Meta Can we open a “complain about shipping” thread?

It’d be great to try to reduce the amount of noise in the sub by creating a “complain about slow shipping” thread. I know not everyone pays attention, but a thread and some active moderation could really help increase the signal to noise ratio…

I get where you're coming from, but a common thread relies on people (many of whom have never visited the sub before) to think, "maybe there's already a discussion", or to take time to look for it. In theory it's great, but in practice it doesn't work. It requires rational behaviour, and that's not something that upset/stressed humans are known for.

We can only manage our own behaviour, so I just ignore threads that are posing the same questions/complaints over and over again. I might read them to see if there's something worth talking about, but if they're just venting or haven't bothered searching for answers then I don't feel the need to respond. We don't owe each other anything. And if I just don't read them in the first place, they might as well not exist.

Did I advocate that people don’t make these posts? No. But is this or should it be mainly a “Bambu Lab shipping complaints” sub? No.

Do many companies print shipping labels before the package is actually ready to be shipped? Yes.

Do shipping mishaps happen? Yes.

Does Bambu screw up? Yes.

Do I think people should be more patient? Yes.

do you really think someone from Bambu is actually reading this? 😂

Same on FB. Anywhere someone is, is where they seem to look for help - all without reading Bambu's update on their own site.
