I really want a Solarwinds coffee cup!

So, as per the title, I'd really like a couple of Solarwinds coffee cups so that I can be the envy of my colleagues, slight hitch, I'm in the UK (& we all know Solarwinds don't ship here, yet)

I'm looking to bribe (let's call it what it is) one of my fellow thwackers with the following idea.

You let me know what you want from the https://thwack.solarwinds.com/store (up to 12000 points) I tack on my coffee cups (& maybe a t shirt & travel mug ) & it all gets delivered to you...

Once received, you let me know & we arrange some international postage of my items to me ?

So... whaddya think? Have we got a deal?

Solarwinds team - if I've breached some policy or other posting this, sincere apologies, please don't ban me (I really want that mug!!!)

I've placed this in Network Performance monitor for visibility, if this needs to be moved (or deleted) no worries, thought I'd give it a try

danielgilbey‌ - I did move it to thwack Community, but I promise there is still a ton of visibility in the thwack Community :-)

danielgilbey‌, you didn't break any rules. No worries. We moved your thread to the thwack Community space since the NPM one is for product related questions.

Thanks both for helping me see the error of my ways, I didn't even think to post to the community space..! Doh!

danielgilbey

Done! Thanks again!

If there are any other Thwackers out there that need some of the same assistance, I would be up to helping them get there goods! What are friends for? We are all on the same team and that is an AWESOME idea ">danielgilbey

geomars

means that you act as a forwarder?

If you ever need more mugs, let me know.

Personally I like my mug collection. Not sure if a SolarWinds mug would fit in.

shawn_b

trading in Thwack points . . . there's an idea

Bitcoin didn't see this coming

dasher

When doesn't Solarwinds fit in? lol!

dasher

Just a router, unpack the packet and place a new destination on it and send it on its way! geomars

Valid point, SolarWinds also like to dominate the monitoring of the network. Fits right in with Vader and Diablo.

danielgilbey

Hi all, for any of you following this... be "forewarned" - as I've since found out, it's quite expensive shipping from the USA to the UK (vs the other way interestingly?) which probably explains why Solarwinds don't (currently) do that.

If anyone does decide to go down the route I did & a big thanks shout out to josh.haberman again for his patience while we looked to arrange this, check out parcelhero.com as an option.

danielgilbey, thanks so much for sharing this.

josh.haberman

Sorry things didn't work out I distributed the things you ordered to my team as you suggested and they really appreciate it! You can hold me to my promise of drinks on me the next time I go to the UK. Also, I'll try to pack a carry-on bag full of Thwack swag

danielgilbey

No probs Josh, worse things happen... Glad your team liked the 'loot' & don't worry, I've not forgotten about the drinks (although you might regret promising that!) haha

I guess this is why it's so risky getting into mug trafficking as a business....

josh.haberman

You don't even know.

Shipping company conversation: "FRA-GEEE-LEEEE, huh must made in Italy or something".

It is a shame they can not just "grant" you a right to print one. Then they just ship you the design you run it thru your 3D printer - Badda Bing! A SolarWinds Coffee cup. And yes 3D printers can do ceramics apparently not just plastic - Bhold Labs - Design made better by you

tomiannelli

I neither for for or am affiliated with either company referenced here. Just being a GEEK! and solving your problem!

kdeal

aww...did you never get a coffee cup? If you would still like one, let me know. I have a ton of points I'm not using and would happily order one and ship it to you. (I understand international shipping costs.)

syldra

Hey Daniel, without even shopping for the lowest cost, it seems I could ship a 1 cubic foot (less than 2Kg) from Canada to UK for under 30$ (canadian dollars, so even less in your outrageously overrated currencies ). Don't know how a coffee mug weigh but I guess I could send you 3-4 of those for that price... Let me know if you are interested.

danielleh

Hi Josh - we will get a new one sent out to you!

birendrakc

Out of 6 mugs, 2 were broken and it was a poor packing. Trust me, their packing system is one of the worst I have ever seen. It feels like they are sending an used item in a used box. I talked to the shipper and they replaced mine with a very nice packing.
