They are sending two sets because the USPS decided to change my shipping address and most likely they won't find anything with that address. 1 hour ago, mstrox said: Maybe it’s the address? Have them ship another box to me too, just to be sure. Yes, that's the issue. The address in the first set is not correct so most likely the postal service in Spain will return it to them because they don't find that address.

That should be unacceptable! I found this "estimated delivery period" in a random tracking website. No other website or app says anything about this delay. I think it's probably an exaggerated estimate, plus it makes little to no sense at all, since it was delayed at customs in Milan for days. Why would they send the package to Florence just to delay delivery more? If something was wrong with it, I think it would've stayed in Milan. 3 minutes ago, DrTenma said: @redishere wow, that's totally crazy... Is it Italian mail usually that bad?

JoeinAR 1,949 Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 There are literally an incalculable number of ways to make pizza. There are even good frozen pizzas( though there is that inverse relation between cost and quality). As for pasta. Its never the star for me. Its the sauce thats star. Unless you count dumplings.

The rest of the set was in perfect condition.
