Thanks,

It has been decided by the Council for Proper Definitions that your Descriptive Meanings Card has been revoked. You may no longer use the words short, shortly, soon, quick, quickest, or brief. You can still use "long", unless it is preceded by the word "not". Any violation of this ruling will result in a 1,000,000₦, Nigerian Naira Fine, that is to be paid immediately. If you think this ruling or a fine is in error, you may write by mail to the CPD about your DMC or NNF which will be replied to ASAP.

I actually got the update I was waiting on, but I didn't get anything solid to confirm it - just a verbal confirmation. So once I know for SURE and have the proof in my hand, then I'll make a statement. I don't like saying stuff I'm not 100% sure of...

You're serious? You mean 8 weeks ago when it was ready to leave it wasn't remotely close?

Guess I've never set sail =/

dhahlen like I said, the wheels turn slowly in Japan. The stuff was packed up and dropped off at the port. It had to be stacked and set on palates, wrapped, was pulled aside to be inspected by Customs, then was loaded onto the container and scheduled to leave on the next ship. Plz be patient. I'd appreciate we keep the smart remarks to a minimum, as some of ya have made you fair share already

Thanks,
~Ramy

So why weren't we told that it would take this long? I would've paid for shipping directly from Japan if I had known it was going to take over 3 months. You've had my twins since late May and they're JUST now getting shipped out.

That's a great idea, minus the assumption that this is a high profit business lol. The margins are very low b/c everyone wants everything top quality for bottom dollar prices and w/ overnight turnaround. There are only a handful of ppl who are really willing to pay the big $$s for the real deal and know what that entails. So don't like the hype fool ya. If I was makin that much money, I'd consider a career change

If you don't mind chiming in with an update I would appreciate it. I figured I'd give it a month at least.

Thx
