I am a little irked about @DS9Doc. I rarely donate to projects, but I am a huge #StarTrekDS9 fan, and so I donated. I forgot there were perks involved, until I received an email telling me that a shipping label had been printed in my name to receive a DVD. 1/x

I mean, that was really nice, because I totally forgot there would be any perks, and wasn't really expecting any. But I was dismayed because the address @DS9Doc sending to was an old one in Florida, and not my current Bronx address. 2/x

I immediately reached out to @DS9Doc and was told it was too late. They had already shipped (even though my email just said a label had been made, and it had not been picked up yet). They had asked us for updated addresses, but not me. I never received an email asking that. 3/x

My only options were to hope that the post office would change the address for me (they won't), or that there's still forwarding four years after I've moved from that address (there isn't). But I was too late, @DS9Doc told me. 4/x

But then I get an email an hour ago — days after my communication with @DS9Doc — telling me I have a tracking number, and that my package has been shipped. If it was shipped this weekend, why couldn't my address be changed? It hadn't sent out yet. 5/x

I mean, it's not the end of the world, but still, I was looking forward to seeing the doc. And if $58 got me a chance to see it, I would like that chance. And I'm disappointed that this couldn't be fixed, when it seemed it actually COULD have been fixed. @DS9Doc 6/x

I have heard great things about @DS9Doc, however, and look forward to when I might actually get a chance to see it. And I hope the people living at my old Florida address enjoy it as well. 7/x
