Evilminion.com sale UPDATE: Saiyuuki this time

I had another package take a long time and it turned out that at the last postal facitity it went to, they stopped shipping until they counted every piece of mail in their possession. They weren't supposed to hold my package (an EMS I think), but I was told by my postman, they often still do because they want as high a count as possible. No one is likely to check to see that they are holding stuff they shouldn't.

It's easy! You let him live so that Klet and I ... oh and I probably shouldn't forget Roboflonne! can make his life as miserable as possible for the longest amount of time available

Oh speaking of which, was my parcel in the randomly held bunch too? Because I can barely wait to torture him with more pictures of beautiful bishies. It seems only right.

Oh, right! Yes, that was definitely it.

It's a far worse fate to leave him alive. Although today I'm actually happy with him since he managed to ID my teensy Hellsing sketch (arigatou, Kymaera!). So he gets an e-cookie.

Yep, your package is in there as well, and since this set were all going Priority Mail or Global Priority, everything should -- and I say "should" with fingers and toes firmly crossed, considering -- be arriving by Wednesday at the latest. If there are any further delays, I swear, I am going to tear out huge hunks of my own hair and leap up and down flapping them madly while screaming "I'M A BADGER! I'M A BADGER!" Yes, I'm that close to the edge.

And I thought the post office was driving me nuts... Hope everything turns out for the best for you guys.

For me, I mailed a package two months ago, and the USPS seems to be playing a game of, "We have your package!" "We don't have your package..." (rinse, repeat). In addition, the buyer seems nice as a person, but frustratingly unresponsive as a buyer. If I was waiting for news on a package, I'd check my mail every day, not once a week. Hopefully the insurance claim I filed will kick at least the post office's arse into gear.

If not, maybe you'll have company for your badger song.

Now there's a song cue if I ever heard one:

"Snaaaake, it's a snaaaaaaake...ooooohhh it's a snake!"

Please tell me that my package was also delayed in that batch? Because I think I'd cry a lot if the post office lost my cels/sketches/backgrounds...(and once I was done crying, I'd stab them all in the eye with a fork)

FORK ATTACK!

Heehee! I've felt the same way a few times, I must admit. Back in late 2001, I had a Celga package sit in Customs for three months, and finally arrive (to borrow a great phrase from another collector) looking like it had been left out in a meteor shower and then used as a wheel chuck. Thank goodness for the plastic boxes that Celga double-packs in, or that would have been a very sad day indeed.

Rei, email me to remind me of your real-world name, and I'll send your tracking number.

I'm sure everything's fine, if tardy.

And if not, I've got a fork too!

I just wanted to let you know MY PACKAGE FINALLY CAME!!!
YAY!!!

I broke down and bought another present for the kid yesterday too. I figured "If I buy something else for her, it will probably arrive tomorrow."...so it did. -isn't that a Murphy's Law or something? I bought her DVDs of Full Metal Panic BTW, I couldn't find a Saiyuki drawing as nice as the one I was waiting for.

Anyway, thanks for the extra. Do you know which series it comes from? Oh and the Photons are great. That sequence at the end of the series of Photon and Koro is one of the cutest in the entire series! The Emperor is really dramatic and the airbrushing is perfect. I hope to post everyone soon.

I know, heehee!

I've been nervously tracking assorted packages since they finally showed up in the system a couple of days ago, like some sort of demented package-stalker. Looks like most of them are on schedule for delivery today or tomorrow. I'm SO happy yours got there safely! Had it been opened at all by the post office?

Hey, board admins... why don't we have an "extreme relief" emoticon? It would be equally useful for, say, winning an auction that's been up for ten days, or finally hearing back from a sketch dealer that the stuff you requested yesterday is still available.

Oh! The second sketch is from Gensoumaden Saiyuuki season two. It's Goku attacking Homura. I figured if you were getting a cute Goku, you needed a badass Goku to balance him out.

Again, YAY!!!

WHOOP!!

Color me happy, too, as I received my "Evilminion Package 'o' Sketchy Delights" today. The packaging was in perfect condition and showed no signs of being opened or tampered with by the PO. So, I'm not sure what kind of security check they did, but all the lovely graphite boyzies were still ... well. lovely.

And, speaking of love ... OMG!! *SKETCH LUV VIBES* I adore them sooo much!!! Thank you from the bottom of my little, glass fangirl heart.
