IH-666-XHS - 25oz Selvedge Denim Slim Straight Cut Jeans - Indigo

[RocknRoll]

Where the fuck are my 666XHS ?? Paula was super-efficient at packing and sending them, but then UPS has taken them on a world tour. They were here in Australia a couple of days ago, but then they decided to check out Kentucky and Hawaii again before returning!

Hopefully there will be a knock on my door some time this afternoon. At least they should have some good travel stories when they arrive.

Fucking christ that's a world tour RR.  How in the hell is that even possible!!

[kit99bar]

jebus, Giles should get a refund on that shipment

[RocknRoll]

So long as my package turns up today or tomorrow I'll be happy.

What puzzles me is the fact that it got to Australia, but for some reason (perhaps only known to UPS) got sent on another loop!

Perhaps I have to face the fact that my jeans are globetrotting sluts.

I F%$&!NG HATE UPS!!! If ever a company was deserving of being wiped out by a class action lawsuit, it's UPS.

[RocknRoll]

I don't feel that strongly, but I definitely don't like them right now.

I have been home all day today, except for the last 20 mins when I went to the supermarket. I just got home to find I'd missed the UPS man.  Fuck.

[Giles]

They did not get to Australia and then leave again.  The scan in Australia was a virtual scan.  That is, the info about the parcel was sent electronically to Australia for pre customs processing.  This is done to speed up clearance when the package physically gets to Australia.  We shipped this late Thursday and they attempted to deliver today, 3 working days is well within gauge for UK -  Australia.  UPS have one of the largest fleets of aircraft in the world, how they decide to route a parcel may look like a mystery, but personally I don't give a shit as long as the parcel gets to the destination on or before it should.

On the whole UPS is the best of the shipping companies we have tried.  I could use EMS everywhere, but then the prices for our stuff would have to go up USD15 per pop…..

Here endeth the feckin lesson....

[RocknRoll]

Lesson humbly learnt. 

I'm just a bit emotional, as anyone would be when expecting a new baby (a 25oz baby, to be precise).

[Giles]

I will make sure I am out of contact for a week when I send your Aero…....

[RocknRoll]

I know where you live, Giles….

[Giles]

I will make sure that I ship your Aero 1 day before I go fishing in the tropics…

You can call and he might come back, I wouldn't but he might. Haha.( Im a ups man)

[RocknRoll]

Nah, it's all good. I was just pumped to get my package and then a little frustrated that I missed it.

Providing the UPS man comes today I'll give him a hug and kiss* and all will be right with the world.

• not necessarily true, but I will give him my autograph.

Licorice Noose, it's pics like those that have me convinced I'm going to own a pair of these sooner then later, very nice.

[Licorice Noose]

Go for it man. It's only money.

They're pretty tough. I usually have to patch my right knee at this point with the 21 oz denim. These aren't even worn thin yet.
