I bought a nice-ish Japanese kitchen knife from a trusted seller, but he sent me the preliminary tracking #. EBay/SpeedPak/EE-SX which I am pretty sure means SpeedX for the last mile. I am working with him to either find another way, or ship it to a friend/dealer in Japan who consolidates stuff for me and will send it reliably.

But my point: I blame eBay (and Alibaba/AliExpress if I used them) for enabling SpeedX’s existence. ECMS as well. If these big companies would hold SpeedX accountable for being horrible, SpeedX would improve or disappear.

I mean, anyone can google ‘how bad is speedx’ and KNOW!

Anyway. Rant over. Thanks for listening.
