Realistically a credit card company doing a chargeback is more likely to get things done.

Tunicate posted:Realistically a credit card company doing a chargeback is more likely to get things done. It's this. Request the chargeback, explain to the credit card rep exactly what you told us. Include emails/receipts as requested by the dispute officer and let the card company do the rest. The card companies have both the resources and the ability to aggregate data on merchants that gives them a much better position to punish bad actors, so just chargeback and never order from that merchant again. EDIT: As a sidenote, I've noticed this kind of behavior popping up a lot with smaller merchants that have storefronts on online marketplaces. I think that a lot of these guys don't actually have the products they are advertising, but instead are engaging in some kind of amateur arbitrage where they print the shipping label while ordering the actual product from another vendor who is selling it for cheaper. I see a lot of smaller merchants print the label within a day of order but sometimes sit on the order after that for over a week or more before it ships. Recently I've encountered several instances where they never ship the drat order after printing the label and I end up having to cancel the order after like 3 weeks, so I think supply chain issues might be loving these guys, or there is essentially giant chains of arbitrage where no one has the drat product and everyone is waiting for the next guy down the line to ship it.

Expect to get banned by the market site if you do a charge back. If it's a site that has digital goods, you may lose access to them. I'm not telling you not to do a charge back here. If their dispute system is useless, I wouldn't bother shopping with them again. Unless this is AliExpress, in that case you probably need to wait another month.

What ballpark am I looking at for an update to my will? The only things that have changed are the home in which we live and the person we would like to care for our daughter should we both die - MIL turns out is completely bonkers. Everything else is the same, but I don't know A) if the new local firm can contact my old firm across the US to get an electronic copy to edit or B) if I'm making grand assumptions regarding the ease of changing these two things. Is 300-400 too low? Should I expect to pay a grand?

Depending on complexity and geography, $200-500 is within expectations. For us as a unmarried couple in MI, $300/ea, to redo after we get married, $300.

You're looking for a codicil. You might be able to get one from the original firm if you're still in the same state. It's essentially an addendum to the original will that leaves everything intact except for the specific changes i nthe codicil.

i thought your kids are sold during probate to settle your estate's debts  edit: kids aren't property. They don't get willed to/inherited by anyone. You can put "I want Grandma to take the kids" in your will, and courts will take it very seriously, but ultimately the courts decide what is best for the kids. If Grandma is 90 and bedridden, chances are she's not getting your 3 year old. And yeah, the person you put in the will doesn't have to take them. You can't force your kids on anyone. NOT A LAWYER but where children go after you die is a wildly different process than deciding who gets your beanie babies. DaveSauce fucked around with this message at 15:37 on Jan 10, 2023 |

Even without final legal effect, putting your kids in a officialish document is good for reducing confusion and family drama. Like if my nephew was orphaned, I wouldn't want him to go to the super catholic relatives, and I'm pretty sure his parents would agree, but "this is what his parents wrote down" is a lot more diplomatic than having to talk why to family/a court

Yeah I guess I should have been more clear on that aspect. Putting the names of who you want to take care of your kids in your will is a very good idea. If you have kids, you should absolutely include the names of your preferred caretakers. Just... don't go forward in life assuming that that's the final word on the matter, because it's way more complicated than deciding who gets whatever earthly possessions you leave behind.

I got prescribed opioids for a recent toe injury, however I haven't used them all. If I get injured in the future and use these currently prescribed opioids for pain, would I get in trouble legally? If so, is there a time limit (30 days, 6 months, a year etc) to when I should dispose of them? My wife likes to hoard medications like zofran for future emergency use but I'm wary about opioids because they pop up on drug tests. I don't want my legal prescription to become illegal without my knowing and make me fail a drug test. I'm not going to abuse them or sell them or anything like that, it's literally just the thought of if there's an injury in the future then having them on hand to manage pain until we can get to the doctor might be a good plan. If this is totally illegal (which I'm thinking it is but I don't know how long until it's illegal hence the question) then I'll go ahead and dispose of them this weekend since I don't need them anymore.

No sense in tossing them in the garbage when you can make a few bucks. Don't worry, I'm not a narc.

A guardianship court will determine what's in the best interest of the children, regardless of your wishes, but the fact that you name someone in a will would at least be mildly influential in that process.

But I am aware of cases where people have popped positive on drug tests for legally prescribed drugs that they used for something other than what the prescription was originally for, and lost government security clearances over it. So at any rate is is possible under at least some circumstances for the government to cause you problems.

Can you pass off a failed test because of a new poppy seed diet

I only ever seen that tried once. The judge was rolling his eyes as the expert testified "Technically it's possible but you would need to eat four hundred large muffins in about seven minutes." Then the judge asked "What if I ate ur mom's one really big muffin for seven minutes? Lol gotem" Seriously though the government recommends 2000ng/ml cutoff for "positive" results for the drugs that hit positive after consuming poppy seed muffins. It's extremely unlikely that any amount of muffins can get you that high of a number. Some testing methods have a cutoff of 300ng/ml which can get a "positive" but generally only if the poppy seeds are not baked with the product. So, like, a muffin probably won't hit 300ng/ml but a Danish might if the raw poppy seeds are mixed with the jam then liberally applied to the Danish. I used to do a lot of drug DUIs.

I think it's reasonable to save excess medication in case you aggravate the injury and the law mostly isn't worried about you taking prescribed pain meds. You aren't supposed to prescribe yourself medication for new injuries though.
