So back in January I ordered an item of kinky PVC clothing from China... obviously the world went a bit crazy about 10 minutes after I did so.
After much "keeping an eye on stuff" it would appear that the parcel finally made it into the UK at the weekend...
At a guess it will be delivered today or tomorrow... that should be fun with "EVERYBODY" in the house!!

We done, I always wondered how long deliveries from China take at the best of times!
I've just had a text to say a pair of shoes are going to be delivered between 9:35 and 10:35 this morning, right when I have a videocon...

That's one of the things that puts me off buying anything that has to go through customs .
Still my Melissa's have arrived (only five minutes into the e-meeting)...

I do not mind the customs. It is more of a worry if the neighbours get to see it. Here they often deliver to the neighbours when you are not at home.

I didn’t fair any better. The shop I go to in China for clothing just folded... gone.
I did get one dress, just cleared customs, but my other orders just went Poof.
But there is a very nice dress maker in the UK I’m going to try later this month.

Most embarrassing deliveries?
3. Rubber overcoat for my Scarlet Witch costume, sent in a box labelled 'XYZ Rubber'.
2. Turquoise high heels for my Deana Troi costume, sent in sellotaped shoe-box c/w with colour photo lid.
1. 14-foot bullwhip for my Pfeiffer Catwoman costume, sent in a thin plastic bag and delivered to the local corner-shop/sub-post office.
