It arrived albeit #FedEx fucked up all #umlauts in my shipping address, even in two different ways:

Once they obviously took #UTF8 as #ISOLatin and once they seem to have taken one #8bit charset as another 8-bit charset, probably #ISOLatin1 as #CP850. 🙄 #schei_encoding #mojibake

@Venty once described systems that have such issues as #UmlautlyChallenged. 😉

But at least it arrived! I heard from a keyboard dealer that they stopped sending parcels to Europe with FedEx due to too much packet loss…

Excerpt from a shipping letter where instead of any u-umlaut there is a capital A with a tilde and a glyph for "one fourth" shown.Excerpt from a shipping letter where instead of any u-umlaut there is a capital A with a tilde and a glyph for "one fourth" shown.
