Pass Across America (offical thread)

[TheSilentChamber]

This weather will make anyone feel like crap. Dont know if its like that down your way but its been alternating between hot and cold the last few days here.

[Spocimp]

Package has been mailed DC 03040370000049717333 I put ina note pad and I described the two pictures I took. They are a picture of the school book depository where Lee Harvey Oswald shot JFK from and a picture of the Grassy Knoll over looking the place where he was shot. I placed in a CAO Soprano's the Associate in there to go along with the idea that the mob had some hand in his death.

[TheSilentChamber]

Sure thats the right number, comes up on their site as no record?

[Spocimp]

That was the number given I will call the store tomarrow and make sure that it has been sent.

[Spocimp]

The tracking is working now I guess my post office was a little slow.

[SuperChuck]

DC is generally useless for tracking. It takes a day or so to get into the system, then it just says "Electronic Pickup Scheduled" until it arrives.

Since you're calling out people publically, my response is going to be public.

You need to relax with this pass buddy. Frankly I don't like the way you're treating the new guy Spocimp, he seems like a good guy and is doing everything he should be doing.

You're coming across as being very strict, impatient and untrustworthy in this pass thus far.

The way you're running this pass is going to also SET the PRECEDENT for newbies here at cigarsmokers who have never participated in one before. This is my biggest concern as of now about the direction this pass is going.

Typically passes are not run in this manner, and before jumping off the handle about "DC #'s" please take the time to really understand how they work TSC.

In some cases the DC # isn't always electronically sent to the post office right away, and I have seen in cases the DC # doesn't show up until a day or two later (when in fact its already been sent).

There are other cases (since they reuse DC #'s) that the DC # will have "old information" (ie: showing it's already been delivered to Vegas when it should have been delivered to Texas) and not be accurate either.

Bottom-line, DC #'s are not 100% accurate and in no way should "looking them up" and not seeing the information you're expecting to be any reflection on the person sending them (in this case Spocimp).

Please calm down, trust your fellow BOTL who are participating, and allow people to actually have some fun with this. A small fraction of running a pass is following the rules, but there's much more to it: making new friends on the board, trying new cigars...etc.

Thanks for listening.
