One thing I hate about living at school: getting any type of packages sent here. It seems like I have to work to obtain any type of package I order, once it gets on campus; not like when I was home any they would bring the shit to my doorstep, and I’d never even have to leave the house.
So, this is the rundown:
Two of my larger packages were scheduled for arrival today: one containing my Figma Tohsaka, Figma Aegis, and several volumes of manga, and the other containing my 1/6th Saber, 1/5th nanako, and my 1/6th Shiki. The first one got here at about 8 a.m. (arrived at destination, which is the campus mail facility, where it’s supposed to head from my dorms from there), but the lazy fucks who work at this campus never brought the shit to the dorms, and since the mail facility closes at 11 a.m. on Fridays, and stays closed until Monday, I can’t get my package until then.
The other package is supposed to arrive here later today, but since no one is at the mail facility to get it, it’ll have to be re-delivered Monday. Meaning I have to wait until Monday to get $300 worth of mail that I was supposed to get today.
I know, I know, I’m an impatient bastard, but still, the shit makes me rage so hard. I ordered about 10~ or so packages last semester, and it felt like I had to jump through hoops for every single one. Whether it was a large one (like my MW2 Xbox 360), or something small like a game or DVD; I felt like I had to put up with this same bullshit every time.
Oh, and my 1/8th Tuskino arrived yesterday, and it had a big gaping-ass hole in the box it was shipped in! I have no idea if this was because of the carelessness of the USPS, or the carelessness of the staff at my campus (I’m assuming its good ol’ USPS), but the Tuskino’s box was undamaged, for the most part…
Her box had one little dent in the corner, which led to a slight rip in it, but the figure is 100% in perfect condition, and the box itself is still displayable, since it’s just a small dent in the back. I would probably be more upset if I paid full retail price for her, but I found her really, really cheap online ($20, plus $6 shipping). So I ended up getting her for close to 1/3rd~ of what she would cost retail, shipped.
All I have is shitty camera phone pics of her, but meh, I guess I’ll post them anyway:
Tsukino~ so moe
Here you can see the dent in her box >.<
And here you can see where it ripped a little >.>
But hey, for $20, I really can’t complain. Not to mention it got here in about two days.
I can’t wait until Monday when I get my packages, and I’ll probably have a couple more packages next week too (or the next), since I still have to get my Figma Saber and Figma Canaan from amiami, my 12 month Xbox Live card from amazon (found 12 months of game time for $35, free shipping; it’s a card with a code on it, since I’m reluctant to pay retail price for Xbox Live time), and another package with some manga and anime that I ordered from rightstuff.
