I think you'll like the service, it's an awesome way to earn Amazon Gift Cards and you can use those 1:1 in our GFC store for our services

If I'd like to add Amazon.com funds to my account how can I go about doing that? I've got 2x $5 Amazon GC atm that I'd like to put in, granted that I still haven't found anything that I'd want to order from the States (end up finding deals up in Canada) but I'm sure it'll come in handy someday.

Hey Goomba,

Just wanted to know if you got the payment for Marvel: Ultimate Alliance 2 and Fringe: Season 1 on Blu-Ray.

Well unfortunately the $9.00 extra for priority shipping turned out to be a waste because it still hasn't shown up and my father left today for 3 months :(

Which is odd, because I live in suburb bordering with the city of Toronto. If the package can't make it within the expected time to pretty much the closest major city center, when does it EVER make it on time (let alone at the optimistic end of the range.)

Kind of a crappy feeling to take those extra measures and still not be able to give him his parting gift

Myv, the easiest way to do it is just to PM me the codes along with your personal information (full name/ Address / Email address) and I will apply them to your account in our software. Next month there will be a place on the website for you to dynamically add funds to your account either through Paypal or Amazon GC's, etc.).

Pat, yes I did I will go through it tonight when I get home from 6:30 PM.

emjaymj, I'm really sorry to hear that! I have a feeling the multiple snow storms in the Northeast effected this :( really sorry man. I would have shipped it to his destination address if I thought it wouldn't get there in time. Bummer man, I hope you understand I really did try to get it there in time. Mail unfortunately isn't yet a science as it seems somewhat random in terms of customs and delivery dates. My deepest apologies man.

That will be an awesome feature to look forward to! In the meantime I've just sent my info with the codes to your PM box, tell me how it works out Thanks!

Thanks Myv. Yeah, I'm excited about the next upgrade steps too for the GFC webpage. It's really just a big learning experience: taking everything you guys want, everything I need to work and finding the best medium for it. In time we'll get everything down so it's clear, concise and easy for everyone (at least that's the goal).

I will go ahead and apply your credits in my system and they will be available for you for all future orders Thanks!

No worries, I'm not the blamey type. Most of the reason it feels so crappy is I pretty much end up laying the fault of all this stuff at my own feet. Oh well... next time I'll know better than to trust something time-sensitive to international mail...

Yeah definitely. National mail in the USA is like clockwork. I could set my watch for my local packages and I can ship to California and expect it to be there in 3-4 days, but for international mail there are just too many factors. This is why I don't really offer any shipping guarantees or delivery dates. It's a bummer for sure, but most of the time mail to Canada is fairly regular. Holidays and snow storms and Olympics aside

Did you manage to get my DR goomba?

Yes I did telepathy I will process all new DR's tonight. I just got back and picked up almost 45 packages worth of stuff (a TON of items came in today thanks to the long holiday weekend). I will be spending the next 6 or 7 hours packing and invoicing so no worries, I'll get to it ASAP ^_^ Keep an eye on GYROS updates tonight guys, lots of items are in!

Goomba, curiously, what the hell do you drive that you can carry so many packages in?

Let's just say I have tired arms, a very full Prius car and a lot of trips up and down the stairs. Needless to say I earn my Service Charges

Think of all the money you're saving by not having to go to the gym!

Hey goomba478, how much will be the service charge for the ebay lot of 6 books? Do you consider it 1 "item" or 6 "items"?

I typically count it as a lot, though the weight thing sometimes comes into play with books as they tend to be heavy. Thanks!

Excuse my broken English, do you mean "I typically count it as a single item" or "I typically count it as a shitload"? I can't understand what you mean by saying "a lot"

oh okay sorry for not being clear. If the item is a group of items (called a "lot") on eBay then typically I'll treat it as such. So if you were to order say a 5 book set for Harry Potter to me that's one lot (only counts as one item). If it weighed 5 pounds though, then I'd charge the additional $5.00 service fee on top of the normal fees. So yes, in most cases I would count it as a single item.

There are exceptions. But if you have any specific questions about a particular item or group of items just let me know Thanks Setite!

Hey Goomba did you send my stuff? I ask because I got a call from Purolator saying I missed on picking up a package.

Thank you very much for the explanation. Please delete the DR I've sent, I'll make another one soon. Sorry for the trouble. I like the new processing system a lot, it is much much better than the old one.
BTW, if I were you, I would rename that "submit" button to "login". I think "submit" might confuse a few customers.

kathos, no but your items are shipping today. They are next to be processed so you should receive the Email soon. Not my package that you missed though sorry to say.

Setite, I already sent out the Direct Request invoice. If you want me to delete it I certainly can. Oh and I like the suggestion about the LOGIN button instead of Submit. I'll update that soon. Thanks!
