More likely to come soon. Thanks... I've noticed an increase in orders headed overseas using eBay GSP so I was wondering. In the last 19 days, I've sent out three that were headed to Canada, one to China, and one to Australia. I am wondering what happens when a nation closes its borders before the mail is delivered. Could be interesting to see how eBay handles it because there could be quite a few claims. With GSP it's on their end if I understand it correctly once they process the order in Kentucky.

I guess it's too late for the other stuff, although I opened the packages and even lysoled the scissors... I have a tendency to over clean...but it doesn't seem like even that is enough. From everything I've read and heard, thoroughly washing your hands is essential. I've also heard that a bucket of water with a 10% bleach solution is an effective cleaning measure (which can also be used in a spray bottle)...

Buzzetta Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 I'm in contract to have my bathroom redone during this time period. Due to village code and the reality that there was no way to hide the dumpster, I had to go through the town and used a local company to do it. My main concern now is whether or not this is going to get done and how long it will take. At some point they have to redo the plumbing and will be shutting the water supply off to the house for a bit. They start April 8th greggy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Village Hall is closed for the foreseeable future so the permits are unobtainable right now. They are holding $7,000 of my money right now which was for the downpayment of on the supplies and everything else. The entire job was to cost around $22,000-$23,000. They do not have a projected start date. Worse than that though, the company temporarily laid off their employees including my service representative. I asked if he was alright and he said that they were told to hopefully be out of work for no more than 8-10 weeks. I don't know how guys like my service rep are expected to get by like this.

musicmeta Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 I just wash my hands immediately after handling the mail and disposing of what I don't need. lizards2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Zipper Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 I have to think the Post Office is randomly sampling and if there were any instances of this being spread by mail, we would have heard by now. That said, as an extra precaution I am tossing all mail into a 1 day quarantine (a large paper bag in the corner). If it is something I want to open immediately, I am spraying with Lysol. Anything that has been in transit for 2 or more days is fine on the inside. The virus would not survive the trip.

Gaard Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 I'm still getting loads of junk mail. lizards2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrispyC66 Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 I’m curious if anyone took these precautions with their mail and packages before CV19? There are plenty of other pathogens to worry about as well. Maybe this is part of the new normal we are being told about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lizards2 Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 I don't even do it now. I remove the packaging and wash my hands. Even the filthy carp from France, NY and NJ. And especially NC. D84 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
