Now. The rant. I FUCKING HATE POSTAL STRIKES. Ok, they may be over, but so many of my packages have been held back in the backlog chaos that ensued from about five days of strike. And I get the feeling there are still strikes going on. The packages that made it through so far are: BPAL, Nocturne Alchemy, Heaven and Earth, the Atrocious Attic decant from Tramp, and my Mythos Mixtures Halloween decants from Evil Enablers. But there's a whole lot of stuff that hasn't arrived, I'm still waiting for packages from:
-Mythos Mixtures
-Silk Road Soaps
-Magical Omaha
-Blooddrop
-Cobalt Blends
-Heaven and Earth (I made two orders, this second one may not be sent yet, so it's early days)
-Love Potion
-Possets
-Callisto
-Aeaea decant received!
-October and PPIII from Aevalin
-Chilling Cellar and Forbidding Foyer from Nursekins
-PPV from LJ
-Perilous Parlour
-Bonfire Night recieved!
-All souls 07 from LJ
-Death of Autumn
-Massage oil decants
-Decanting vials
-Queen's Salon decant
-Pumpkin Cheesecake and Spiked Punch decants (it's still early days for these)
I may be missing some things. I'm also expecting tickets for the Tut exhibition but I have no idea when those will be sent. I'm just listing my pending orders and swaps to keep track of what has gone MIA and fear will be lost in a strike-induced black hole never to be seen again. Some are replaceable, but others (like the Caffeinated Death in the MO package) are not. I am not blaming the companies or swappers/sellers for the losses at all so don't worry. I am blaming all this crap on the shoddy postal service and the postal workers who decided to go all on us these last couple of weeks.
