The jones is killing me

**arrogcow** · 14th December 05, 08:49 PM

Ordered a kilt from Scotishkilts.net just under a month ago, and have been doing fine since I had no delivery date. They shipped last wednesday by parcelforce by international datapost (supposed to take three days). However the shipping is killing me. First it took nearly 60 hours to get from Glasgow to Coventry, then another 67 hours just to be sent on a shipment to the US and then 44 hours to get from Coventry to New York (really a less then 8 hour flight). I'm going nuts where is my kilt?!?!?!?

Good Luck. Hopefuly no one labels it food product and gets held up in customs. Yes, I know but it happened. :-)

Ouch that hurts, the worst kind of Jones is the one you know that it is soooooo close.

Inhale, exhale.
Inhale, exhale.

Well when I ordered mine this week I specifically asked for UPS delvery. Your horror story with Parcelfarce was the deciding factor on that one. I hope you kilt gets to you soon Adam.

Hope you get your fix soon.

Perhaps some meditation would help.
Take a deep breath, exhale while saying Mmmmmmmmmm Killllllllllllllllllllt.
Repeat over and over until the package arives. ;-)

May not help, but will keep you occupied

dont forget customs fees....... hope fully not....... it will get there when it gets there.... sometimes i think its better when there a gift you dont know about so they can do the jonesing!

**arrogcow** · 15th December 05, 09:40 PM

OK, I'm safe. It arrived today and with no customs fees. I'll post observations about it tomorrow, hopefully.
