the excuse everyone used for customs was glassware, just hope the inspector doesn't care

what's the state of everyone's packages atm, i'm guessing half of you haven't even started

the success rate every yosmas shows that it's effective (if it isn't actually a bong)

KEEP IT



Wiggly Wayne DDS you posted that you're a size medium. we need more info on what you're interested in bruv
i'm not swimming in interests over here. obviously anything security but already have enough books and locks. beyond that it's always dark, cold, windy and raining here so outside poo poo/mealworms are a bit of a waste

not into retro gaming, and already have about everything i'm interested in playing already. got xcom fan poo poo already, don't play boardgames though

far as alcohol i mainly drink rum, and the only beer i can tolerate is belgian but already stocked up over here

any dumb local things would be interesting, beyond that ask your terrible santee more specific questions

e: i drink a lot of tea but in those double-sized mugs

repeated deliveries are dumb as gently caress, if theyd put it in a collection facility id have it already
sounds like you could get it at a collection facility if you don't want to roll the dice on a monday delivery

anthonypants posted:

register with ups on their website and they will
1) alert you when a package is getting shipped to you
2) allow you to sign for an incoming package
3) allow you to hold the package at a collection facility or send it to a ups store or another address

got mine finalised, all sent now

Sep 11, 2010



yosmas has come early

Wiggly Wayne DDS
Sep 11, 2010



that's in the same condition as shipped so customs doesn't care about locked boxes apparently.

be careful when opening as there's exposed screws, and make sure you don't throw anything away

apologies for the lack of sweets/coffee scotland isn't exactly booming in those areas

Wiggly Wayne DDS
Sep 11, 2010



if i knew you'd take it this well i'd have put actual locks on it and made a bigger challenge

Wiggly Wayne DDS
Sep 11, 2010



i also expected it to be held in customs, not be ready for delivery 48hrs after pickup

still hilarious that they never inspected the inside. what concerns did your wife have ahmeni

I have never seen the last type of lock before so it might be a while

still awaiting mine being unboxed

some smaller items are mid-delivery though

remember to check through transglobalexpress for international shipping, worked well for delivering to ahmeni
