not getting them at all, if it shows up busted you can get to work on getting the problem fixed if it's just a no show it's like being in limbo. i totaly thought this thread was about packages that you have sitting around that need to be shipped, i have like 3 packages that need to be sent in for RMA but i never get around to sending them.

I have my new motherboard coming, which will hopefully be here tomorrow.

Also, all the packages I don't know about are nice. :p My roomate got shipped to Kuwait and he has been ordering stuff non-stop on his improved income.. :p It's like Christmas every week with all the cool new stuff he gets.

the absolutely WORST thing about buying online is buyer's remorse. but that could be said about any kind of shopping.

Yep, just a small electronic item. It was supposed to arrive in 5-6 days.
Something must have gone wrong in customs it has been sitting there for 12 days before it was cleared.

Your item cleared customs in CANADA at 3:51 pm on July 26, 2004.
Information, if available, is updated every evening. Please check again later.
This is the tracking info I have so far.

* INTO FOREIGN CUSTOMS, CANADA, July 20, 2004, 11:24 am
* INTO FOREIGN CUSTOMS, CANADA, July 15, 2004, 1:08 pm
* ARRIVED ABROAD, CANADA, July 15, 2004, 1:07 pm
* INTERNATIONAL DISPATCH, Chicago (O'Hare) AMC, July 13, 2004, 9:30 pm
* ENROUTE, July 12, 2004, 5:11 pm, DENVER, CO

I've got a Pioneer 8600 and Infinity Kappa 6.5" Components in the mail, just received my two Xtant subs and the rear Infinity Kappa Coaxials by fed-ex... And I bought my Orion 250g4 amp a long time ago, but I've been trying to sell it for $300 and I have no takers. :/

I'm waiting on a g4 powerbook off ebay. I expected shipping would take a while since it's coming from Nigeria, and it's been 5 weeks so far. I didn't know, but the seller told me no shippers offer tracking numbers from Nigeria. So I continue to wait.... But I bought a ton of software and accessories for it in the meantime! I can't wait until it gets here, I know this is how grandma would have wanted me to use the inheritance.

So I always have to wait for the slip (i.e. UPS infonotice) to be stuck to my door, go to the shipper's website and shcedule a pick-up at the customer counter, and then pick up my package in person the next day at the service counter.
Fortunately, we live down a lengthy driveway, so they almost always leave it on the doorstep since it's rather unlikely anybody is going to come steal it.. I guess.

I'm waiting for $300 in clothes... it sucks, cause I have nothing to wear in the meantime (well, not literally nothing, but I'm down to 4 shirts, 1 pair of jeans, and 1 pair of cargo pants). everything else is either too big, too small, or for the winter.

though if the temperature suddenly dropped down to 40 F, I'd be all set with my closet full of heavy shirts and sweaters. heh.

I also have nowhere to put the clothes... gotta work on buying a second dresser (not to mention another 3 bookshelves).

but I can read naked ;)

it's not a money issue, I just have no way of transporting a dresser. not old enough to rent a car, and while my parents have an SUV, I hate driving it, especially on highways. so I need to suck it up and wait until my mom is done with summer school, at which point she can chauffer me to Ikea :p
