Secret Lair Bubble Mailer Opened and Empty (Canada)

My secret lair (stardew valley) arrived open and empty, save for a single cardboard spacer.

I'm in Canada, so I know that customs opens and goes through packages... I'm just curious if this has happened to anybody else before. I spent ~200 CAD on my GF and I, which is a lot of money for me so I'm quite upset. Have been looking forward to opening this up for a few weeks now, so coming home to find the bubble mailer open and empty was disapointing to say the least.

I've already opened a ticket with wizards, but I'm not sure if there's some other action I should be taking? It looks like wizards' support can takes weeks to respond based on other posts around here and as the receiver of the package I cannot open a claim with Canada Post.

Smitty ACS -593 Water Repellent Ball Bag vs UMPLIFE Weather-Tek Pro Ball Bag

Just curious if anybody knows how the Smitty water repellent ball bags compare to the umplife ball bags. They both look the same, and buying the Smitty bags would be a lot cheaper for me (purely for shipping reasons in Canada), but I can't find any info on how big they are or how many baseballs they can hold.

All other umpires I've talked to have got the umplife ones and love them, but I'd like to avoid having to pay for shipping from the US for just two items if possible.

The Umplife ball bags can hold ~8 balls comfortably which is what I'd be looking for (working collegiate baseball).

For clarity: This is the smitty bag in question

I know this place isn’t typically where you go for tech support but I’m unfortunately quite desperate since windows booting is rather important.

I have been putting off upgrading to windows 11 for a very long time and decided I’d finally give it a go today, which requires enabling secure boot.

I went into BIOS (B550 Aorus Elite AX V2, bios version F15) and disabled CSM before enabling secure boot. That put me into a loop of just booting into BIOS over and over, so I thought “okay, I will just enable CSM again, and then I can make sure all my SSDs are actually partitioned correctly”

Unfortunately, disabling secure boot and reenabling CSM gets me *past* the “aorus splash screen” but then windows never launches.

I have absolutely no idea what I’ve done since I’ve only touched the two buttons in bios and the computer was working perfectly beforehand while using CSM to boot.

Just wanted to share my first miniature

Got some paints and brushes as a gift since I’ve been wanting to get into painting figures for a while and I’ve finally found the time to finish my first model!

Going to have to touch up the antlers… I finally understand why people say working with white paint can be annoying *and* I still have to work on the base, but overall I’m quite proud.

If anybody has any resources or tips that they would’ve found useful when they first started I’d be more than happy to hear them :)
