Does anyone after me on the list have any requests from my cupboard?

Kirlika said

I’d love to try some Paris if you have any to spare :)

Ubacat said

Maybe some Fujian Ti Kuan Yin/Adagio Teas or Oriental Beauty/Cloudwalker tea if you can spare it. It might not last before it comes to me since I’m a few down from you. Thanks for asking.

Jillian said

Kirlika – I can certainly do that if you don’t mind that it’s in sachet form.
Ubacat – I can send along some of the Adagio Ti Kuan Yin but someone else I’m swapping with already has dibs on the Cloudwalker Oriental Beauty.

Kirlika said

:) works for me! Thanks!

Ubacat said

No problem! Thanks Jillian!

Just looking for an update on the box. I know steepster hasn’t been too cooperative lately…

Hi, sorry about the lack of updates. I got slammed with coursework and fieldwork for those courses. The box will get posted tomorrow.

Lala said

Not a problem. Steepster has not been working for FOREVER!?!?!?! so I just wanted to make sure I didn’t miss out on what was happening with the box.

Any updates?

Kirlika said

I sent Jillian my address almost a month ago and aside from the update above I’ve not heard anything as of yet.

I sent Jillian a PM two days ago. Just waiting to here back. I looks like she hasn’t been on steepster in a few days.

Update: Just recd a msg from Jillian. The box went out in the mail when she last posted, which looks like was 19 days ago.

Fingers crossed it shows up soon.

Ubacat said

Wow, no news yet on it? Wonder if it’s gotten lost.

Lala said

Still hasn’t been received by Kirlika (as of yesterday). I sent a PM to Jillian asking if she put tracking on the box. Haven’t heard back yet. I will post when I do.

It is looking like it may be lost, but hopefully not forever.

Sil select said

maybe jillian has the tracking…she posted a tasting note yesterday so maybe she just didn’t see this stuff :(

Lala said

I have PMd her, haven’t heard back yet..

Dear Friends,
It is with sadness in my teacup that I announce that the tea box appears to be lost.
As far as I am aware, it was sent out over a month ago but never arrived. I have PMd Jillian to see if there was tracking on the box, however I have not heard back from her yet.
I’m not sure what to do at this point. If it does show up we will just keep it moving through the list.
Cheers to at least 2.5 rounds before the box disappeared.

booooooooooooooooooooooo

Ubacat said

Oh , that’s so sad. Sorry to hear that.

Kirlika said

Actually…

I just got home and found an interesting package waiting for me in front of my door! Guess what arrived?!? :)

Lala said

Oh Jeez! That is hilarious. I guess all that needed to happen was for me to officially say it was lost!

Sil select said

hahahahaha awesome!

Lala said

This is too much drama for me. Ha ha.

VariaTEA said

This one particular thread was like an emotional rollercoaster :P

Dexter said

Ubacat said

Great news! Glad it arrived!

Ok just a bit of a heads up to everyone, the next week and a bit are super busy for me so I won’t be able to turn this around until early Nov.

That said I’m super excited to dig into the box. There looks like there a ton of great teas in there!

Lala said

Hey Kirlika, just wondering if you had an update on the box. No hurry, just don’t want to lose track of it.

Kirlika said

No worries. I’ve still got it and I’ve got an extra long weekend to go through it. I’ll keep you posted. :)

Hi there, I’d like to apologize to everyone for the huge delay. I’m so relieved that the box finally decided to show up as I was getting set to make up a replacement and ship via Fedex or some company that doesn’t hate me. Unfortunately this isn’t the first time I’ve had problems with Canada Post delaying deliveries (to and from) in my area – I did have a tracking number but it’s gotten lost somewhere in all my university papers (I’m sure I’ll find it next May).

I hope you guys enjoy the teas I added. Now that I’ve got a bit of a lull in classwork I’ll start reviewing some of the teas I sampled from the box. :)

Sil select said

ugh that sucks. Canada Post is frustrating..
