    Default I can't wait

    I ordered a whipped dog sight unseen razor and a poor man stropping kit a few weeks ago. I live in Canada and it has to go through customs which can hold a parcel up. Enough time has passed now and it should be here any day. Now everytime I go to check the mail there is a surge of optimism/excitement, is it here? So far no and it sucks having to wait a whole other day to check it. Such is life and I can wait but with that being said I can't wait to get my hands on that parcel.

    I feel your pain. My experience was similar other than ebay purchase from Canada to California. Took just more than two weeks. What was really frustrating was that the Canadian postal tracking did not play well with the USPS system. Even though I had a tracking number there was never a status change before the package was delivered.

    It wasn't in today but a sample order from Garry's samples was in so it wasn't a total loss today. I think my whipped dog order shipped a day after my sample order so maybe tomorrow. I hope it is, I don't think I will make it through the weekend if it isn't. Haha

    Well the pictures are going to have to wait, it wasn't in today. I did get some of the old spice AS I ordered from India though.

    I tried the tracking number on the Canada post website and it worked, it reached customs on May 1st and was there till the 7th and according to Canada post was supposed to arrive today. So it should be there early next week.

    After you acquire a couple of razors the wait becomes part of the fun actually. Hell at one point I had a different razor showing up every day for about two weeks. It gets bad man. Bad.

    Once my wife says "you have alot razors", the flood gates will open because it means she has lost count and won't notice any new ones. Haha
