Had no idea where to post this, but it's a "check in" of some sort I suppose.
I've been off for about a month - five weeks now, most of which was just normal life. Was overseas to get the move going and settled in, had a discrepancy with the agency work hired to handle the transition, France didn't recognize a piece of the documentation, we could only work in france a week at a time and had to grab the kids and leave twice to reset the clock then reenter, etc. That's just normal life though, which kept me from being active on here.
For those whom I owe poker chips to, I 100% thought these were sent off. I had maybe 1-3 individual sales, along with 2 splits on Outpost Casino chips (to help seller, myself, and others that wanted in). Was going to send all at once, and waited, waited, waited to get all the payments in. By the time I did, we were in the middle of a ton of packing and logistics on a household level, heading out the door. I needed my neighbor to grab the last package that was incoming, and since that was already happening I utilized him for sending out as well (he's a very, very good family friend and fellow chipperish, I have no problem trusting him and if something was to happen no problem covering every penny in full). I had everything set aside, money for mailing, supplies, ensured that he knew how to correctly package what wasn't already prepackaged for him, etc. He was given my login info to provide tracking numbers, we were all good.
Long story short, I confirmed they were sent, confirmation was given, I thought everything was hunky dorey (sp?). My focus for the rest of that month was pulled towards figuring out the nightmare that is EU, specifically French red tape (while holding down the 2 kids and new business as wife was in the air for work). I absolutely should have checked in on here just to confirm feedback, deliveries, etc., just didn't even remotely think there would've been a problem when I did have the chance to think of my chippies in a box somewhere. Turns out neighbors divorce took an unforeseen ugly turn, and this guy who I swear is as meticulous as they come, just completely whiffed on this. Had set everything aside, was heading out the door one day, got sideswiped, and a month later here we are.
I'm back in the states, everything is right here, I'm handling this myself as I write this. It's 1 right now, I'm racing against the clock to have everything out by 5 (because at this point who wants to wait or trust that these will be out tomorrow, I understand everyone probably wants pictures and confirmation #s immediately). I'm simply writing this because it's going to take me a minute to sort through messages and notifications from a month, and I don't want anyone thinking I'm handling one issue before there's or just sitting here online. Lastly, this is not how I have ever run any business of mine, nor is this my modus operandi for anything I set out to do. I apologize for any undo stress this has caused individual chippers, and am racking my brain how best to rectify the situation. Just flat out refunding every single purchase in addition to sending out the chips may not be the rout I take today, but it's not off the table if I can't think of anything else. Bare with me just today while I sift through the mountain of information I missed, and please trust in the fact that I literally (as in very much so literally) feel sick to my stomach about this.
Thank you,
Jeff
Edit: I have to follow up after just starting messaging back all around and trying to find threads that mention this. I am extremely sorry for being the source of some shittiness on PCF. Hate seeing threads about people worried about purchases, hate even more being the cause of said thread. I'm also very thankful for the candor and respectfulness that everyone shows when communicating about this and trying to reach a resolution. Great community, sorry to cause a divot in said community, and hope to be a value add component at some time in the future.
