    If you could do it. You should get a P.O. box especially if you have a lot of items sent to you by USPS

    Ordered Hover and Bomber off BBTS yesterday. I should have it by the middle/end of next week, but when it comes to packages I'm very impatient. That's why I usually use Amazon prime to order my stuff :p

    I had a TRU Skyquake that I ordered that got left on my porch at my apartments. I was so pissed but luckily I got it and there is no walkway In front of my place where I live. But I usually leave a notice to leave at the office when I'm not home. Its So stupid that they do that.

    This isn't TF related, but I just ordered an issue of Flash 123 and the USPS is informing me that it won't be here til the 5th of July. Waiting that long sucks >__<

    I've always had pleasant experiences with USPS, but this week has been ridiculous.

    I ordered a TFCC Depthcharge figure that should have arrived yesterday but was apparently "missent" according to the tracking info. I called USPS and they said that they accidentally sorted it to the wrong zip code and I should have it tomorrow.

    Also ordered a TFCC Scourge from some guy off eBay nearly two weeks ago and he still hasn't arrived. Maybe it's my fault because I was being cheap and opted to do the "free shipping", which apparently meant the seller was going to ship it via "Package Services". I guess I should have paid the extra 5 bucks for priority. Is it normal for the slowest shipping option to be so damn slow? The tracking info hasn't even been updated since June 26!

    Over the weekend? I don't think so. I ordered some Monsterarts stuff during HLJ's New Year's sale (granted, it was shipped by EMS but still rapid registered mail) and I waited 3 weeks for the package thanks to U.S. customs.

    I'm getting the triple changers this Tuesday, and I hate waiting for them. Also have to wait until the 18th for ordering Hasbro MP Soundwave. Then there's waiting for the package...

    What's worse than waiting for a package? Knowing its at home but being stuck at work. My Ratbat was delivered 10 mins after I left for work today. The GF texted me that "some box with japanese on it" came.

    Drat!

    Side note: that Aveo Swerve is pretty awesome.

    My tracking on e-bay says it's out only been waiting to get one of those Spacetroopers from Hasbro Legacy for a few years.

    It's small enough to be in the mailbox so it might be there.

    Off topic about gf and asian packages, Benjamin I got a package from China and it was wrapped in a newspaper from China there was a picture of a lady on it and clearly I had told my gf I couldn't read it but I was looking at it and she asks me if the lady is pregnant since she was holding her belly I was like I don't know I can't read this.

    ^Ever get that package on schedule?

    Also, the day before is always the worst. Delivery is scheduled for tomorrow, but I won't get my hands on the plastic inside (Hexatron, MP Alert, FP Last Chance, FP Down Force, and Platinum Grimlock v Bruticus) til tomorrow evening!
