Teejay, they don't prey. They provide a service that allows rural residents to have something other than AOL. Maybe you should be angry at cable companies who can't be bothered to provide any kind of service to you and other rural residents. Maybe you could go to your county's board of supervisors and ask that they bring better Internet to the area. Snapping at the people who give you something when no one else will is pretty silly. And yes, it's expensive because the technology is expensive. If it's so intolerable to you, then dump it and go with AOL or learn to live without Internet. *I am not a Hughesnet employee or representative.

It's a pretty flexible anthem, and maybe we'll skip Chuckles and get Will. I can't imagine Charles wants the post. @debbie.jean.bro wrote: It's "MY country tis of thee," not "OUR country..." In any event, I suppose the Brits will have to change it to "God Save the King" when they get stuck with (shudder) King Charles.

No worries, Hessy. I think you posted in the right place, and you will hear on this site -- keep checking, and if more than a week passes, post again. I'm tagging the reps again, but remember they may have other people ahead of you so it could take a couple of days. @Amanda, @Liz

What exactly would you like the company to do, hessy41? I'm sure @Amanda or @Liz can check your account notes and provide some help, but it would be a good idea if you stated your expectations clearly.

I'm seriously considering this. @C0RR0SIVE wrote: Could always build a MailBox... We have a steel reinforced wooden crate with a keypad lock on it that goes to the end of our drive when we are expecting oversized deliveries... Ya know, large car parts, tv's, that sorta thing. Saves everyone headaches, and the delivery guys always know the code as they are making constant deliveries here. Have never had an issue with theft... I would love to see a thief try to take a 200 pound crate that's bolted to a concrete pad! Would be even more fun to watch them try to break it open.

I don't have a Pictures shortcut on the start menu.... I wonder if the configuration is related to brand. @GabeU wrote: I just put it back to start getting in the habit of using it. Actually, as of about two weeks ago I started using the "Pictures" shortcut that's on the left when you open the Start Menu. Up until that point I would always click on the "User Files" folder on the desktop, then click on Pictures. I've REALLY got to start getting into the habit of using the built in shortcuts. 😛

A lot of these posts that throw around terms such as "unethical" and "fraud" show considerable ignorance on the part of the poster: ignorance of industry standards and industry regulation, for example, and often even ignorance about the meaning of the very terms they're using. It may be that for these people false accusations are more comfortable and easier than self-responsibility. Interestingly, they do not seem to realise how unethical their own behaviour is.

It's very possible that the bundle was offered by a marketeer and not by either company -- the OP should go back to that marketeer and complain to them. *I am not a Hughesnet employee or representative. This is a customer-to-customer tech support community, and I am a customer.

There's also the added issue of these disgruntled people placing posts (which invariably are full of misleading and downright incorrect content) in old threads, where they do not fit, help no one, and do nothing but clutter up the place. @MarkJFine wrote: Like with most services, you pay a month in advance, so the month was already paid for. Therefore, leaving the account open during the period is extremely ethical and certainly not illegal. It would be unethical to shortchange the customer by turning it off early - what you suggested. Your assumption is misleading, misinformed, and downright libellous. This seems to be characteristic of many of your previous posts (e.g.: spam). Do you specifically look for things you can provide fictional, accusatory posts such as these? Are you actually trying to get kicked off? I'd suggest that if you have a personal vendetta to take it up elsewhere. What you're doing is not helpful and certainly not what this forum is designed for.

I have a gated yard, and the postmaster told me the postmen aren't allowed to go into gated yards, because there have been severe incidents involving dogs. The UPS and FedEx people seem to have no such constraint, as they leave packages on my porch all the time. I don't blame them, though, for looking out for the safety of their employees, and I'm glad they have this policy. This is one of the reasons I was looking 'round the Web yesterday, pricing extra large mailboxes. I'm seriously considering getting one to set up outside the gate. @GabeU wrote: @maratsade wrote: I had the package in the rain thing happen a week or two ago. I've been lucky when it comes to this. With UPS, if it's raining and the item is small, they'll put it between my screen and inside door. If it's too large to do that they'll put it in a bag and on the end of the porch. They'll also bag it if it's not yet raining, but looks like it will. My UPS guy is pretty good. When they use SurePost, the UPS/USPS service, it ends up at my post office, as I have a PO Box due to a snow plow taking out my mailbox a couple of winters ago and me not having installed another one since it happened. I really only have one place I can put it, and in order to put a new one there I have to dig the 100lb blob of concrete from the old one out of the ground.

I remember the My Computer icon from before, but not with Windows 10. In one of the Win 10 updates, they actually put the File Explorer icon on the taskbar. Edit: You have a Pro, though, so your setup may be different from my Home edition setup. @GabeU wrote: You click on "This PC" on your desktop None of my laptops came with the "This PC" icon on the desktop. I have to click the File Explorer icon... That's interesting. It's probably just the way I set mine up and I forget that I do that. Sometimes it's called "Computer" or "My Computer" as well. I actually had to look for File Explorer as I've never used it before, though I often see it mentioned. But, yeah, you can get to C (Local Disk) through Start > Windows System > File Explorer and then clicking on This PC in the tree on the left.

Yes, it may have something to do with the sorting -- I don't really know how this works -- doesn't the mail carrier check the mail to see if it's really going the right address? Don't they know the neighbourhood after daily delivery for years? In my area sometimes they don't come at all. You see the flags up on the mailboxes for a couple of days sometimes. I wonder sometimes if it's such a crappy job that the carrier just couldn't care less. And yes, definitely a simple GPS will tell you where you are. This is why I think sometimes it's a willful act.

I have met a lot of neighbours this way, by driving to their homes with their mail, which was left in my mailbox. I see this is not unique to my area. Sounds like it's high time to overhaul the whole agency. Amazon delivery disasters (continued): I have no problem with them overnighting to do a "free delivery" SmartPost type of thing with the USPS. My problem is how my regular mail is delivered to the wrong address a minimum of 2-3 times a month, ever since they closed the local post office for deliveries. Having it happen to an Amazon delivery is always a possibility and has happened twice in the past year. It's really bad when you see "delivered" on both the Amazon app as well as the USPS app, and there's nothing on your porch.

I got a call the next day -- the postmaster left a message for me to call back. I called and he said that "the package went to the wrong carrier." I also mentioned the package left out in the rain. He said maybe it wasn't raining when the carrier left it. Fantastic. So now that my carrier knows I've complained, I expect everything to either get lost (because it was shipped to a carrier in Morocco by mistake, or accidentally placed on a space shuttle), or to arrive damaged.

If you cut power to things that use the net, then they won't be able to reach the net, so no data will be used. I would make sure they're completely off, even unplugged. *I am not a Hughesnet employee or representative. This is a customer-to-customer tech support community, and I am a customer.

I had the package in the rain thing happen a week or two ago. I was very lucky that the item was not damaged because there was all kinds of styrofoam inside that protected the item and it wasn't wet, but the box was soaked thru and disintegrated. They didn't even bother to leave it on the porch; they just left it by a gate, in the monsoon rain. The instances of "attempted delivery but no one was around" have increased too. They say a notice was left, but there was no notice. My suspicion is, the postman didn't come at all that day but couldn't say that on the record, so they fibbed. This has happened when there are actually people at home, too. I wonder if working conditions at the USPS are so bad that people are angry and don't care anymore. Perhaps if the whole outfit were privatised there might be better quality control. I complained and today I have to put in a call to someone at the post office. I imagine that the wet box was the very last delivery to my address -- from now on everything will mysteriously fail to arrive.....

This is it: Note: In many areas Saturday and Sunday delivery may be available. If weekend delivery is available to your destination, it will be specified on the product page and/or during checkout. Delivery estimates for FREE Prime Two-Day shipments to destinations that don’t have weekend delivery are based on two business day transit times, not including Saturday or Sunday. I have weekend delivery in my area, and the Prime 2 day delivery guarantee should apply. I hope they ditch the USPS, though, because I think they ARE messing with the system. Whenever I place an order, the checkout page displays a "Guaranteed delivery on [date]" legend, in green. Guranteed is guaranteed. They do not say "within 2 days" or "in up to 3 days." Edit: I wish I could select the carrier from the checkout page, because I would not use the USPS at all. In over 20 years I've been an Amazon customer, I have never had a problem with their deliveries when they send via UPS.
