A little game to make the time go faster for Elphaba

[Elphaba13]

Ok, I have an order on the way. My orders arent tracked because they are outside the states. Generally my orders in the past have taken from between 9 and 16 days to arrive. Presumably it depends how long they take to clear customs.

I have some new flavours coming, and lots and lots of samples. And, as always, I'm just excited by the prospect of a juice order, and start to get keen about this time in every delivery process.

So, since my order was processed through the sort facility in Arizona on Sunday 22 May (your time) and it is currently Wednesday 1 June (my time) when will it arrive on my doorstep? Person to guess correctly wins nothing except the knowledge they have kept me entertained during this difficult waiting period.

PS: VGF: Need an update on how your custard is steeping, so I know when to crack open my 30mls when it arrives. I'm really looking forward to it!

I think it will arrive Friday, June 3 (our time). I can't believe you ordered new flavors! Whatever possessed you to do this?

Custard isn't quite ready yet, but I noticed that liquid is getting darker after I left the cap off overnight. My 10 ml. bottle is a reddish brown color (but clear).

OK, this is my kind of game! One that doesn't have a prize that would come in the mail (I don't do so well on those!)

My guess is June 3, 2011

Yes, well, no comment.

Ok, so I have 2 for Friday. I can live with that. No mail on weekends here, so don't guess the weekend, anyone!

Thanks for clearing that up. I'll go for Monday, June 7.

You have no mail delivery on weekends? Oh my gosh; that would drive me crazy.

My guess is June 6th....

 

[technovapir]

I'm going to go with June 13th. I've added some time due to Memorial Day delay on the State postal side,and there have been delays all over because of weather in the midwest... plus the fact that Australia is a day ahead, and it's sort of like Time Travel - since it'll be a different date and season up here on the northern hemi... So, it was mailed in Spring and will be delivered in Autumn right?
Apparently I've watched too much Dr Who and my brain is all mushed up tonight!

 

[Elphaba13]

Techovapir you are a veritable portent of doom! And it should have been out of the States well before memorial day. I hope you are wrong! And it's winter now, so it was mailed in spring and will be delivered in winter!

And I'm very sad that nobody has said "cheer up Elph, it will be on the doorstep when you get home from work tonight". Sniff.

 

[chimney55]

You didn't put that in the rules for the game!!!!

"cheer up Elph, it will be on the doorstep when you get home from work tonight".

 

[technovapir]

Sorry for not cheering you up Elph! What I meant to say was... I will hop on a jet and deliver it to you in person tomorrow! Then we can meet each other and enjoy a cupa tea with our favorite vapes... and perhaps you can explain vegemite to me...

 

[Elphaba13]

Techno: much better!!

 

[technovapir]

So, Elphaba, did you get it yet? did you? did you?
Also - I have noticed lately MANY Aussie's joining the new members forum on a daily basis. I just wish we could HEAR you all talking instead of just reading it on the forum. Nothing brightens my day more than listening to that down under accent...
speaking of which...have you seen this video? This kid does 24 or more english accents...he swears in them too, but that just makes it more funny. His American versions are spot on...YouTube - ‪The English Language In 24 Accents‬‏

 

[Elphaba13]

Not yet! Maybe when I get home today?

I'll have to check out that video when I get home, too.

 

[vaporgalinfla]

So... Techno, I thought you were going to fly to Australia to have tea with Elphaba and deliver the package. What happened?

 

[Elphaba13]

Yeah! The tea's gone cold!!!!!! Where the hell are you? And more to the point, where's my juice???????

 

[technovapir]

Ah, sorry about that..I had a wee bit of trouble with TSA & all the juice bottles going thru the scanner... But I DID watch a special on TV about Australia tonight! So, I was there in spirit...

Well, it's the effort that counts. Sorry you had trouble with TSA.

 

[Ande]

I predict it'll arrive on June 6th. That's Monday, isn't it?

Let us know as soon as it gets there, and then we can start betting on mine.

Couple of big bottiles of juice, some smaller ones, and LOTS of sampler packs are on their way to Korea... Ordered on the 28th...

Hey Elphaba, the TSA their talking about is the US govmint people that pat you down at the airport. I really like them pat downs!

The last time I had to go somewhere on an airplane I went back through two more times to get patted down again. At my age, that's about as exciting as it gets.
