Late Delivery on a Cold Night...

[brightleaf]

I'll take free shipping over same day delivery every time. I don't have the funds to pay for first class service, nor do I feel like I am less than for it. You can lube up if you want, but my reality is more raw. I don't need crawling servants or a validated sense of entitlement to feel like my business is appreciated.

How did those tins get to the retailer? On a truck. An non-insulated truck.
I have a couple tins that stay in my car's glovebox. They freeze, they thaw, they still smoke just fine.
Don't worry, enjoy.

:clap:

 

[jaytex1969]

When a tin freezes, it causes the dreaded Frosted Leaf Eater mite eggs to hatch.
They will begin devouring your tobacco and producing a flatulence that will swell the tins into ferocious bomblets, waiting to destroy your home with the force of 2 pounds of TNT per tin.
If the seal breaches before the pressure reaches the explosive stage, your home will need total gutting and refurbishment to get the FLE fart aroma out. Makes skunks smell like Lakeland tobacco employees.
As they are already hatching, we have no time to lose. They are already eating your cellar.
Send the tins to me. I have the proper radiation machine to neutralize the mites. If we act fast, they will have only eaten half of the contents by the time I irradiate them and return them to you.
Better you should get the half empty tins back from me than chance the biological consequences of further delay...
:nana:

I think brightleaf said it best....smoke away

 

[popeofpiping]

For sure don't throw it out!

 

[jpmcwjr]

Hmmm- now wondering if freezing tobacco will kill mold? Uh, what mold he said?!

 

[woodsroad]

"Makes skunks smell like Lakeland tobacco employees."

Yeah, and?

I don't need crawling servants or a validated sense of entitlement to feel like my business is appreciated.

Asking that things be done right is not a quest for validation. If that upsets you... that's for your therapist to help you with.

 

[brightleaf]

I am not afraid to stand by what I think is right, but it requires understanding the big picture. If you do not read your contracts, or know the rules, then you cannot rightly complain when things don't go as you expect. I agree that asking for things to be corrected when a mistake is made is good practice, but being whiny and acting like the world owes you something only brings trouble.

 

[5star]

I set up tracking on my computer and mobile devices and watch them like a hawk when an important package is incoming. This has proven almost 100% effective with UPS and FedEx. The USPS tracking has been less reliable; their tracking is down more often than the other two. But even with USPS, if a package has been delivered to our rural mailbox or porch, there’s a 90%+ chance that I would be alerted to that fact.

 

[deathmetal]

I agree that asking for things to be corrected when a mistake is made is good practice, but being whiny and acting like the world owes you something only brings trouble.

We agree heartily here. I second what 5star said, which is that the online trackers are invaluable. But really, I just like posting the AstroGlide link here for all the Apple users.

 

[PaulTheScandinavian]

During the past few years due layouts and redirections in our national Postal branch,we'were staring to get our Daily mail' between-2-4pm or even later,then they seemingly facing some invincible trubles in sorting parcels from overseas, so to say,all goes smooth and easily and relatively quick till the moment parcels reaches the bondaries of our country(Finland)

Late delivery on a cold night....

And here I thought that this thread was going to be about the story of Christmas!

 

[brightleaf]

Don't forget to leave a plate of warm oatmeal raisin cookies and a cold glass of milk.

 

[huntertrw]

Leave out the raisins, or you'll get coal in your stocking!

 

[The Pipe Professor]

Funny, because I know of several high end cuban cigar collectors who freeze each box they purchase to kill any cigar beetles that may have nested in the tobacco. If cigars can take the cold I don't see why pipe tobacco would be completely damaged from a few hours of cold temperature exposure.....I think the difference in opinion and perspective is quite fascinating. For me, I would attempt to keep my tins out of the weather elements. No science behind this position, just don't want popsicle pipe tobacco. Cheers all!

 

[derekflint]

Can you believe the same thing happened again tonight ? I had a shipment from SP coming in tomorrow ( FRIDAY 29TH ) as per the USPS. But at about 4PM today my wife see's a box sitting on the front porch. It was only there for about a half hour because she looked out a half hour before that and nothing was there. But if she didn't see it, it might have sat out there all night again like the last time. It's only 10 degrees out !! Meanwhile they sent no notification that they delivered it . No e-mail.... nothing !!

 

[unkleyoda]

I have a couple tins that stay in my car's glovebox. They freeze, they thaw, they still smoke just fine.

This^^^
No worries man. Tobacco tins freeze and thaw all the time. I'm sure that when they ship them from the manufacturer, (STG, Mac Baren, K&K, Samuel Gawith, and their's is wet) they freeze and thaw on cargo ships, planes and trucks. Your tins probably sat on docks waiting for customs in 100+ degree heat and -0 degree cold. They will be fine.

 

[mso489]

Smoke it and report back on Forums. Anything for science and the pipe smoking gang.
