Karol One of the cons of being an adult living with their parents is that the parents still decide when Christmas is. crocodile 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're going to have a lot to talk about in 12 days. Pineapple Im very patient. Basically anything I purchase entertainment wise or is purchased for me after Labor Day goes under the tree. My mom insisted on that for me and my sister 40 + years ago. I believe in following family traditions. I have done it long after I have been on my own. Hell half the stuff I have forgetten about.

I'll be very lucky to see this before Christmas if @crumbs experience is anything to go by, I recall the JP set took around 10 days to ship to Melbourne 😞 Yeah sorry mate, I don't like your chances at all, only 6 business days left. Mine shipped last Friday and was at the airport Saturday (Friday LA time) and it's still just sitting around at Melbourne airport apparently. You wouldn't think it takes more than 3 days to get a package from the airport to metro Melbourne but that's our first class postal service for you! Definitely feel for all the people whose copies only just shipped. I remember waiting about 7 days for my JP set to ship and that felt like an eternity! Hopefully yours will be on a plane to Melbourne this weekend, which means you might scrape in for delivery by next Friday/Christmas Eve.

King Mark 3,631 Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 Tracking is unreliable. Sometimes an item doesn't show up at all depending where it was shipped when i order c.d.'s they're usually updated until it crosses the border but I don't get a "out for delivery" notice. it's like the postal employes are too lazy to scan the item at each step Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Mark 3,631 Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 Sometimes I use the tracking system of the sender country to check tracking if it's not registered in my country I don't stress to much about c.d.'s . But I also order dried butterfly specimen for collection purpose from remote countries all over the world. That's a lot more stressful as it's extremely fragile and can be opened and damaged by customs officials. And I'm more concerned about something like Peruvian post than USPS losing a parcel Still, I never , ever lost a single parcel in my lifetime The only time I've ever paid customs is for movie figurines because they are considered somekind of "statue art" and they hit me hard.

It's not that impressive just to spend a lot of money ordering exotic things. I have captured 0 myself but set them all myself Just years of buying from dealers and ebay ffrom all over the world and trying to select A1 (perfect) specimens But it's quite difficult to set them and takes years of practice not to damage them .They come with wings folded in a paper envelope.

Wojo 2,453 Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 My mother says if a butterfly lands near you, it's a dead loved one come to say hello.

King Mark 3,631 Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 you prepare and set them like this (pins with a transparent plastic sheet ) just touching the wings can break them or rub off the scales. after a few days when it's dry again you can remove it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bayesian 1,363 Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 I’m now convinced my order hasn’t shipped because Die Another Day is holding it up. Maybe they ran out of copies before they got to my order and are waiting for more from the plant. It’s the only reason I can think of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It should process very quickly within 24 hours. Mine went from shipping label created in Burbank to arriving at LA within 15 hours (and probably flying out soon later).
