I sent my package two weeks ago and obviously still hasn't made it to the recipient.  Mind you, it is coming from Australia.  Still I send things to this part of the world quite a lot and it never usually takes two weeks.  I sent Cheree's off for her last week and even with the transplant she was really organised with gifts for her santee.  I hope mine gets to its recipient soon.  xx

Nope, just thought of it while trying to do homework.


So how did everyone ship theirs? I mean did youadd deliivery confirmation, insurance, or other means to track it? All I did was add insurance to mine, which I "asume" you can see if it was delivered. Wasn't sure if I should have added delivery confirmation.

Since it is not a small box, we can rule out it is a gerbil? :rofl; :rofl;
On the other hand, is the box big enough for the mini pincher you wanted and does it have any holes in the box? ;D :santahat;
