PO box?

PO box?

I don't think the post office lets you do that with big packages. Right now my plan is to gut it for the hard drive and the expensive parts in it, then get a new barebones box when I have a place set up.

[Losonti Tokash]

don't you have like

friends or family

[Count Chocula]

Can't you just go buy a box for $7 from The UPS Store or Kinko's and some bubble wrap? It worked for me when I had to move my rockin' homebuild PIII full tower speed machine.

[Zod]

don't you have like

friends or family

not where i'm moving to, though one of my friends here is helping me get my trunks to the greyhound express station next week

as far as my family

oh man

imagine an episode of living with the palins

i hate them that much

[Flagg]

You don't have anyone you can send it to who can then mail it to your new address?

[Losonti Tokash]

yeah that's basically what i'd suggest, just have a friend hold it and mail it to you in a week

[Zod]

If us mail doesn't have a simple form you fill out to redirect your shit

Your country is shit

well yeah, our postal system is pretty much balls

it's not exactly a huge deal though, getting a new case is pennies compared to replacing the whole thing

right now the graphics card and power supply are probably worth more than the whole box

[Losonti Tokash]

our postal system is actually pretty great and it takes a whole 5 minutes to get your mail forwarded to a new address for the next year by going to their website

[Zod]

on the bright side it's only taken five trunks and 3 suitcases to pack up like 80% of my crap

i have far too many books

[timmy]

Let's face up to the facts here Zod

You're trying to shift the blame when the truth is you just want to downsize

i actually tried finding a trunk that i could use to ship my pc

but it's impossible to get something sturdy that it would fit in that wouldn't cost more than just getting a barebones kit

Just so everyone knows. Mr Friendly Guy - RESPONSIBLE FOR PEOPLE'S LIVES IN HIS DAY TO DAY JOB.

Is it any wonder pharmaceutical companies have such an easy time hawking products?

[Agent Bert Macklin]

What is that in reference to, weemadando?

[Oxymoron]

Zod : I'm sure I'm missing some important detail, but couldn't you, like, rent a truck to move all your shit through country in one go ? Or is it a money problem ? Or something else ?

PO box?

I don't think the post office lets you do that with big packages.

Uh, yeah they do. They stick a piece of paper in your PO box saying you've got a large package (lol penis joke) and that you can pick it up at their desk. They just hold it for you.

[evilsoup]

look the real point is that zod wants us to know that he's handy with technology

[timmy]

Couldn't take all my pokemons with me, mum

[adr-admin]

the us postal service is great

[RyanThunder]

Goddamn opthamologists charging way more than I thought they would for an appointment. Guess I'm not making that trip up to Ottawa unless my insurance gets back to me quicker than usual. Ah well. At least they didn't do that thing that half-blinds me for the afternoon.

otoh new glasses in September. My current ones are all cracked and shit so looking forward to not having big fucking lines in the lower half of my vision.

[Zod]

i don't know why i thought jumping into a gun control argument was a good idea

if i had a license, yes, i could do that

[Oxymoron]

well, I don't know how it is in the US, but here with a B-License (the one that allow you to drive a personnal car), you can drive any four-wheeled vehicle under 3.5 metric tons, fully-loaded weight.

this technically allow you to rent something like this : http://www.auto-moins-cher.fr/wp-conten ... jumper.jpg http://www.amenagement-vehicule.com/cli ... cn6267.jpg


edit : or do you mean you don't have a driver license at all ?

[RogueIce]

You can drive one of these with a standard driver's license in the US:



I'm guessing Zod just doesn't have a license period.
