the tracking said it was down at the airport again so I figured it was being returned, I was surprised I did have it in the end.

Something came in the mail today…but I dunno what. Only thing I know for sure at this point is that ups wants us to pay 40$in brokerage fees….other half is going to get me more info since there are only 3 things on the way to me that I know about and all of which are worth less than the 40$ in fees…. Grrrrrr

Whaaaat? Only if you ordered something other than just tea should there be any fees…

I thought we weren’t getting any mail today, but magically here my Ovation order is! I didn’t realize how much five and a half pounds of tea was until I actually had it in my hands, wow! Now to spend a whole lot of time portioning it all out and labeling it…

Small
T.C. said 2013-02-18 13:53:16 -0500

YAY! I see tea in my future!
(and yeah…5+ lbs of tea is some serious tea haha)

Jealous you got a delivery today!

Alphakitty said 2013-02-18 17:38:59 -0500

It really surprised me, I wasn’t expecting anything so when they buzzed my apartment I thought it was a dream and almost went back to sleep XD

Small
Sil said 2013-02-18 18:52:00 -0500

Haha awesome. I can’t imagine having 5lbs of tea in my house…except that I probably do..just in little bags haha

Dustin said 2013-02-19 00:34:58 -0500

That is exciting! Mine is scheduled to be delivered tomorrow. I got half a pound less than you, Alphakitty. I want to dump it on the floor and roll in it!

My Ovation order came sometime this weekend, I guess, since there wasn’t delivery today and I had mail. Frequently I don’t check the mail on Saturdays. Anyway, Ovation order came, minus the Blackberry Mint black tea because apparently they ran out before they got to my order. I did get a refund.

Today my I got some samples in the mail from NINA’s Paris. Excited to try them as I have not tried many different teas yet.

I am having serious withdrawls from tea in the mail. I’m waiting on a DAVIDs order and a 52teas order and who knows what else because I never remember. Keeping my fingers crossed for today.

Small
T.C. said 2013-02-19 13:45:24 -0500

I’m the same way…memory just doesn’t work anymore. I know I have tea on the way but can’t remember what or from who.

Small
Jackie T said 2013-02-19 15:05:40 -0500

it’s like Christmas every time the mail comes! You look at the return address and still can’t remember what you ordered, way too fun.

I got my DAVIDsTEA order this morning. mmmmmm oolong!
However realized how little Banana nut bread you get in 100g, so hopefully I can order more tomorrow before it’s gone.

Technically I didn’t get it in the mail today, but I recently received a Custom Try Me Pack from Della Terra. I ordered Apple Cinnamon Yogurt, Lime Chiffon (which is to die for!), Mellow Mango Peach, Classic Apple Pie, and Mother of Pearl Pu-Erh.
