Is there an ice shield in one of these photos?

Hi,

There were a few severe hail storms in my area which damaged my roof. Over half of houses in my area replaced their roof. I've just got mine done by a local roofing company that promised that it would only cost me a deductible. So, I went with them. After the roof was replaced, the adjuster called to let me know that he's not going to cover some items in the supplemental items that the roofer submitted. One of them was the ice shield. It's required by building code. He told me that he requires photos of the ice shield before and after the new roof. The roofer only sent him photos of the after. He needs to see that it was there before to allow the coverage. He told me that the roofer messed up by forgetting to take photos of the old ice shield :-(

On the day that they worked on my roof, I took a bunch of photos. These 3 look like they could be the ice shield that the adjuster was looking for. I uploaded these photos to 2 AI: Grok and Gemini. One said it wasn't an ice shield. Just paper membrane. Another one said it could be an ice shield. Therefore I would like to get some help from the pros here. If these photos show ice shield, I would send them to my roofer. Thank you.

Is it normal to have the "Items Affacted" numbers even though they were retired?

Hi,

I just checked the Unpublished Items page and noticed that the affected items under Policy and compliance issues never gone to zero (see the green rectangle) even though I "retired" all of them. Is this normal? I'm getting scared after seeing many sellers here got their account suspended. One of the advice is to clear all errors in the Unpublished page. Please advise.

Anyone received this email from WFS?

https://preview.redd.it/pkqkzf7k3lih1.png?width=1392&format=png&auto=webp&s=89af3ee723224eeba1b21009625a96bd1e83e60c

Hi,

I just received this email several hours ago. How to find out the reason for WFS to not wanting to fulfill this white label item? I still have a ton of inventory left :-(

I added this item to my catalog about 13 months ago thought Express Setup. I has been selling ok (about 10 pcs a month). Should I remove all inventory from WFS, create my own listing (instead of the Express Setup), and send them back to WFS? Please advise. Thanks.

How long can we keep transferring balance? Is there a limit?

Hi,

I opened 2 new 0% APR credit cards around the end of last year and put a huge balance on them. They will be expired in 12 and 15 months. I've only paid minimum every month so far and plan to transfer the balance to next cards when 11th and 14th months arrive to take advantage of the 0% APR. How long would the card issuers allow us to keep doing this?

What's the process? Would applying for the new 0% cards difficult when the old cards exist with a huge balance? Any tips? Please share your thoughts and experiences. Thank you.

Walmart spied my other items other online store and convinced me to sell them. Is this a good sign or neutral?

I logged in to Walmart Seller today and found a pop up suggesting me to add "Customer Favorite" products. When I clicked the link, Walmart already prefilled most of the product information. I only had to click a few buttons to complete the listing. I sell this product on Amazon. Walmart gave the "Customer Favorite" badge to this item that never sold on Walmart but selling decent on Amazon. So, I thought why not. Is this a good sign to receive the "Customer Favorite" badge right off the bat? Does Walmart give better rank or higher visibility for products with "Customer Favorite" badge? Anything I should watch for? Please share your thoughts/experiences. Thank you.

Do Walmart expire CPC, Children Product Certificate, in 12 months?

Hi,

I'm planning to import toys to sell on Walmart platform. My Chinese supplier sent me CPC and a bunch of other certificates. They were all issued in 2025. He told me that the certificates are good for 5 years except for some online platforms like Amazon, Temu, etc that expire them in 12 months. He had no info about Walmart and urged me to double check. I sent these certificates to my freight forwarder. He was ok with it. So, they're valid for 5 years for custom clearance.

How long does Walmart expire CPC after issuing? Please share your thoughts. Thanks.

Does your name appear as an insured in the insurance policy?

Hi,

I run an LLC company that manages a multifamily rental building. The insurance agent told me that only LLC name should be listed as an insured. I'm afraid that when a tenant get injured (it will happen one day) and decide to sue me, I wouldn't be covered because my name is not listed as the insured. The agent told me to not comingle funds and separate everything blah blah. Ok but I'm managing the property. It doesn't matter if I separate all my personal finance from the LLC. Since I'm operating the building, the personal injury lawyer would include my name in the lawsuit party. Hence I believe the insured names should be both LLC and my name. The agent said nobody does that for the business policy. Hmm... can someone shine the light on this? How do you guys do it? Thank you.

Have you had hair loss problems after taking Creatine 5g daily, then reduce the dosage and have good results (or bad)?

Hi,

I took Creatine Monohydrate powder about 5 years ago; did the loading phase 10g daily for a week, then 5g daily afterward. It worked wonder! It gave me overwhelming stamina in the gym. I could workout twice as hard without getting tired. Two month in, my hair started to fall off by a bunch. So bad that I could see my head skin in the mirror. Hence I stopped taking Creatine completely. Luckily all my lost hair grew back within a year.

Lately there are more research about Creatine benefits coming out. I want to try again but with smaller dosage to keep my hair. Instead of 5g, maybe I'll do 1.5 or 2g. However I want to hear from other men who had done the same with good news (or bad news). Anyone had hair loss problem when taking 5g daily but the hair problem disappeared after reducing the dosage? Please share your stories/opinions. Thanks.

Printed barcodes fall off labels. It used to work perfectly in the past. Please help.

Hi,

I print barcodes on the 30 label paper for my work frequently. A few days ago, I noticed that all newly printed barcodes on the left column fall off the labels (the top paper in the first photo). Hence I couldn't use any barcode labels on the left column. I grabbed the old barcodes that I printed out just a month ago, put them side by side, and noticed the difference; the new barcodes were printed as "actual size" while the old barcodes were printed as "Fit to printable area". See the side by side comparison on the first photo.

By default, my printer prints "Fit to printable area". Whenever I need to print to 30 label paper (which is a thicker paper), I always change the printing preference to select the Paper Type "Heavy Paper H" to make the ink stick to the label paper (see second photo). It had been working perfect for years up until a few days ago. I checked the "View Settings" and noticed that the Manual Scaling is Off and 100%. I wonder if this caused the problem. It was read only. I couldn't change it :-(

Has your insurance company hiked the fire policy premium after you filed a claim to replace the roof?

Hi,

There was a severe hail storm in my area a few months ago. Many people here filed a claim to replace their roof. I also did it for my house without thinking much. I've heard that insurance companies hike the premium according to the zip code. Therefore it doesn't matter whether I file a claim. As long as many neighbors file a claim, the rate will go up.

My question is whether that works the same way for a commercial building? I would like to file a claim for the roof damage from the same hail storm. However I'm afraid that the next year premium would go up substantially. I wonder if the insurance for a commercial properties work differently compared to residential properties. Any ideas? Please share your thoughts/experiences. Thanks.

Does Walmart clear CPC during listing creation?

Hi,

I've just created a toy listing on Walmart Seller Center and uploaded CPC, Children Product Certificate, that the Chinese supplier provided. I was expecting the listing to error out because I could upload only 2 files: CPC certificate and ASTM, out of 7 files that the supplier gave me (Walmart only allowed 2 files to be uploaded). I submitted the listing and planned to work with seller support when it errors out. After waiting one day, it showed "Published" in Catalog page! It was a pleasant surprised.

Before placing a mass order to the supplier, I wonder what if Walmart reviews the CPC documents later? Is that possible? I don't want the listing to have problems after placing an order and paying the money. If Walmart reviews the CPC documents later, how long should I wait to be safe? Please advise. Thank you.

Is this really not patchable? Discount Tire told me to replace.

Many houses around my block had to replace their roof after a heavy hail storm. I ran over one of the roof nails. I brought it to Discount Tire. They said it's not patchable and need to be replaced. They recommended replacing both driver and passenger sides at the same time since the tires are quite worn out (number 3 and 4 in orange) already. I don't drive this car much; maybe around 7000 miles a year, because I travel and stay oversea a lot. So, I would prefer to patch it and hope to get another year or two out of it. The leak is not bad. I have to pump air once a week to maintain the proper pressure.

Is this really not patchable? Is Discount Tire over careful or try to sell tires? Please share your thoughts. Thanks.

Follow up 7/3/2026: Thank you very much. Many people here gave many good reasons to replace and I believe them. Since the roof replacement activities are still going on around my house, I'm afraid that a new set of tire would run over roof nails again soon. The roof replacement activities will be over by March next year (because insurance only allow 12 months to make a claim). Is it safe to wait until March 2027 to replace the tires? Please advise.

What happen if AT&T value my trade-in phone much less after I mailed it?

Hi,

I took up the promotion to trade-in my current phone (S20) for a new S26 phone. Frankly their $1500 S26 retail price is overpriced. The currently market price is around $1200. I did the trade-in anyway because they told me that I would get $500 credit for my S20. That would make the net price $1000 ($1500 - $500) and spread it over 36 months. I went to a local AT&T store for the trade-in. They printed out a shipping label. I dropped it at UPS.

I started reading stories of people who said AT&T didn't give them a fair trade-in value. According to AT&T website, they take 2-3 billing cycles to determine the value of the trade-in phone. That's super long. By the time the 2 billing cycle passes, the 30 day window for customers to return the new phone would already close. Am I right? Please share your thoughts/experiences. Thanks.

Is "Inventory review" a possible bad news?

Hi,

Today I viewed WFS Inventory page. The column "Unavailable to sell" has always been zero. However today it showed 3. when I hovered the mouse pointer over it, a white window "Temporarily unavailable units" popped up. I hovered the mouse pointer over the i with circle around icon of "Inventory review". The black explanation popped up. I moved it to the top (so, it doesn't block the view) and made this screenshot. It seems like Walmart is doing some kinds of review; compliance, expiration date, cycle count (don't even know what that is).

Is this a potential bad sign? Did a customer make a complaint about this product? Should I create a removal order to get these 3 back to me? Please advise. Thanks.

What do you call this type of adapter (1st image)? Do you happen to know what was wrong with my DVR (2nd image)?

Hi,

My DVR stopped working and only showed "No video signal" in all 4 windows (second image). I couldn't view live video either. I'm suspecting that the power adapter for the 4 cameras could be bad (first image). However I don't know the proper name of the adapter; one end is for plugging to wall outlet, the other end splits 4 ways for 4 cameras to connect. Do you know what keyword I should use to find a replacement adapter?

If my guess is wrong and the problem is not the camera power adapter, what do you think the problem could be? The DVR system is only 2 years old. I don't know what to do next if replacing the camera power adapter doesn't solve the issue. Please advise.

Please help me figure out which anode rod my tank actually need.

Hi,

This tank is about 7 years old. Its anode rod has never been replaced. I'm trying to replace it for the first time. I did some googling and ordered a rod AP11525BD-2 for my plumber to use. He told me that the tank needed 4 rods, not 1, huh?? I called the shop to order more. He asked for the serial number on the tank (A207903327) and told me that I bought the wrong part. The correct part would be AP11524M and they're out of stock until mid July. I did some more googling today and it told me that I need SP11309C and only one rod, not four. What??? Now I'm even more confused about which rod I should get. Below is the summary of the timeline of the 3 different rods that I was told to buy:

6/3/2026 Google told me that I need a 50-3/8" Magnesium Anode Rod, AP11525BD-2

6/15/2026 SupplyHouse told me that I need a 36-1/8" Magnesium Anode Rod, AP11524M

6/16/2026 Google told me that I need a 44.375" Magnesium Anode Rod, SP11309C

Can a pro here help me answer which one is required and how many? Thank you very much.

Is it ok that my IRS checks got forwarded from Cincinnati OH to Louisville KY?

Hi,

A few weeks ago, IRS sent me a letter demanding the remaining of the tax payment. So I put my personal checks to the envelopes that IRS provided. When I went to USPS to send as Certified mail, they said the zip code was wrong. They changed it from "IRS PO box 742562, Cincinnati, OH 45280-2562" to "IRS PO box 742562, Cincinnati, OH 45274-2562". Only two digits of the 45280 got changed to 45274.

A few days later, I tracked through USPS website. It showed that the mails had the wrong zip code and was forwarded to Louisville, KY 40293. The mails got picked up today. I'm wondering if the the KY office has the ability to cash my checks like the OH office. Any ideas? Should I be concerned or send out new checks? Please advise.

BTW I tried to sign up for online account but failed. I have an appointment with the local IRS office by the end of this month. So, paying online is not an option.

What webcam would you recommend for a mini PC (NUC) to interact with AI?

Hi,

I just installed Claude. It has the ability to listen to the users. Many people said it's easier to talk to AI than to type. My NUC doesn't have a microphone. So, I want to buy a webcam (that has both microphone and camera) to use for this purpose. Any recommendation? What to avoid? Thanks.

Please help me find a wireless keyboard with this layout

Hi,

This is my old wired keyboard that I've grown accustom to. Most new keyboards these days move keys around e.g. backslash "\" in yellow, arrow keys in pink, and the 6 keys in blue and messed up my typing a lot. I could only find wireless keyboards that have keys in the yellow and pink areas. I couldn't find a keyboard that has blank space above the 6 keys as shown in blue area. This might sound weird but I use the Home and End buttons a lot when I navigate around the text (without using my eyes). Having other buttons above them is really in the way.

I scouted through Amazon.com but still couldn't find a wireless keyboard with this layout. Can someone guide me where to find it? Thank you.
