I detest couriers.
Sent a machine to London once and our rep was there to meet it. He said it 'looked iffy' so checked it before signing for it. In the end he refused it because upon inspection it had been dropped in transit and the front end was damaged. He took pics as evidence.
When we got it back in the workshop it looked different to the pictures...and it transpired they had dropped it on the return journey too...and damaged all the back of it :-o
More recently, I have been made redundant and have started up on my own. Seeing as I'm only a 1 man band, I have to wait in for deliveries.
I waited at my unit all day for a delivery to come. It came at 3pm...a waste of a day.
The driver said 'I delivered in here this morning and saw you, but didn't know you were this company. I don't have time to p!ss about in a morning trying to find people'.
To which I replied, 'I didn't really have time to wait around all day for you, but I was left with no option'.
I appreciate they have a job to do, but 90 seconds of his time would have saved me a lost days work!!!
Pardon my ignorance...but I never undestood this expression.
I thought this thread was about the devestating loss PeeJay and his humidor suffered at the hands of the postman.
At this point, however, I think this thread has "jumped the shark!"

The damaged unit has been taken away, still waiting for a replacement. What was interesting was the guys who picked it up. That's what they do, returns, and their van contained eight TVs that they had collected including two 65" UHD models. They were all Sony.

Happy Days, later in the story arc The Fonz [ a character known for almost inhuman displays of ability] quite literally jumps over a shark on a surf board, this is often seen as the tipping point for the show and the point of it's decline into nonsense.
"Jumping the shark" has entered modern vernacular as a way of saying something has lost it's way and perhaps should be ended as it has lost relevance. For example "Don TJ and the Coros are happily jumping sharks on the other side of midnight."
You are basically saying this thread has become crap....

That is correct, ValeTudoGuy, according to the Google. But I wouldn't go so far as to say this thread has become "crap," more like "run its course!"
As far as the Coros and the shark....I'm afraid so, amigo.
