late rant

[(Anonymous)]

So I ordered my masks from Amazon at the beginning of April since everybody here is hoarding them. Get told delivery range of May 1-31.

May rolls around. Get told delivery date of May 22.

Wake up today to a notification that masks are detained by customs and will not be delivered, and refund will be provided.

Ex-fucking-squeeze me? Number one, excuse my fucking Karen, but I want my fucking masks, not a goddamn refund.

Number two, if these masks were going to come from overseas.... that's the kind of thing to fucking disclose before I order, or at least some time before it gets detained.

Don't get me wrong, if something were sketchy with the masks, it's probably best they were held up, as I'd rather be stuck with homemade masks than stuck with a virus, but it really fucking sucks to be waiting all this time only to be told your masks aren't coming. You KNOW there is going to be a second wave of this. I want to be prepared as much as possible.

I did order the generic masks you get at drug stores but those won't be here until June (well, June 1-30, but you KNOW it'll be pushed to near July), and with my luck, those will probably get detained too because those are the ones I was told ARE coming from overseas.

Until then, I guess I'll depend on looking like a stupid bandit from a bad Western. I don't suppose anyone knows of a company in the US that isn't going to get their materials from overseas? Clearly, I can't rely on Amazon this time.

If you’re not a health care worker, just buy washable fabric ones. Try to get them with at least one layer of cotton flannel (there are ones with pockets you can put a piece of air filter in instead, but flannel works pretty much the same and the whole thing can go in the wash) and a wire nose piece so you can adjust it to fit snugly.

Um, I am trying to get washable fabric ones. Those were the ones that were detained. They are not available anywhere else. Hence why I am ordering them online.

AYRT—huh. I’ve made a couple of my own and my boss has made tons, but some of my coworkers have been buying them off etsy without issue. And there was at least one FS anon who was planning to make and sell masks because they’d been laid off and were ineligible for unemployment, maybe they’ll post again. Good luck and I hope you get some masks soon.

Are you in the UK? NHS needs them more, Apparently. Friend of mine - decent girl, not given to gossip or bullshit artistry, but still this is a second hand source so take it how you will - who deals with import and export licences says we're confiscating anything with medical value coming into the uk. Masks primarily. Because the NHS needs them.

Oh, duh, your in the us. My bad should have finished reading before replying.

Thanks, I'll check these ones out.

You can buy fabric ones pretty easily on Etsy, many of which are coming from the US and shipping fairly quickly.

Honestly, walking around like a bandit from an old Western sounds good to me.
