Rant on shipping

[Oaktree]

Oddly enough, the new welder I ordered is coming through the mail.

That is odd. I would have thought heavy/bulky items were pretty much always shipped thru one of the parcel shippers.

I placed 4 different orders on Saturday, it turns out at least one will be coming by each service. It'll be interesting to see which gets here first. Oddly enough, the new welder I ordered is coming through the mail.

Fronius Lego® Welder | PWP Industries Is this the welder you bought? LOL..

Sounds great! Which welder, and what are your plans for it?

All the best,

Just a small Lincoln DC unit. I needed something that runs on 120 volts. I have my father's old "Tombstone" AC 225 but don't have a place to plug it in. Last weekend I was down looking at it and discovered that all of the insulation for the leads and plugin have rotted away.

The welder came first, I received that via USPS yesterday. It's a cute little rig, it even came with a shoulder strap so that I can wear it like a hand bag. Hopefully it works well, like I've come to expect from Lincoln.




Today UPS delivered the new radiator for my Ferguson. It'll be nice to finally get that running again.
The two smallest items; an electric appliance and a set of house plans; are out there somewhere but neither FedEx or the postal service can tell me where.

ORM-D, which stood for "Other Regulated Materials - Domestic," was a US Department of Transportation designation for limited quantities of hazardous materials, primarily consumer commodities, that presented a limited hazard during transportation. However, this designation was phased out on December 31, 2020, and is no longer used.
