Item held at Scarborough

A missing package sent out the first week of April has suddenly updated yesterday to the held at Scarborough, contact customer service.

This was nothing more than a small classic car badge I sent out to the US, in which I’ve sent out a dozen similar items all under the same declaration info and tariff codes with no issues. So,

I made a post about the local post office using a label printer that is leaving blank lines along the left side of the label sometimes cutting off address information. This just happened to be a box I did not sharpy the address on at the time. So, is this potentially the culprit? Why else would something like that get seized and take so long to show up in the system.

Number 1, can I go pick it up in person being not too far from the location, and what number do I contact otherwise?

Why do all the Clear Polyurethane “UV Stable” resins yellow so easily without exposure?

I’ve used clear “UV stable” water clear resins from multiple companies, including smooth-on, BJB, thermoset solutions, alumilite and so forth.

I have the full set up from vacuum to heated pressure pots, Yet pretty much every casting that I have made from any of the companies begin to yellow within months to a year just sitting in dark storage. How can anyone make items to sell when these parts degrade so quickly? In fact, they discolour so fast relative to actual aging yellowing that they are often yellowed within a couple of months before I have a chance to even finish the items for sale.

The only brand out of these that have not yellowed in regular indoor conditions was smooth on crystal clear series. The main difference here is that their physical properties are horrible, with heat deflection only at 120F and fairly non chemical resistant which is useless in my applications often involving custom decorative car and bike parts.

Smooth on is obviously geared toward say dice makers or costume jewelry and such, but these other brands are ideal for real world applications.

So why is it that all of these “superior” industrial grade brands have their clear PU resins discolour so fast despite their data sheets being clearly superior to the hobby brands like smooth on?

Does it have something to do with mercury being removed from all of these other brands unlike smooth on crystal clear which still uses it?

My local post office is using a label printer which is leaving a blank line straight down the left side of labels, as if that one side isn’t printing ink though it not being an ink printer, and it very often cuts out a number or two of the addresses and they are refusing to fix this because “oh the bar code will have all the info” I pointed out the last one because it completely cut off the apartment number on the receiver portion.

Well you can’t always rely on the computer systems. Not everyone remembers to write out the address with sharpy on the box either and if a bar code becomes obscured or something and the address number is cut off.

So who do I contact to get them to fix this so I don’t have to drive 40 mins to the next location?

This is not my photo, I found it on facebook under a “post your smile cookie” post where everyone gets to show their epic fails of smile cookies,

But I believe this is the single best representation of modern day Tim Hortons
