Crap, packet still hasn't arrived.
21.04.09 at 22:16:03

One of the rarest pieces of hardware, Creative Blaster VLB in sealed box, in mint condition, was shipped to me on the 3rd from the states, I requested Priority mail.

Usually it takes a week or so, sometimes even less, it still hasn't arrived. I'm seriously so depressed about it, it looks like it has been lost in the post if it doesn't come this week.

In all the time I've been collecting in a serious manner, this is the only time I've seen it, in fact it's so rare, that there is only one proper picture of on the net, and one scan from a magazine.

I can't believe this, there is a slight possibilty that it was shipped first class, and due to easter and everything being delayed, but then it should be here before friday. In like almost 200 transactions from the states, I've only lost one parcel, and that was over christmas, and it was first class USPS.

Sorry for posting, but I just had to get it off my chest. Cry

Just give it some time. To be honest, Im amazed that our respective postal systems work as well as they do. A million things could have happened to hold up your package. I ordered a package one time and it actually took a month to show up after it had been shipped. It must have got misplaced then someone found it and pushed it through. Be positive. Cool
