Got it for my birthday, first crate comes when I'm out and someone else receives it. Then the next month comes and I discover the truth.

Guy knocks on my door at noon: I am mildly indisposed so I yell "JUST A MINUTE!". Open door twenty seconds later, guy's gone left the package at my door.

This month guy comes at 4 PM, I buzz him in, he knocks at my door, I open it, he sticks the package in my hand and turns on his heel like he was offended to present me with it. The answer is clear: postal workers have a vendetta against delivering nerd poo poo.

I am the man who has deprived you of victims and thus has destroyed your world, and if you wish to know why you are peris

I went to a post office a few weeks ago to ask a few questions. And literally was nice as possible the lady never said a word to me just pointed at poo poo then left the room as I told her to "have a nice day."

What I"m trying to say is government employees are lazy, assholish, and paid too much. They know they pretty much can't lose their jobs so they don't care.

I am legitimately, unironically baffled that LootCrate is a thing, and is in fact a pretty popular thing, and that it is in any way a profitable venture.

The USPS doesn't receive tax dollars, are they technically government employees?

They're a semi-private organization. It's all really convoluted.

If it's anything like other national postal services, they actually are owned by the government but they pay their own employees with their own profits. Also, profits are handed over to the government at the end of the day so no, your tax dollars are not paying their salary and they are actually helping fund services you use.

I think the best part about loot crate is its like a random garbo bag of swag. You don't even know 100% what you're going to get. It could be that new zelda 3ds (lol yeah right buddy) or it could be a bag of used nintendo condoms!

Its like publisher house clearing for nerds.

do it
I have a subscription to the dollar shave club, and have had all sorts of trouble getting them delivered lately. After having delivered them no problem for a year and a half, they left a "sorry we missed you" card (even though I was home, they never knocked). The card claimed that it was sent insured mail and I had to sign for it or pick it up. I contacted dollar shave club and they said they don't send anything insured.

I filled out the card saying to bring it back, but they never took the card. Finally I saw the mail lady so I have her the card. It still didn't come so a few days later i saw her again and asked about it. She laughed and said "those cards don't matter, you need to pick it up". I said, "how, you took it?" and she laughed again and said I would never get it.

I emailed the past office website and said that happened, and the next day a guy from the office drive his personal car over with my package. The next 3 months I didn't get my razors, even though they were sent. I didn't notice because I had plenty of backup blades. Month 4 I come home and all 4 boxes are crammed into my box, all postdated when they should have been sent.

The post office should hire a guy whose job is to poo poo in all the Lootcrates and see if the people getting them notice.
