Out of curiosity, which shipping carrier did they use?
fex-ex, its usually the one most corporations in the US use since they're more worldwide than other ones you probably consider more common. Fex-Ex is usually a big business shipper, but they dont change carriers for other purposes 🤷‍♂️

P.S.

Drive seems to have made it in one piece, it definitely took some bumps but luckily Samsung puts it in a tight plastic container inside the original packaging. You'll know from reading the lair anyways if something goes wrong when I try to install it :LOL:

Oh, the desperation of holiday cheer...bah humbug. I've seen that offer before--actually I think its the old yearly subscription price.

If anything thats makes me want to cancel my sub because its likely going to be a terrible year :LOL:

This drive has been giving me shit all night...mixed with a string of clumsiness that almost made me delete important shit like 4 times.

In the case of the drive it's likely my drive swap switches, I noticed that was going before this...i'll plug it in on a dedicated sata later to be sure--but, the top plastic casing of the drive DID look like it'd been popped open and I got the feeling it was refurbished from the minute I opened the package...I'm not overly concerned since a dell purchase would be covered under the warranty and they're pretty good about replacing products fast--but the data loss is your own problem--comes with relying on an SSD.

The good part here is that DAZ assets compress to the extreme so I can keep a backup of my whole library on the drive I'm copying it off of at likely a quarter of the size in case something went wrong (I have somewhere between 1-2 TB for a downloaded library now--no joke to lose that)...I'm always backing the game up so i'm not worried about that part

You're lucky, because they didn't give away such a game!
Didn't even catch that one :LOL: I already activated it so I didnt really think about it...didnt really think about giving my other key away either tbh, just collecting dust until the devs revoke them these days, digital keys are becoming garbage before they can become theft, takes the incentive out of keeping a bag of gifts around...they may be hurting the market by doing it but they're also hurting trading and gifting, in the end they'll likely succeed in slow quiet phases that avoid raging crowds...and sales will drop and bundle sites will go under, they're waging war against themselves without realizing it over a cost paid to someone elses profit made greed based argument (a cost they decided on), which makes sense while profit goes up at first--but in the end its ultimtely a fools self suicide over the thought of what they 'might' have made...no thought to the fact they might have sold 100 times less and remained unknown.

Human nature, we do it all day long...stab each other for nickels and dimes instead of all standing together in a big enough crowd to actually make a difference against big companies. Its the one thing reddit got right...they just use it like a bunch of babe's with super soakers instead of an army with mortars :LOL:

Sorry for the rant...had alot of pent up thoughts about how the government and corporations actually slaps our wrist for behavior while the entire world basically got put into one giant room where we can all discuss the things we hate--yet we scream and forget or just walk away and never gather to put all these issues into anything organized enough to actually fight back.

I finally got my SSD working and realized after cloning my drive that it wouldnt work because its not UEFI based (being only 500GB) and my new drive needs to be GPT because its over the 2TB limit for MBR, a detail I seem to always forget until its too late lol.

I started fixing it, shit went wrong again...and then I realized my blank DVDs and my Windows DVDs were buried in boxes again even though I grabbed the drive one day like an idjut. I been up way too long, and i'm pissed off as hell from all the shit going wrong...so I'm gonna start again tomorrow when I wake up.

Cursed with bad luck would be a polite description of my life...pretty sure I got witches and warlocks hanging over my shoulder every day just to feed off the misery they make me put up with :ROFLMAO:

There's many giveaways for it in the IG Giveaways section, enter as much as you can.🤞
I really like it because they blocked mine and a few other countries so they wouldn't get the global keys, but after every giveaway, everything is literally littered with these keys because they are taken exclusively not to use them themselves later.
