Any damages mean an extra order and then a credit.<br /><br />I wouldn't have though that was the problem in you case. Why did they say that somebody else would call you back? Why could the person taking the call not deal with it?Ian - Norvichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16436130277706268046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-61379575088648114.post-66735355227776759172020-02-13T08:35:49.937+00:002020-02-13T08:35:49.937+00:00Must be a new policy.

Called Philatelic bureau to complain, they told me to wait for someone to call me about it and they will send out a label for return. Then in 28 days I will get a replacement. This is so bad. Had I ordered it off them on ebay it would have arrived with proper protection. I have had a problem before and they just sent out another immediately and told me I would get charged for the other if it wasn't returned, of course I returned it. Just thought I'd mention this as it seems a new thing.marcoonihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11464073579217192381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-61379575088648114.post-59014829121217217402020-02-07T22:06:14.774+00:002020-02-07T22:06:14.774+00:00Excellent!

First of all, the...That is all rather interesting.<br /><br />First of all, the picture on the label is obviously the same as the picture on the cover. So if one is a black hole then the other can not be be a solar eclipse. And vice versa.<br /><br />In fact, I'm pretty sure that they are both the solar eclipse. The giveaway is the solar flare appearing as an arc on the left of the ring of fire.<br /><br />Also, it is correct to say that you can't photograph a black hole. It is black, after all. But you can photograph or, at least, get an image of the cloud of extremely hot gas that is spinning rapidly around the hole as it falls inwards. A year or two ago scientists did just that. They issued what was described as an image of a black hole. It showed a bright ring of radiation around a black centre. Very like the label in the pane, but not the same. It clearly showed a difference in shade between right and left caused by the difference in the shift in the frequency of the radiation between one side where the spin of the black hole was causing the disc to move rapidly towards the observer and the other side where the disc was spinning away. <br /><br />Anyway, the image on the central label is not that famous image of a black hole. Instead it is the solar eclipse exactly as shown on the cover.<br /><br />I think.machinmaniachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04828718139014099738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-61379575088648114.post-55059841568978072032020-02-07T09:26:41.262+00:002020-02-07T09:26:41.262+00:00I have to agree with Robert - you can't photog...I have to agree with Robert - you can't photograph a Black Hole!

So it may look like a hole that's black but I don't think it is a black hole!Roberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05419995677048075992noreply@blogger.com
