I don’t know if anyone else saw it, but you should all be concerned. The USPS is becoming lazier by the day, and it has an effect on all of us fellow snuffers. He patiently waited for his package 15 feet from his door. Instead of the worker ringing the doorbell or knocking, they left the “We’re Sorry we missed you” slip. Isn’t that just a big kick in the bumhole? Doesn’t that just grind your gears? I would personally be pretty pissed off if they were lazy enough to just leave the slip instead of trying to get the package to me. How rude.
I’ve had to stop the guy literally sprinting back to his truck after knocking once and, leaving a slip. Probably in the same motion as well.

I didn’t watch it but I can’t imagine a reason they would do that since they have to come back or leave the slip at the door anyway. It’s like making extra work for themselves
Thank goodness my deliveries go to a box that does not require this type of interaction or reliance.
He called the local post office and they said they would deliver it tomorrow. As to that being the truth, I’m sure he will update that in a later video.

I assume this has to do with you being stationed overseas, thus eliminating the need for a personal mailbox?
I get my mail at the post office. Always nice to see that yellow card in the p.o. box telling me to go to the desk and pick up a parcel.
Easier said that done if you’re blind, though.
In areas where the mail is not delivered door-to-door, nobody (blind, paralyzed, etc.) gets packages delivered to the door by the USPS. Friends, family, neighbors, or paid assistants have to go to the post office and retrieve the mail. I live in such an area, maybe Mouse does as well?
My mailman is a close family friend. Works out perfect cause he knows if I have a pakage and drops it off first thing in the morning
When I saw my first Uncle Squinty video I thought he was crazy or high on drugs. Then I found out he was blind and enthusiastic. I like him. He has a great sense of humor.
He sure does. He is my favorite snuff reviewer on YouTube, hands down. We need more Uncle Squintys’ out there.
I am trying to look back to his very first post ever. Does one know how I would go about doing that?

Hey Squinty. I didn’t think you were on drugs because of any vision issues (which again I didn’t know you were blind when I saw a first random review). It was the one where you were kinda bouncing around in your chair and in an adjacent chair there was a blow up doll with her legs in the air. So that image, combined with your exuberance, combined with it being the first video of yours that I saw gave me a wrong impression. I have watched many of your older and newer videos since then, I love your reviews. Being a huge Fribourg & Treyer Fan I am happy to see that you have come around on Old Paris, which is one of my favourites, the other being Santo Domingo. Also, curious as to whether you have done a Santo Domingo review? Anyway just wanted to explain myself and I hope you weren’t too hurt by my first impression after seeing only one video. You rock. Keep the reviews coming!!!

Sorry Cigs, I meant to specify his first youtube video post.
No matter how bad they are they are nothing on Royal Fail, they don’t even bring the parcel any more most of the time, just the slip.
First off Conrad, thanks for clarifying. The doll (actually a fabric TeddyBabe, not a blowup) is now living in Jacksonville FL with her new boyfriend. Yes, I got dumped. LOL Regarding the video: Most of it was for dramatic effect, comedy or both. If you listen carefully, you’ll hear lines like “I’ve got snuff up the a**…which by the way is an uncomfortable place to carry it…” etc. But yes, I’m irked by the (substitute) carrier’s lazy carelessness…mainly because this is not the first time this has happened. At least ten times during the last year, the mail carrier did the semi-knock-sprint and left the yellow slip. I’ve complained, even filed a formal written complaint, but my efforts have been fruitless. I am quite certain, after talking with the postmistress, that the package will be delivered tomorrow. My regular carrier returns from vacation tomorrow. Funny sidebar: My regular mail carrier is as deaf as I am blind. He’s Helen… I’m Keller. XP Whenever a sig is required, it’s quite a pantomime… It’s good to be here again. Thanks everybody for joining in on the bitch, piss and moan session regarding the general decline of postal service here in the U.S. and in Britain. Glad to know that I’m not the only one suffering. Paul
I hear ya about the mail delivery guys. It’s no different here in Canada. Although with smaller packages they just get plonked into the mailbox. I’m pretty happy with the F&T line, I also like Abraxas. Not too sure what I should break onto next. This hobby could get expensive.
I have planned the arrival of deliveries and am there to greet them. That being said, I haven’t placed an order in a very long time. I have not seen the video clip either.
Paul, I feel your pain regarding the USPS. I find the “signed for” Royal Air Mail (as used by Mr. Snuff) is rather a PITA if no one happens to be there for a signature. The PO won’t try to re-deliver and requires you to visit the post office the next day to get the package. Oh, and I, too, am glad you’ve rediscovered the joys of Old Paris!
Last time I attempted Old Paris was in London a few decades ago. We didn’t get on well then, but I’d be willing to give it another go. If it turns a bummer, will some kind soul here trade it off my hands?

Yes! And if you’d just like a sample, let me know, I’d be happy to forward a taste.
@mecompco as always a gentleman and a scholar. I’ll take you up on a wee taste. We must do our part to further scientific research whenever the opportunity calls. Merci.

You got it, Daniel, will get a taste out to you ASAP.
