Good Morning. Looks like Ms PT's escape is falling into place, got her train tickets to Madrid and she is supposed to fly-out to OKC via Dallas this coming Monday. Has to spend Sunday night in Madrid and that was tough to find as 95% of the hotels are closed as they only have 2 trains a day now to Madrid. I just checked and AA's first flight from Dallas arriving Madrid today so looks like they are starting up the schedule.

    Good morning. PT, I'm glad that's working out for her. Is she picking up any vape stuff for you this time?

    My work picked up a little this week but no where near what it should have for this time of year. Right now I'm just glad to get some stuff billed out each day even if it's not enough to make my labor report look good.

    Good morning, hitt :) I hope your work continues to pick up.

    Me too. A long time customer of mine was in our store this morning when I got to work dropping off a machine for repair. I've got enough work right now to get me through today and maybe Monday. That's been about as good as it's gotten since this whole pandemic started.

    That’s a big plus. Hope it continues.

    Fran, you mean shipped from the states? If so no, as the customs here is crazy, the second year we lived here a friend surprised me by sending a box of BBQ sauce, some Mexican salsa about $40 worth and then he paid $30 to have it shipped to me. Well I got a notice from government that I can pick up my box at the post office but taxes were $50.

    Another example is Yaleq I order some cheap e-liq from them and they were originally shipped to the US when I lived there. Well they have moved production to Bulgaria which is in the EU but they can't ship nicotine to Spain and believe it or not a lot cheaper for me to have it shipped to OK and carry it over in a suit case. Go figure. Also all these Chinese places will ship pod systems to Spain but much more expensive.

    Yeah that's what I currently do, another example is Levi Jeans, I wait till around fall when they go on sale and its $30 a pair shipped to OK. I or Ms PT will bring it back to Spain. In EU the same pair of Jeans on sale about $70. Reebok tennis shoes which I go through at least 2-3 pairs a year are about $30 on sale in US but the cheapest I've seen here for similar model was about $45.

    Good morning. PT, you’re quite the smart shopper. I don’t blame you for not buying stuff there.
    Yeah but its relative, we thought potato peelers here at most stores about $3 but can get in US for $1.50 or less, is it worth bringing it back for the few cents in savings?
