Stamps.com UPS Nightmare

I’m wondering if anyone has experienced this. For the first time, I chose UPS instead of USPS with a package on my stamps.com account. I weighed it like I always do. The package never arrives. I track it, and it’s stuck with USPS, which is claiming there’s not enough payment for postage. In these cases, they will neither return the package, nor will they deliver it. I chat with stamps.com customer service, who says this is a known issue they are working on with usps, but for now, they can only recommend I send to a missing packages email address run by USPS. Otherwise, they are unable(willing) to help me, since they are only a fulfillment service.

I did not opt to ship this package USPS, and yet it is stuck in their system. Now I’m triangulating three companies, all of whom have told me it’s not their responsibility. It’s entirely possible I weighed the package incorrectly and may have been off a pound or two, easy mistake to make. However, stamps.com using this double company service to ship what they are claiming to be a UPS package and actually using USPS is clearly causing issues, which they are unwilling to help me on. The package has $225 value, and I didn’t insure it beyond what I figured was UPS standard insurance. That seems to be unable to use here, as it’s not in their possession.

Anybody experience something like this? Any advice is appreciated!

EDIT: I got a reply from the USPS email address saying it’s the incorrect department to write to, and to go to the US Mail FAQ for further help. I’m amazed I even got a reply.

Parasound Zpre3 Preamp Relacement Suggestions

Hi - I've got a Zpre3 Stereo Preamplifier that just went bust (stopped powering on). I know this model has been discontinued. I'm debating whether to get it repaired, or if I should replace it with another similar budget-level audiophile preamp. If buying a new one, I'm looking to spend under $500. Anyone have suggestions?

It will be connected to:

Parasound Zphono preamp and digital interface

Parasound Model 275 Two Channel Amplifier

Triangle Borea BR03 100W bookshelf speakers

Technics SL-1200MK5 turntable

I'm located in the US. Thank you!

Question for longtime Wegovy users

Hi there. I'm a year into using Wegovy. All has been going decently, but over the past three weeks, I've had a surprising reaction to it. I've been feeling slight-to-mild-to-medium nausea to the degree I did when I first started taking it. I've even lowered my dosage in half, and am still having the effect. Has anyone else experienced this? I've tried using a new batch of dosage pens just in case the serum I had was having any of its own issues.

Just FYI, I titrate my doses by injecting the pens into sealed vials, then making tiny adjustments as needed when I draw out a dosage. For me, I've only needed to go as high as 0.35 mg for it to be effective. I'm presently down to about 0.18 mg in response to the above reactions.

[For Sale] 80s New Wave Syndicated Radio Show on LP

This is an interesting one. I have some editions from an early eighties nationally syndicated radio show called Wavebreakers. Each program is two LPs long, and has known bands (Human League, Depeche Mode, E.S.G., Psychedelic Furs) with groups a bit more obscure (Visage, The Girlscouts, Konk, The Passions). There's no artwork, as it's just a record in a dust jacket, and some have that show's playlist. Here's a rundown:

Program 513 - Both LPs with playlist (1982)

Program 520 - Both LPs with playlist (1982)

Program 521 - Both LPs with playlist (1982)
Program 522 - Both LPs with playlist (1982)

Program 515 - Both LPs with playlist (1982)

Program 602 - Both LPs, no playlist (1982)

There are some examples of the show online that you can listen to.

All records are around VG+ in quality. There's no artwork, only the playlists, which I can send photos of.

I'm looking to sell each Program (2LPs) for $35, or you can take the whole batch for $180. Shipping is $6 domestic no matter how many you get.

Let me know any questions and thank you!

Hi there. I just put an original screen print of the Cameron Winter show at Carnegie Hall up on eBay. I'm hoping to sell this to a fan, and I've started the bidding at $35, which is how all the proper shipping materials cost to send this safely. You can see photos at the link.

FYI, I messaged a mod before posting this to make sure it's ok. I know it can be a bummer to see "Buy my thing!" posts on a sub not specifically for selling stuff, so my apologies to anyone annoyed.

Thank you for looking.
