Shipping Question...

K8sMum · Post Posted: Mar 02, 2017 1:48 pm

I'm shipping the right number of the right items but still getting yelled at sometimes.

Is there a trick to shipping veggies/flowers? No wild plants, just flowers I've grown. How do we know where to ship? Do we go by the icon by the instructions?

It shouldn't matter what destination you are shipping to, as long as you ship the correct items and amount. What was the specific request?

EDIT: Also, make sure you put it in the shipping bin before 17:00

It's the other way around, you'll get shipping jobs from the town you are shipping to, so no need to worry about that

Are you perhaps putting the items in the shipping bin after 17.00? Need to do it before it's picked up, that's the only thing I can't think of.

It seems to be eggs/milk. Do they need to go in bundled instead of singly perhaps? Like 4, instead of 2, 1, 1?

The eggs/milk shouldn't need to be bundled. I have put different star ranks that weren't bundled together. You can merge them however to see if that helps. As long as you are putting the stuff in before 17:00, with the correct item and amount, I shouldn't see why you should be failing thay job. Maybe it's a bug. Try bundling to see if that helps.

no, I put eggs and mils in singles in and never had a problem with it. As the others said before, the most likely issue could be, that you didn't put them in before 17:00

Thanks muchly. Actually, I've gotten a wee bit paranoid about it and put shipping in around 14:00. I'm starting to think the little twerp just likes telling me off.

I've had that happen to me too. Granted, the first few times were my fault (put wild flowers instead of farm-grown ones, d'oh...), but I think he told me off again on a day I'd done everything right. I had just finished another job, then when I took another, I got the "we're gonna have problems" line. Maybe it was eggs too, not sure. But when I opened my PT job tab, all the jobs had red flowers, so I dunno what his issue was. The PT guy in Lulukoko is way chiller than the one in Westown lol

Oh wild flowers don't work? Well that explains why I kept failing my daily tasks. Thanks so much for sharing that information! I was going nuts trying to fogure it out...

Yeah, I facepalmed when I read about it in the guide (http://fogu.com/sos2/the-towns/jobs.html). It's a bit silly to put those tasks so early in the game, while flowers take 6-7 days to grow (the starter ones, marguerite daisies and bluebells). I guess it's all RNG though

Whats the difference from shipping crops? It isn't as if your Radishes will be fully grown by the time you start your first part time job. Unless of course you wait till they are grown, but you can start the jobs way before then.
