Tell me about it.....If i was the type to fall prey to conspiracy theories,
i would swear the post office are out to get me....
But i'm not exaggerating when i say, once the 20th working day has passed,
they nearly always show up in the following five days....
I've wondered whether maybe they take a different route from the packages i
used to get from DVD Soon and the like, cos i would get a DVD roughly within
10 days of them posting it when i shopped with DVD Soon. But i order other
stuff from the US, (comics, toys, the like..) and they all arrive much
quicker than DVD's from DVD Pacific.....
I wondered whether maybe Customs are having a peek, but the majority of my
purchases are barely double digits, certainly not enough to worry the 18
ceiling....
So, all i can think is that i should have given my Postie a tip last year,
and not complained about him littering our estate with his F***ing red
elastic bands....
Ho hum...
