Mr. JD Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 My Rush package is off! But the post office is in bad shape. While there, I mentioned how our postal service has gone downhill. She told me that anything that used to take 2-3 days, now takes 3-4 because they have many facilities have been closed down. I wanted to mention that their absurd retirement policy contributed to the demise, but thought it best to keep that thought to myself. Anyway, just keep that in mind when you post things. It takes longer than it used to.Glad I sent mine Saturday. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. JD Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 I was going to send a copy of the Rolling Stone but I figured they are probably getting a lot of those. I sent this instead. On a recent trip to LeStudio, I took this picture of Lac Perry located behind the studio. A little more unique. Maybe it will put a smile on their face.http://www.jd-photography.net/pics/IMG_2314_8_2_a.jpg 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorraine Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 I had nothing else to send except for my Rush book and I was advised here not to send the book. I could have just sent a blank piece of paper I guess. Maybe I should have. That way they could have all written me a little love note. :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember reading how they would get in a boat and row away home at night. That's funny. I was just thinking what a beautiful professional photo that is. Then I remembered that's what you are - a professional photographer!!! :) Edited July 13, 2015 by Lorraine 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Expected delivery date" doesn't mean a thing. Someone sent me a package first class priority mail with an expected delivery date for Friday. I got it the following Tuesday.

Well hopefully it works out. Last time they gave me the expected date it was there that same date. Fingers crossed... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueschica Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 (edited) Rush fans are everywhere, bwa ha ha! :D I went to the Post Office late this afternoon and the whole time this very tense, very nice suit and tie guy was two people behind me, complaining about how much it costs to mail things to Canada! I had brought my autographed AFTK album with me to thank my favorite postal worker that helped me with it in June and I took it out and showed him. Wouldn't you know, the suit and tie guy came running up, completely different attitude, he said he was so excited to see an AFTK album after so many years and he was so excited that it was autographed. He kept telling me what a gem that record was and how wonderful Rush was, I kept saying, "Um, yes, I know; it's nice to meet another Rush fan!" but his eyes were only for the album cover ha ha! He said it made his day though! Edited July 14, 2015 by blueschica 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rush1000 Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 Question for those who have had success and had return tracking on their packages: When did the packages first show return tracking activity? Day of show, day after, or past that? Reason I ask is that I sent to Utah (they said they would pass mail on to the tour) and it arrived Wednesday. Just checked tracking and it shows the return package arrived at the post office just before 10pm Utah time on the 13th, day of the show there. I assume they sign items in the afternoon around the time of soundcheck....so maybe possible they got it earlier and had venue mail them out. Just hoping third time is the charm after two previous failures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorraine Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 I have a question too. How long does it take to get your package back? Does the venue send them back out bit by bit or all at once? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EagleMoon Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 IME, they'll mail the packages back the day after the show. You can expect the same kind of travel time as it took to get there. Some people have had to wait longer, I would assume that it's because the people who are mailing the packages back are lazyasses. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorraine Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 If they do sign mine, I hope they don't sign across their faces. i bet Neil does though. Just to be Neil. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
conan1982 Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 I called KeyArena in Seattle and the rep there told me that they will forward mail to the band. She gave me this address: KeyArena Att. Rush305 Harrison St.Seattle, WA98109 Thank you very much! You should modify that address as follows: Rush--R40 Tourc/o Liam BirtKeyArena305 Harrison St.Seattle, WA98109 That's the format most of *us have been using, and the success rate has been pretty good.

Catch The Mystery Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 Yeah, the 4 shows I saw were soooo awesome.
