I want to be with your tokens.

Wow, just wow. Mine did thankfully arrive today, but really nothing worth mentioning. That's alright. I've had some good pulls this year. This just wasn't one of them.

Bummer for bad pulls, but yay for speedy arrival!

Tracking said my treasure left the vortex on 8/11, but no sign of it since then.

Very sorry to hear this. Hope it turns up somewhere today.

Maybe it went to hawaii with my treasure.

Okay, so this is weird. Tracking still has no information since the package left St, Louis, but I got a box in the mail today, but ti was unusual. The address label was handprinted instead of machine printed. The box had a VTD 6A XP card, a bag with three rares, and a bad with Boots of Health and Goggles of Striking (I assume those are the participation tokens for 6A). Nothing else, so I am missing a starter pack and 20 treasure draws. First time I've had a mistake in getting treasure.

It always amazing me how much quicker it seems to get tokens back from Jeff and Co than it does to get them to him.

So I dropped a package off on Sunday evening. I know they aren't going to get to it till Monday, which is fine. It is supposed to be delivered Wednesday. Even says it is out for delivery on Wednesday. But later says it is at the PO for pickup (which is code for someone forgot it there). So it is delivered on Thursday, which is yesterday. TD had to go through the transmute, confriming the numbers were right. Package up the return box and ship it out. It is already in Indy today. Now I might not get it till Monday, but it probably will get it tomorrow. So 2 day return including the time TD had to do the transmute vs 4 shipping it there. I know it is partially to do with the fact that the box I sent is bigger than the box I am getting back but still.

I bought tokens from Arcanist’s recent auction. The post office moved them from Arizona to Illinois in 48 hours. I was very surprised at their speed.

Same. I got my tokens from Arcanist one day earlier than USPS’s initial estimate. Which was great, but doesn’t make up for them losing a box of prescription medicine a few weeks ago. (It shows as being received by a PO near the pharmacy two days after I ordered it, making it to the nearest USPS distribution facility, and then totally falling off the map. My “please find this missing package” request got a “we looked but have no idea where it is” response a few days ago.)

That sucks worse than tokens getting lost or delayed. Prescriptions are one of the things more important than tokens.

I knew I would upset someone here.

Thank you for the laugh. I really needed it—just got off a second call to the pharmacy, because the replacement package they promised to send hasn’t shown up and I didn’t get any sort of order confirmation or tracking number. Turns out, the replacement never went out. They assure me it will be sent today, though!

I’m sure I won’t need to call them again about this order. Right?
