Anyone have a lot of chips coming and going and mix up labels sending chips to the wrong person?

So, not with chips. But I actually sold three rifles once and my FFL shipped one of them to the wrong person. The Receiving FFL got this rifle they didn't order and just threw it in the stock room for 3 weeks till my buyer called me and we tracked it down..

I just mailed out 15+ packages, mostly padded envelopes. I was paranoid the whole time about messing up. Let’s hope I didn’t, but if I did that won’t surprise me either.

Owch, I guess sending a rifle to the wrong person is a bit different then sending chips to the wrong person. At least you were able to track it down.

During that Matsui WSOP GB I had to open up 20+ packages because I had leftover chips.
That was fun.

Nope Never!
: I have had to double check packages before sealing though. There is a lot to take into account when doing a large group of orders! Hope you get it all resloved

If running tournaments has taught me anything, its that you never seal an envelope until all envelopes are packed and you confirm that everything is right.

The kick to the dick was that all my counts and packages were right. I overlooked 2 sample sets.

Its resolved and wasn't that big of a deal because people in this community are very very cool to deal with! A lot of integrity here, you should all be proud of what you have built.

I added a suspicious avocado to my breakfast smoothie this morning.

That's funny. I have had some shipped to me from overseas which were actually someone else's chips. I contacted the shipper and I shipped them to the correct buyer, Could you imagine what it would have cost the shipper if I shipped them back to him and then he had to reship? (names removed to protect the innocent)
Never shipped chips to the wrong person, however, I have dropped a package of chips at the PO, thankfully only one rack in a SFRB, without the label attached... Refunded the buyer immediately... Needless to say, never saw the chips again... It hurts knowing they are forever lost...
At the CO meet-up this year, I kept dropping my address in front of @detroitdad (subliminally of course) in the hopes that one of his sales will "accidentally" arrive at my doorstep some day... I figure the chances have to be high with that many sales..........

Not chips - but sold two pairs of different high end Nike shoes to the wrong international buyers. Ooops. Everyone was good, and shipped to the right person, and I paid the shipping costs for my mistake.
Ooooh, I'm going to use that idea for my next mystery short story, under the title, "The Sentient Avocado". (y) :thumbsup:

Does that mean someone somewhere is wondering why their new PCA's look like dice chips?

Several years ago I accidentally selected "Austria" instead of "Australia" when creating a shipping label for something I sold. Despite everything else about the address being Australia, the package ended up in Austria.
Originally I was told that the customs office in Austria would (eventually) send it back to me and then I'd be responsible for reshipping it to Australia. That would have added several extra weeks to the delivery time to my customer, and another $60 in shipping costs I'd have to eat. Fortunately, the customs guy in Austria took pity on the geographically challenged American and just sent the package directly to Australia for me. Only downside was no one told me, so I had already refunded the guy's money by the time I found out it was being forwarded on. It all worked out in the end because when the guy received the lens he resent the payment and we all had a good laugh. I have since double and tripled checked all my shipping labels, especially those being sent to Austria and Australia

No. But I've had the same worries before. When I sell chips, it works better for me to pack them at home and then print and apply the shipping labels at work, and drop them off at the post office a block away from my office. The one or two times I've sent multiple packages, I wrote in pencil on the boxes right after I packed them to keep them straight.
