Can't you sneak out the back window in your kayak and paddle away? [/list:u]

Toshi-kun hasn't returned my kayak yet. :pout:

Oh man, I don't think I'm gonna ship stuff outside of the U.S. anymore: the crap gets lost or those postal suckers steal it. :grumble: :grumble: :grumble:

Don't say something else has gone missing?! :sweat:

ETA: I'm off to bed - it's 11.37 pm.

Night all! :victory:

Consider yourself lucky - half the time the local Chinese population don't know what's going on in Modern China, much less understanding it. :grumble:

Yikes, that sucks! Maybe it'll turn up later on? I've had some packages that took a month to arrive to Hawaii and both times it was just from California.

That sounds about right - if it's sea freight :nut:

I've shipped stuff to Keps months ago and she never got her package and I sent something to Wyn-chan over two weeks ago and she hasn't received squat, either. :grumble:

No, both times it was just regular air mail, which should take less than a week from California. I think the post office just screwed up on something.

Yeah, that really is a long time. I hope that it arrives eventually. Speaking of sending things to Wyn, I wonder if she got my package yet (I sent it last Friday). :fingerscrossed:

If not, her post office must love J-dramas. :sweat:

When I sent her the Nisei Week stuff, the only way she found out about it was when her parents went to the post office and they gave them the package. :shakehead: [/list:u]

Yikes. :sweat:

I've had the same experience sending stuff to Wyn-chan and cori: It takes, like, twice as long to get to them than stuff coming the other way. Since it's all airmail, all I can think of is they are extra-careful in checking stuff at the post offices :sweat:

I haven't. :shamefulcry:

And our mailbox STILL isn't set up... which is why I tell everyone to mail the stuff to my work address.

@cori: Did you mail it to my workplace? Or a home address?

Stock up on air fresheners. :beaten:

Usually we're really good. I send/get stuff from A-Oyaji within a week, and he's the furthest away. I've gotten stuff from Lilly, who's in Florica, within a week, but I'm still waiting for a package from Eve and it's taking forever. It seems to be a hit-and-miss... :sweat:

talk about cheap.

A NewsTarget photo investigation reveals that Energizer "D" Rechargeable batteries are no more powerful than common "AA" rechargeable batteries. In fact, an off-the-shelf Energizer "D" rechargeable battery is actually made of a much smaller AA-capacity battery wrapped in a cheap plastic cylinder with air gaps, designed to make it appear physically like a "D" battery while only delivering the performance of an "AA" battery (2500 mAh). Full details are revealed in this NewsTarget Phototour:

The battery clearly stated its capacity of 2500mAh so it's not a case of misleading the consumer. If it's a price issue (AA capacity at D price) then it is a case of too 'expensive', not 'cheap'. :nut:
