or customs. And you know what - maybe they did call. The thing is - how would I know? I get random calls from strange numbers, why would I answer them all? (My parents told me not to answer to unknown numbers as a child, and I still stand by that, a little silly, I know.) And besides, if they did call and I didn't answer, there were still other ways to contact me. I was furious.

Monday comes, I try to contact whoever I can, nothing happened, obviously. I had written to the seller about the situation in Saturday, asking if they could re-ship my package again, or if they can return my money - nothing so far and I don't think there will ever be anything. They're not obligated to do anything now, since the eBay return window expired while waiting for shipment. Which leads me to another question - what took so bloody long? Normally the return window is WAYYY ahead in time than the estimated delivery date. I have never waited for a package so long that the return window expired. What in the world had happened? And you know the funny part? The package got returned to the seller for 4 days. 4 DAYS! I WAITED 4 MONTHS AND IT GOT SHIPPED BACK FOR 4 DAYS? IS THIS A JOKE?!

Now I can't stop thinking on what I could have done differently, maybe I should have just called the customs straight away, maybe I should have called FedEx (which proved to be a challenge), maybe I should have just returned the damn books. The item from October 2023 - it stayed in customs for around a month and I still got contacted and the issue resolved. This package - stayed in customs for less than half a month, no contact with me, straight to seller. Just... This whole thing could have been resolved so easily with proper contact, and yet it wasn't. I like to trash on Bulgarian Posts for not properly informing me on packages sometimes, but they do regardless. And coming in contact with them is very easy. And - I have not had a single package be returned to seller from them (at least yet). Damn, can't believe I'm actually being somewhat nice to them, you know it's bad when I'm praising them for somewhat doing their job.

At this point, I don't think anything can be done, the money are gone, the books are gone. And I think this will haunt me for the rest of my days. But, regardless, I did learn a few thins (wish it hadn't cost me 200 bloody euros):

don't order if shipped with FedEx - they might be great otherwise, but after this I don't think I will take the risk. They could have done more, and even if they couldn't it still quite bad, also properly contacting them is a pain.

just call customs when they stop your package - When I see the package has been stopped, I will just try my best to contact them directly. Praying I can track said package to see it has been stopped, otherwise RIP I guess.

if item is reaching the eBay return window deadline - just return it - if it ever again takes this long to ship and "deliver" an item, I don't think I will be risking it again.

don't order at the end of the year - although as I stated, I have done this before and I've had no such issues prior to this, I think after this mess I will just be waiting around the middle/end of January.

do as much as you can yourself - others will most likely fail you, not do their jobs properly, disappoint you, so just do it yourself.

Oh, wow, this was long. I don't expect anything positive to happen with this situation anymore, I just wanted to write it down and get it out of my system. Also, maybe to laugh a bit - the whole thing is so ridiculous - a convenience after convenience after convenience - conveniences in inconveniencing me. Well, anyway, I curse everything that made it happen so I lost my books and money to stub their toes everyday for 4 months.

And I'm sorry if I was too rude in any of this (even though I just cursed a bunch of unknown entities to stub their toes). My anger is not directed towards anyone in particular (somewhat of a lie) - just the situation. It could have been resolved so easily, and that's what truly annoys me. Well, that's it for now, I guess. Wonder if anyone will even read this bloody mess. Hah.

Fluttershy's just being a little silly. 🤭

This was based on gooble96's (gooble) MLP Infection AU "My Little Abomination".

So what happened was I stumbled upon a reading of the AU and decided to watch it, and the first line was Rarity asking "Darling? Are you in here?", after which I immediately said "Fluttershy, it's time for your estrogen pills." I don't really know what possessed me to say it, but it was quite funny so I made a comic about it.

I need to stop staying awake 'till 3 am, by brain goes to strange places then.

A little note - I just realized that the International Transgender Day of Visibility was on the 31th of March, which was one day before this post. And since this post is kinda, you know - *insert IKEA shark here*, I just wanted to say happy late day of trans visibility!

Thank you @rubecularum-res and everyone who got me to 250 reblogs!

Bloody hell, this is mad. Thank you everyone!

Are you feeling numb inside? Perhaps you've fallen inside the black and cannot get out. Well, no worries, for this epic anomalocaris design has got you covered! It will bring you back to life and make you feel awake and alive! Now you'll never be alone, for this design will protect you from the whispers in the dark and will save you from your demons. You can buy your very own Anomalocaris - Extinct shirt now from HERE (also second design HERE). Or, if you're on a budget, you can buy this epic anomalocaris sticker HERE (second design HERE).

(Yes this is another shameless self-promotion, someone's gotta do it and I have no one else :_:)

This was inspired by THIS video - it got randomly recommended to me one night and I decided to watch it. Once I saw the title and the date I knew what I was getting myself into, but nothing, NOTHING, could have prepared me for the music. It brought back so many memories of when I was young and I would watch Princess Luna|Nightmare Moon PMVs with "edgy" music. Ah, I miss those days.

The whole MLP Infection AU thing has been an absolute blast from the past, didn't believe I could still get scared from spooky pony images. I even had a nightmare of Queen Chrysalis from Pestraobia (by osushat) chasing me lol, it was absolutely terrifying. Anyways, I wanted to draw two of my favorite interpretations together for giggles - The Weed Virus (by funkypuff_) and the Everfree Infection AU (by mrsgendered).

So... I did a thing. I made my first ever merch design and it's quite... unique. So now I'm promoting it:

"Are you tired of being a lame, stanky a$$ h#e? Well, look no further, for this design has got you covered! With this William Afton shirt on, you can slay them h#e$ like he slayed them kids, perioddd! He served c#*t so hard, every building he was in caught on fire. And with this shirt on, you can do it too! Buy it now for only 19.87 (not really), so you can stuff them h#e$, or get stuffed yourself 😳."

I'm so sorry for this... Anyways, here's the link - https://www.redbubble.com/shop/ap/155137190?asc=u

Let's, uhh, let's not talk about this too much, okay?

What a glow-up✨

So, I found this fossil, this absolute relic of a drawing, part of the very first drawings I made with a graphic tablet.

All of them unfortunately got corrupted and erased, all but one. This one, the very first drawing I made using a tablet. It's always nice to go back trough your own drawings, makes you realize how far you've come and how far you can go yet.

Ah, I'm old...

So, umm...

When the first season of Good Omens came out I remember absolutely ADORING the memes, but couldn't really get into watching the show for myself.

A few years forward I learned there is a new season to Good Omens and decided it was finally time to watch the original+the new one. I stayed up to 6 am for two days, watching both seasons, and learned two things:

First - younger me was too stoopid to understand the genius of Good Omens

Second - I need therapy, what was that bloody ending?!

Don't take me wrong, I absolutely loved every second of the new season, but also... That ending... That ending broke me. Hopefully there will be a third season OR I WILL CURSE GOD-

PS: I have successfully tempted my friend into watching both seasons with me and they are now obsessed with the series. At the end of season 2 we stayed up for 3 hours, sending each other either memes or art of Aziraphale and Crowley kissing, it was great.

This is utter rubbish. So allow me to try and explain - while I was fighting Primordial Malzeno I realized how buffed up it appeared in comparison to the regular one. So I started joking around how the Qurio diet ruined it's gain. Hence these monstrosities. It was funnier in my head not gonna lie.
