There’s a thought. Do they provide a local number?
November 18, 2025 at 1:16 AM
Yeah a bit more complicated as they won’t send anything overseas. Apparently a $1 stamp is too much for them and their system won’t handle the “international number”. Grrr

As for the scientific supplies, I don’t mind paying I just have to be able to pay!

the mail, or 3) send her the paper copies and I’ll pay them when I’m down there every 4 or so months. They simply wrote back and said net terms of invoice are 10 days. How can I pay an invoice if I don’t even know how much it is for? Double SMH

This also on top of a medical provider in Australia who insists on sending PIN codes to access invoices to my mother’s phone number. Trouble is, she has dementia and can’t work her mobile beyond calling. I told them they have 3 options; 1) send me the codes; 2) send me the paper copies through

FTR the shipped item was dangerous goods, and I’m not certified to return ship.

No response after 3 days. Wrote to the company to ask for a secure link to pay with credit card.

Today, a week later, company emails to say “this is overdue! You must pay now!”

Umm… so it’s your mistake you sent something I didn’t order then you can’t provide me with a way to pay. right SMH

Really regretting never publishing cyanophage and cyanobacterial diversity on vertical gradients in the profundal carved sediments of FGL… super cool ecosystem!
