    Credit cards out here in the countryside are rare and insane!! I got one in May and promptly did a lot of clothes shopping only to find that the cards here have 100% monthly repayments and got a bill for $1300!!!!! Madness.

    The good thing though is that because this is rural Japan I managed to bully my bank into letting me pay the balance up!!!! Try that in the west!

    So buying a kilt would require me to save up first, the opposite of how I thought credit cards worked! :rolleyes:

    That sounds more like a charge card than a credit card.

    Isn't that the way the American Express card works?

    Ok, I just dont know how to deal with this level of service.

    First, as I have already said I completed my order around 6:30 am and I had shipping confirmation by 8:30 am the SAME DAY. That was Friday the 20th.
    I figured it would get to the post office on Friday, travel Saturday, sit around Sunday, travel some more Monday, then maybe get here Tuesday or Wednesday.
    Hey, it takes three days to get my check to the electric company in the same city right?

    Well, despite knowing it would still be a few days, I had heard enough stories of amazing shipping times from Stillwater Kilts to start getting my hopes up for a Monday delivery. I was schooling myself to stop that, I had at least a day, maybe more before it arrived. I even made myself go to my girlfriends after work and stay there a few hours before rushing home to check the mail.

    Well, before I even got a chance to really start anticipating the wait my kilt is here! By 4:30 pm on Monday, Oct 23rd I got my kilt and sporran. I dont know what to say.

    How does SWK get the US Mail to move so damn quick? Does Jerry have incriminating photos of the Postmaster General? Maybe the rumors of secret transporter technology are true?

    (the kilt and sporran are awesome BTW, but you've all heard enough reviews of both to know that)
