  • BOTL UPCOMING MAINTENANCE

    Hi Everyone, as mentioned in my introduction post, BOTL needs quite a bit of updating, patching and whatever else I might come across. Over time BOTL may be unreachable on occasion as I do migrations or updates, etc. Just be patient - we'll be back! I'll generally try to keep these maintenances until later in the evenings.

    trust me, I switch banks like I switch clothes. what pisses me off is that I switched this account from wells fargo before they started doing that, and when I went to chase I especifically asked "do you charge a fee for overseas transactions?". they said no, twice. I have to double check...

    btw, I'm going to wait until all the money is turned in to place the order. I only had enough money in my pp to cover my chunk and then some. and if I deposit into it or transfer money from it we are going to lose 3-4 business days. I also want to make it less confusing for sam and order the...

    okay, I called. of course they couldn't see my account because their system is down. chase is merging with bank one and it has been a clusterfuck. the guy I spoke to said that regardless if the transaction was done in dollars or a foreign currency, if it took place overseas they will charge...

    Headed to Vegas, which 5 cigars do I take

    first I would pack would be the partagas shorts. I have only tried the siglo I, the partagas short and the bolivar corona junior from our last buy in that sequence. the short was noticeably better. the siglo I is very good, but I was really disappointed with the bolivar, I was expecting it...

    yes, my bank started charging me for any overseas transaction. I have some pending transactions, but as soon as they post I'll paste it up. actually, I can look at my old statements on .pdf forms and I see only the original amount. maybe they eventually credit me back that charge, but...

    it's funny how you get different figures depending on when you add percentages and shit. sorta like that math problem about the guy checking into the hotel but only having $35 for 5 nights but if you work it out one way it comes out to $42 or something like that. the moral of the story is...

    b.j. I'm looking at my chicken stratch and this is what I did: $361 for the cab - 10% = $324.90 plus around $16 for duties (again, I'm just assuming fedex will double up the durties they typically charge for a dress box anywhere from $6.85 to $8.75 is what I've seen since march)...

    I bet you they are losing some business to intact vendors. I've been noticing that a lot of guys are getting into the game and really competing against them. this all abodes well for the customer.

    Opinions on vendors

    ha ha ha, b.j. welcome to my world. it is a pain in the ass to clear that up with the bank. call the customer service help line and tell them you suspect they froze your account due to suspicious activity. they patch you to their fraud division. before you call have the exact amount and the...

    Opinions on vendors

    b.j. -- keeplighting is essentially promo. owned by the same company, phoenicia trading. something about the client database running on an outdated version that doesn't allow new clients or something, I think I remember rena telling me that. you get a sligh discount but I've been told that's...

    michael -- I was thinking about that by telling them I was on vacation during the promotion, but I was afraid they were going to call me out because everytime I visit their site it says "welcome back, jorge patino" anyway, won't hurt to ask. so I'm going to email them. btw, does anyone...
