I think this qualifies as a yoink as is said around here. I found a store in town that has demo bands that they're clearing out. They didn't have Horizon, as their site said, but they did have Delft in stock so I managed to get that for $37 CAD. looks brand new to me, comes in box, but it's a weird box with no band picture on the front. I'm still pleased. Sorry for the terrible lighting in the photos.

Delft is a great color. Best Buy actually had these for $25 last month, incorrectly labeled as "Blue" so that was even more yoink-able!

So, I’m 0 for 5 on bands that were meant to be delivered today. Three of them left my local distribution center at 4:30 this morning on the same truck, the fourth is still down in LA two distribution centers away, and the fifth teleported back to Georgia (2,000 miles away) within 30 minutes of arriving at the same distribution center that the first three left. At least, that’s what the tracking said.

So that lead to a depressing trip to the mailbox.

Also, unrelated... my CNY AirPods have supposedly been handed off to the USPS in Reno, NV. But the tracking says expected tomorrow. I don’t believe them.

They definitely didn’t in Canada. Best Buy here has pretty much all cheap third party bands and no legit ones.

You should contact Postmaster General Louis DeJoy...I hear he really cares about customer satisfaction and is definitely not trying to run the Postal Service into the ground to turn public opinion against it and and to benefit private logistics investments he definitely doesn’t have.
 
Oh have we come around on a certain beloved public servant? 😉
I cannot comment on public servants outside of the forum set up for that purpose 🤐

I was speaking in terms of time. It's already after 4pm on 26th January here (though technically there is one time zone ahead of us). And it's warm outside - which is not a given here by any means.

One of my bands made it from San Jose California Saturday after 1 pm to back water Louisiana today at 2pm. One of mine from MD I ordered on the 10th of December stopped tracking on the 18th of December magically appeared today after I requested a refund on Friday since it had been a month without any movement in tracking. The other two arrived in five days from the day I purchased them. I feel your pain.

Yes, yes you do. I didn't realize how much I NEEDED this band until it was upon my wrist. I didnt quite capture the brilliance of the red portion of it, but the maroon/burgundy portion is even richer than the plum SL.

Just downloaded Discord to my MBP (never used it before). I don't see a community formed yet...would love a place to BS about bands and stuff without the mods' heavy-handed policing.

I swore I was not buying leather loops... then you go showing this off.... I might break that promise. I already broke the no metal bands promise...
The color matches the band style in a way that Saddle and Cali Poppy kinda don’t. Can’t wait to see what a red or orange looks like. Could be legendary or the worst 80s vibe. I can’t wait to see it in the sun.
