Seed order funny

Just got an order of seeds in.  Not going to say from who cause they have a good produce and treat me well.  This is just a funny.  Seeds were in a really nice mailing standard mailing envelope, one with a pre printed return address and a window.

That envelope was wrapped in news paper and a crinkled piece of paper.  That was put into a larger bubble wrap envelope.  That crinkled piece of paper, ye it was their water bill.  I wrote and asked if they wanted it back.  They are so embarrassed, offered free seeds.  I was like, no no, not complaining just thought you should know your water bill is due.
 
I just received a order from peppers by mail and was blown away by the service. Not only was they running a special half off free shipping but it looks like they paid more for the shipping than I'did for the seeds.
Well packed and great communication too!

It does not end there, the sent me some freebies. Hells yeah!
Jigsaw,can't wait to try that out after I read the description.

My money is hard earned and I pay attention to where I spend it.
So I remember great service.
Definitely will get my business again.
 
Flaming Youth, thanks for the kudos.  On shipping and prices, it all evens out & our main thing is growing produce.  So I look for fun things like the Valentines Day sale you mentioned.  Next year, hoping to surprise a few people with heart shaped boxes.
 
This is hilarious. AJ, i frequently laugh out loud when reading your posts, and it has garnered me some odd looks from others when i'm in public.

Just to be clear, i laugh WITH, not at you. Thanks, man. There's enough reasons to cry out there. Keep doing what you do.
 
mikeg, thanks.  I have three children.  One is 9, one is 11, and one is 85.  If not for a sense of humor, I could not survive.

Haha happened to me with some stuff on European graigslist type of site. Bought used Hella car beamers and they were shipped with waste paper padding, including receipts, bills, letters from social security etc

They ordered a handscuffs an anal starter kit and some small stuff. People may do whatever they please in the privacy of their own homes, but people should be really careful with their mail. There's a lot of personal stuff in there.

Never told them though, would be a bit akward.

Edit: was in the 50 shades of Grey hype era..
 
:Rofl: that's funny!

I know whenever I get a box from someone, I always look at the newspaper, advertisements, comics or flyers.

Wait. A water bill? I always forget that the city folk have to pay for water. :)
 
Pfeffer, lived in Germany, dated German, oh dear god my American heart could barely take it.

Scoville, we are as rural as rural can be and they FORCE us to be connected to county water.  We don't have to use it, but we have to be connected.  I think the minimum use is $5.00 per month.  On the bright side, former owner converted the cistern into a hidden room behind a bedroom closet.  Today it is my grow room, but I suspect it was a grow room long before I owned the house.  Seriously, the cistern came with a hidden door and 60 amps ( 3 x 20 amp breakers).

House still on county water, but I am one filtration solution away from running our pond water into the house.  No well, on a ridge.
