Fender Squier current status & availability - IMPORTANT INFO - HMX update to OP 6/27

[Kingape]

I can promise you in all my years in retail there is no contract that requires filling pre-orders. Ever. From any supplier.

[skyp1e]

LOL.. No worries. Besides, I'm agnostic...

I'm deist myself. I just knew there was something biblical about the whole thing and googled it up.

Whew.. that's a relief..
I thought you might start sending me religious pamphlets on why I should accept the Lord and be saved...
Just Kidding

Maybe we should wait for Mikeyts to reply to this post. He's got all the answers.

My reaction to you was because I was pissed off by your (to paraphrase), "All of you are just saying a lot of nothing. I've been helping people to get the Squier--what have you done? If you aren't helping then you have nothing to contribute to this thread". As I said before, self-righteous BS. While it's awfully good of you to spend your time going out and buying Squiers and shipping them to people abroad (which is what I assume you mean by "helping"), suggesting that any of the rest of us should even want to do that in that condescending "tone" is, once again, out of line.

And I'm not calling you a "noob"--I'm 53 and I don't use the term. I don't know how long you've been playing RB and I don't care--it's entirely irrelevant. But you are new to membership and participation in this forum, no matter how long you may have been reading it, and it irks me that the first thing you choose to do is make a post pointing the finger of shame at participants in this thread for not "helping". Again, the current title of this thread was set by the moderators, to avoid misleading people with an interest in the Squier, and has nothing to do with its topic. The mods don't tell us what to talk about in threads that they didn't start, just what we can't talk about .

I would just like to see others on this Thread help others get their hands on Squiers. The U.S has them, but no other Country does.

Now was that so hard? Polite and completely unoffensive, unlike:

Unless you are helping track down stock and getting it into the hands of people who want the Squier, there's nothing for you to say on this Forum.

Which is what got me started. In any case I'm over it and willing to "bury the hatchet" if you are.

If someone in another country wants to buy something which can only be ordered in the US, there are numerous mail forwarding companies which they can use: US2ME, Bongo US, My US, Access USA--the list goes on and on. They assign customers a US address to have things shipped to and when they receive them they send them on to the customer's address in another country. There's a premium to be paid, but they're going to pay a premium, period--there's no avoiding international shipping costs and duties. It's very possible that those companies can ship it to them for less than any of us, given that as volume shippers they're likely to be paying a lot less than any of us.

My question to you is this..

If someone in another country, sent you message asking for you to help them get a squier, would you?

Unless your answer is yes, in my opinion your words mean NOTHING!

Your self righteous attitude is very evident and clear when responding to my posts.

You are not the only voice on this Forum... Learn to deal with it.

Save yourself from embarrassment. If you want to continue this with me, then do so through PM's. I will spar with you anytime.

The rest on this forum don't need to see our war of words. Besides, this spat is way off topic.

Aries takes the hatchet, and buries it in mikeyts' head..... Hey man, nice shot!

My response would be the same as the end of my last post. I'd send that person a list of US mail forwarding services which could do this for him. Open an account with the service of your choice, order from BB, having it sent to the US address provided you by that service and when they get it they'll send it to you.

What you seem to be suggesting is that I ask that person to send me money and when I get it, that I go to Best Buy, purchase a Squier and take it to some shipper to have it sent to him. Conservatively, this'll take two to three hours of my free time and some amount of gasoline, to help someone in another country obtain a luxury item that he could order for himself using a mail forwarding service. If you have the inclination to spend your time that way, that's cool, but I don't, I doubt that many others do and you're not going to make me feel guilty. There are many thousands of more worthy ways for me to be charitable with my time.

Your self righteous attitude is very evident and clear when responding to my posts.

You seem to be very weak on the concept of self-righteousness. One form of self-righteousness is saying, "I'm doing this good thing, you're not and that makes me better than you". You know, like:

Unless you are helping track down stock and getting it into the hands of people who want the Squier, there's nothing for you to say on this Forum.

I haven't said anything remotely like that.

What are you going on about? I get upset because I hear you telling me and others in this discussion what to do and somehow that implies that I think that I'm the only voice here? (And believe me, I'm not the one embarrassing himself ).

In these last couple of posts, I'm the only one of us whose made a practical suggestion as to how people outside of the US might go about getting a Squier, which is to hire a mail-forwarding service and not to depend on finding a stranger to send them one.

And as for leaving our "war of words" out of the discussion, in one post you say:

You made your point.. Move on..

And I might have left it alone, but then, a few posts later, you say:

Maybe we should wait for Mikeyts to reply to this post. He's got all the answers.

You are such a frickin' troll . I placed you on my ignore list last night but couldn't resist peeking at your posts. I promise you that I will from now on.

...and zombie mikeyts removes said hatchet from his head and shoves it straight up zues' ass... ftw.

1 “Be careful not to display your righteousness merely to be seen by people. Otherwise you have no reward with your Father in heaven. 2 Thus whenever you do charitable giving, do not blow a trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in synagogues and on streets so that people will praise them. I tell you the truth, they have their reward. 3 But when you do your giving, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, 4 so that your gift may be in secret. And your Father, who sees in secret, will reward you” (Matthew 6:1-4).

Sorry, I just couldn't resist.

Nice. I'm impressed.

[lvmathemagician]

Yep, definitely a keyboard player.

Couldn't resist either...and not sorry about it.

Double nice.
