Huge list of things. Dresses are still coming from Violent Delights/Sirens and Starlets. Also ordered yukata/kimono stuff for my boyfriend and myself and the new jacket and underbust JSK from Surface Spell.

Still looking for cute retro-inspired shoes to go with the dresses above (in plum, burgundy or nude; I have tons of red and black heels).

The bangs are actually at the post office down the road from my apartment but because it was "registered mail" they are requiring me to be home at the time of delivery (I was at school when they attempted delivery) or go pick it up starting tomorrow.
The circle lenses were shipped a few days ago, so I'm thinking another week to week and a half, they're from Pinky Paradise.

My order from Tosen on Rakuten just arrived and I've got to say, don't buy from them. They were recommended to me by a friend and by an anon in one of the past kimono threads.

The "cotton" juban I ordered is synthetic and feels like a shower curtain (the reviews on the page rated it high, but another, more expensive juban was described as being "like a raincoat", so maybe they sent the wrong one). They also sent me the black version of my boyfriend's yukata instead of the navy, even though they're listed under completely different pages. They also completely left out one of the obi I ordered for him, even though I was charged for it. Granted, it was the plain blue one, so I'm not crushed, since it wouldn't have matched, but that's $15 down the tubes.

Everything else in the order is as it should be, thank God. I'm debating whether wading through their horrible English (and making them wade through my horrible Japanese) is worth requesting an exchange of the yukata I ordered.

That's kind of what I'm feeling at this point. Nothing I bought that was flubbed was too expensive except for the juban (and even that isn't expensive by juban standards), because this is his first time letting me dress him up. I'll think it over, but I probably won't bother. I just won't order from them again unless something I'm after is 1) super specific/doesn't come in multiple colours and 2) is an obi. The obi I *did* receive are badass, even the cheapest one.

The items were $31.73 including domestic shipping, the overseas shipping was $24.20. That includes this stuff. I used Taobaoring (8% service charge), but it might be more affordable to use Bhiner (5% service charge). I haven't used Bhiner yet just because my next order is a lot larger and more heavy, so I kind of need the 40% EMS discount that Taobaoring offers.

I want to murder my mailman... I got a phone call during my lunch break from an unknown number. Thankfully I bothered to answer (I normally don't).

It turns out a neighbor received one of my bodyline packages. I have a tracking number for three parcels. Now... I'm just freaking out. Because if my mailman is just randomly handing out my mail to random people... not everyone is as honest and I'm worried my stuff is now gone forever. But what really kills me is that the mailman didn't knock on the person's door... no, he fucking STUFFED my package in the stranger's mailbox.

I just went to the post office to file a complaint. But... it isn't enough. I want blood.

Just three or so months ago two other packages were supposedly sent to me and I never received them. Now I'm starting to reconsider my initial consideration that the people were scams... it might have just been my mailman being an incompetent fool.

Shipping can be stupid on so many levels. Even other companies like Fedex and UPS

I had so much trouble with UPS on literally a package worth about $8.

First it was delayed because the truck broke down. Then it was delivered, I got home, my package was GONE. I had delivery confirmation. Checked, UPS never bothered to knock or ring my doorbell. So they just left the package at the door and somebody stole it.

I had to call the company I ordered from and get a replacement sent out. They do two days. I sign up through UPS to have it sent to a UPS facility for me to pick up instead of delivering to my house.

It arrives, I go to the facility. IT'S NOT IN THEIR SYSTEM. They have no data on my package.

The guy had to walk to the back and actually found my package sitting plain as day. When they delivered it, they never put my package in the system.

So fuck UPS and fuck whoever stole my package.

UGh, I too want to kill my mailpersion/landlady, they are both at fault for this shit.
So I just moved to a bigger apartment in the same building a month or so ago, and I noticed in my mail room that they never moved the little name tag from my old mail box to my new mail box.
I went welp it should not be a problem they should fix it soon, and I could not fix it because it has to be done from the inside and I turned in my keys already.
SO a month latter I notice, hay, I have not gotten any mail since I moved, and I have been waiting for a package to arrive for like the past few weeks...
Also my bank is calling me telling me I have to activate my new debit card soon or they will just deactivate the old one...
and so I take matters into my own fucking hands and rip the thing off and move it to my new mailbox.
Got a "final notice" delivery notice about the package the next day, and go to contact my land lady because, ya, it would take an idiot to not see at this point that the mail person does not take the time to look at apartment numbers, and I want my mail damn it.
I would not be so pissed about this, but my land lady replys to my e-mail going and I fucking quote (After spelling my name wrong even though my name is in my fucking email) "I spoke to the mailman today and he is (and has been) aware of the change on the mailboxes and has put your mail in the correct box – 'old apartment number' "

>> No.6348836

My favorite story about shipping horrors that I've heard of goes like this:

Tracking shows it stopped

Apartment mail systems are shit in general, I get all of my packages delivered to my parent's house now since they're only about an hour away. My apartment building is 100 years old and has no actual mail room, just a bunch of mail boxes on the wall so if you get a package via USPS they just sit them in the floor by the mail. The mail is in the front room of my building, which is public access.

I learned the hard way not to ship there when I ordered a textbook and one evening, weeks after my tracking number said 'delivered', some guy knocked on my door and handed me a torn open shipping envelope with my textbook inside. Ugh.

That's pretty standard. You have to break them in and have help lacing them, or they're not going to fit for shit.

If I have a friend lace me in, the shape I get from their corsets is awesome. If I'm doing it myself, I can't get it tight enough to avoid the tube shape. It's frustrating. If you want a corset that will take you in fast and without a ton of help, go Gallery Serpentine. I love the one I have from them and I'm dying to get anther.

Is it the same wig? How is it? Because I've seen different versions of it on taobao [one for Nero and one that's silver for some reason] and they all look so amazing. Probably the best Saber wig I've ever seen, and I've owned a few in the past. Definitely worth the $70 with shipping. I've paid more for things I'll probably be using a lot less.

Waiting on a new wig. Been waiting for four weeks now.

However, it's not that it hasn't been shipped. It was shipping and got to my state back on the 20th. It made its way closer to me and ended up in the next city over.

Where it was processed twice over the course of a few days.

The last eBay update says it was processed on the 24th, and hasn't updated since then. Using the tracking code on the USPS site, it says it departed the sorting plant instead on the 24th.

Either way, it's the 29th now and it still hasn't made it the arduous one hour that it takes to get to my city.

Is is at all possible for me to contact the post office to see what's up? Or will they just shrug their shoulders like they always do?

GIANT BOX OF KUMA CRAFT GOODNESS!

I'm the anon who had a necklace break in the last order. I contacted Mandi at Kuma Crafts, not expecting that she'd be able to do anything, but she kindly offered to replace it at a huge discount. I asked if she'd mind placing the order in a box with my pre-order items to protect them all from my jackass mailman and she agreed. So I now have a non-broken Spiral Heart Rod pendant and a slew of other Sailor Moon related acrylic jewellery.

I lucked out and found Amy Pond's wedding dress on ebay in my size! ...or so I thought.

Just got it and it seems that while the listing had US8, they must have meant UK8. An 8 I am, but UK8 is US 4-6 which I am not. I spent $380 on buying and shipping it and they don't take returns, so I've scheduled an appointment with a tailor for next week to see what I can get done.

I've wanted to use this dress as my actual wedding dress since I saw the episode, so I'm hoping it can be let out enough to wear, but I'm fairly sure they can't let it out THAT much.

Beware size conversions, /cgl/, beware.

It doesn't have a corset back is the sad thing, it's a side zipper. The dress fits my hips and my waist fine, but I've got a bit of a man-ribcage and even after flattening my boobs out I couldn't get it zipped up higher than just past my waist line, there's at least a 4 inch gap of "no zip" at the top of the bust line.

Since I don't plan on reselling it (though a friend has asked if I could do a quick Amy shoot since I have a red wig), I'm considering asking them to alter it to a corset back anyways since I know it'll be a cold day in hell before I find it again.

Here's some photos I have for reference of the dress. Here you can see the side (I circled the zip area) and the back. I'm really concerned about the overlay, too, but my mother said they might be able to take some fabric from the train to fix the overlay.

Thank you, though, I'm trying to stay positive!

I recently moved and I can't find the majority of my DS games which pushed me to buy some games I've been wanting for awhile. I'm also waiting for lots of clothes, some of it lolita gear.

Does anyone else find themself buying lolita less often? It used to be 90% of what I spent my extra money on, now it's more like 20%. I don't know if it's because the sales posts never seem to have the items I want anymore (maybe because my wardrobe has grown a lot over the past couple of years or maybe because LJ sucks) or if it's because I'm losing interest. It's probably a combination of both but after all the time and money I've invested into lolita, I really don't want to outgrow it. I've only worn a fraction of my closet. Okay, mini rant to myself ends now. Which games do you guys like best from my haul? They're all rather casual which is what I needed.

I desperately needed a new camera. Ended up paying $180 for the bundle and the camera retails about $350.

Unless I'm totally daft, you CAN be Kinder chocolate in the United States. Just not the Kinder Surprises, because the toy in the candy presents a safety hazard for children.

Really, it makes sense of ban them from sale in the United States. (Our children are fucking morons and their parents aren't much better.)
But why are they being banned from coming OVER THE FREAKING BORDER?
