Deliveries from America

I ordered stuff from Rio Grande at tea-time yesterday and by 3.49 this morning it arrived at East Midlands Airport. I'll get a call this morning, I expect to settle the tax bill (grrrrr!) and will possibly get the stuff later today.
The same happened when I ordered my Bonny Doon. How amazing is that?

Wow! That was quick

Can't wait to see what you do with the new toys!

Wow that is amazing, I am still waiting for a Christmas pressie that I ordered from a UK Entertainment site to arrive which I ordered 2 weeks ago !!

You lucky lucky girl Carole, I am so jealous xx

I know what you ordered, but have no idea as to what they are, so looking forward to seeing the output.

The Americans have customer service sorted don't they. Why can't we do it over here?

Going off at a tangent, Carole - do bear in mind that the tooling for the Bonny Doon isn't generally terribly tricky stuff, and any small engineering firm should be able to make things like those up. *Might* be cheaper than buying from the US, no guarantees.

Well lucky you Carol xx I am jealous as i order lots of stuff from beadaholique and then decided to choose the $14.00 fed ex shipping just to make sure i would have it in a couple of days,,,,,,,,,,,,that was on the first of dec and i have not yet received my items (today presumably) my blood pressure is sky high as i need some items in the package to finish off some christmas orders.............. I am so mad

I have always been lumbered with huge import taxes using FedEx - I chose them for their speed too. What happened is that the packages sat in customs for days on end

**amazingbabe** · 15-12-2009, 11:07 AM

I've checked it out Di, its not in customs, its in the Dublin Fed Ex depot and they decided all by themselves that my address was wrong so if i did not check it out it would still be sitting there (oops it still could be as i did'nt get it yet) I'm afraid i will actually freak if i do not receive it today.............. Ohhhhhh i hate stress
