worrying day of delivery..

[ltxrob]

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...

I share your pain on this one!

On a number of occasions I've been juggling conference calls with staring out of a window, trying to intercept a delivery - not always successfully.

I think I got away with the small parcel my GF brought up to my office with 'Body-stocking' clearly printed on the 'contents' label  

Until this crisis kicked off I'd switched to 'click and collect' options wherever possible - much less stressful, though the guy in my local collection point was starting to give me some funny looks.....   

Can't wait to get buying again

...'Body-stocking' clearly printed on the 'contents' label 

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.

Ali is OK. Just got my Shu Pu Er tea 😋

Well my parcel has not moved today... tracking says it still at the incorrect depot they sent it to on Sat...
so its about 20 miles away, but its not the depot that serves my town!!!

Lets see what tomorrow brings!!

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.
