TB Anticipation Syndrome

[haraya]

Waiting on a burnt orange YD. I've wanted one ever since they came out and I saw that adorable photo of a child lugging his mini Yeoman around. No more minis in orange though so I got a small. My DD does not like orange so I think that means this one will be safely mine. If my Paypal tree was endlessly fruitful I'd go ahead and complete the set with the other two sizes! But, am not planning a trip any time soon, much less one which requires carrying a small elephant or a watermelon.

Still debating whether I need a "backup" Luminary 12. (I already have two, to say nothing of my other TB packs! )

I was able to order a GE Synik 30 in Navy and an HLT2 in Seapine Green Thursday. Super thrilled to get a new bag for my Mac, and use my GE Synapse as a non-tech bag. Now anxiously awaiting a confirmation link so I can watch it travel across the country to me...

After delivery delays due to the protests, I received mine last night.
I already had an Aubergine mini in the back of my car with some extra clothes...now I have a mini Verde too, I forgot how cute they are.

G42 I’m going to point you to kathryn’s post about buying a Verde Mini Yeoman Duffel for her 3 year old nephew. It gives a link to a YouTube video that her dad was going to use to add green cord pulls in the form of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (How to Make a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Inspired Paracord Key Fob/Buddy - YouTube)

Thanks, I had forgotten about that post!

When I was growing up in W.Mass, I met Eastman & Laird at a local comic book store at some point. I still have some of the TMNT comics somewhere - can't remember if they signed any or not, it was a *very* long time ago.

Threw in an order for a large YD. Saw that they are being retired and have needed a quality duffle for some time. Trying to switch the colour choice from Coyote to Steel. Hopefully the TB crew catches my mistake before they ship

Call first thing tomorrow, as soon as they open (I assume you've already sent an email to [email protected]). The crew are great with this type of thing!

I responded to the order confirmation like they point out, but that’s probably a good idea to ensure they catch it! A big part of me might just not bother— it would be super fun to wonder what I’m going to get, kind of like pouch color choice!

[haraya]

Ha, that’s the spirit! I’m sure you will enjoy whatever shows up!

[haraya]

Received my Burnt Orange YD today! It’s so fun! To my delight , the small is not much longer than the Mini. So they both still have that cute factor. 😊 And I love the lushness of the 1050d. My FOMO worked out this time!! 😄😄

I'm so sad. My order was supposed to come yesterday. It even said it was delivered yesterday. But there was nothing by my door or anywhere outside =( (left by "front door" my *$$) Still nothing today. I'm so bummed. Yes, I have an email to Customer Service because I can't ask UPS WTF, but seriously UPS, WTF? Talk about multi-layered anticipation!

[haraya]

Ask your neighbors - sometimes things have been delivered to other people's houses near me. Ridiculous. (and, one time UPS dropped off a large box for me that was half-open, and a couple of other packages slipped in there. One was for a neighbor and the other was for an address a mile away!! I never could get through to UPS so we ended up delivering it ourselves.)

But also if it doesn't show up in 24H, file a claim and hound UPS. They actually have more info in their system than is visible to customers. And packages do eventually turn up IME. Good luck!!

[earth5]

haraya Yup, TB's already placed an investigation with UPS (Thanks Matt!). I really do hope it shows up, it had 2 forest face masks and a mini & small verde YD (which aren't available anymore). If not I will be very disappointed (does UPS end up refunding the cost of the items? I have no idea how that would work, it's their fault after all). Too bad UPS doesn't take a photo like Amazon sometimes does -- I've been able to use Amazon photos to track down packages to the wrong building or apartment by matching up the picture, but "front door" is pretty worthless

My new Nebulous/Dawn Luminary 12 and Logic Blue Travel/Everyday Cubelet are scheduled to arrive tomorrow!

If anyone’s been thinking about getting a retiring Luminary 12 in Nebulous/Dawn, stock is down to “just a few left” (3 after I ordered, 2 now). I had missed out on all the Pickup Truck colors I like because I was having trouble justifying the purchase, so I was keeping a close eye on the Luminaries.

When visiting Seattle last March, I got to try one on in the showroom and loved the fit, but I didn’t have a use case for it (it would be great for just me, but I didn’t think all my kid-related stuff wouldn’t fit as well) and figured I’d think about it again in a couple years. Its retirement accelerated my timeline, and the pandemic has introduced a use case: I think it will be great as my kid and I are starting to venture out of the house beyond the immediate neighborhood a bit more. I don’t need as much space since we aren’t going out far or for very long, and the comfort will be very appreciated since I’ll want to avoid taking it off. And unlike my beloved but currently unused Icon, a backpack will work worn at the same time as the Travel/Everyday Cubelet that has become my daily carry for essentials.

The Logic Blue TC/EC is my second, purchased so I can swap with my Dawn one when I need to wash it. I had trouble deciding on a color until I remembered how much I love the Logic Blue of my Icon and miss getting to use it. The TC/EC was never quite right for my carry before (I’d go back and forth between it and a Side Effect or Side Kick before switching almost entirely to the Icon), but it’s amazing how much a pandemic can alter what you consider essential.

Darcy - any guess as to when the Parental Units will be in production? I have a friend who is pregnant that I am slowly assimilating into the TB-Borg and want to be able to gift one... right now they want plain old Black/NWSky and I assume that will usually be on the combo list...


thanks!
