typical “Yankee Bro”. It’s time to put differences aside and all get behind the AL East candidate for the sake of all of us

I got “Spenser”’s order at Nicolettos and they (presumably) got mine. Now dinner is ruined for both of us 😔😔😔

The first thing I saw after getting off the phone with a very concerned friend in Inglewood (assuring him he did NOT need to vote today) was this email lol. All these districts are confusing!

email from Council Member Emily Benedict saying “COUNCIL District 7 is NOT CONGRESSIONAL District 7”

Hey, what’s up Nashville!? We’re trying out the WeGo Airport Express (18) today. We’ll see how ambitious I am about posting as we go, but you can count on a trip summary outbound and inbound on this thread.

I sent my friend’s son a soccer kit and they got a $61 bill for the tariff. The invoice included items I didn’t even buy! Also, a $61 bill addressed to a 5 year old was very funny to see.

this is like half of r/ups now

Hi Andrew,

You have a new invoice for $63,755.71

Tariff Fee on T Shirt

Total Due: $83.27

Government Charges: $59.27
Brokerage Charges: $24.00

How to go about disputing an incorrect tariff charge?

Total Due: $82.92

Government Charges: $68.92
UPS Brokerage fees: $14.00

I’ve received 15 different duties and tariff charges for items I didn’t order.
Customer Seeking Help
The title is the crux of the issue. Over the past 3 weeks I’ve received numerous brown envelopes all charging me for duty and tariff fees associated with items that I never ordered.

The seller is somebody I’ve bought from before, but the last time I purchased from them was several months ago and my name is on the sold to slot. The “shipped to” person is someone I don’t know and the address and tracking address are both unrelated to me.

I’ve sent emails to an address given to my by the one time I was able to get through the phone number listed on the paper bill. They said the invoices will be removed in 4-6 weeks but now I’ve started receiving late fee bills on top. I’ve tried to call in again once a day, but I either get hung up on or my call drops once the wait lasts over an hour.

Any advice? I just don’t want this to go to collections or affect my credit for something I didn’t order or have any relation to besides my name being on something it shouldn’t have.

My life is a movie and I want to keep the party going. I’m too old to celebrate a midweek birthday, but I’d love for you to come to Strega on Friday from 6-late.

Might hop on the 56 if the vibe is right.

We need a bigger national spotlight on this building raid, fam. Agents dropped from helicopters onto the roof. Citizens and non-citizens alike were dragged from their homes in the night. People who weren't kidnapped during the raid had their belongings seized after the fact. This is madness.

No, hundreds of teams compete. MLS teams join later in the tournament but nearly any organized soccer team can participate. It starts in November IIRC, and goes the entire year.

The US Open Cup is not MLS, but is over 100 years old and is one of the oldest tournaments in the world.
