Running my own business isn't all Unicorn farts and rainbows

Running my own business isn't all Unicorn farts and rainbows - Tom Ray's Day 200729

Here is a story about a problem I had recently with an order that got lost in the mail and how I tried to solve it. Running my own business online and shipping out pop-culture and retro things from eBay, Mercari and Facebook Marketplace can hit a snag from time to time. Sometimes I just have to call around and do a little detective work.

This is a video of my daily life since I decided to sell collectibles and pop-culture items I collect on eBay to help support my art career instead of starting a Patreon or taking on freelance work.

December snow.

It's snowed a few times this year I don't know why this time felt different.

Still dealing with items.

I had to create a claim on the USPS website for the package in New York. And I had hoped I could ship my laptop from home but the return instructions said it had to be sent from the UPS facility.

Missing label.

When I took the label back to the post office he told me I need to bring my own tape to put it on the package next time. I'm hoping there won't be a next time.

Paint run.

A few years ago scheduling MRI's would consume our whole day . Now we were happy that we could just do something to help other people in some way. Even if it was just driving to get the paint they needed. And we did make it back in time for for Merijoy's appointment.
