breaking part is a real question..
they are awesome, but i thought to myself...not practical for me


Yeah I'll probably head to a brick and mortar and try to handle them in person sometime this weekend, and maybe just cop then if they seem good.

Usually when the shipper ships through their local service, it usually gets passed on to USPS. I know Royal Mail from UK passed the package to USPS. USPS hasn't charged me any customs fee yet so they've been good to me. Crappiest tracking system but it's gotten better from 2-3 years ago.

I was looking at gloves from Chester Jeffries and read this odd bit:

All lambskins used by Chester Jefferies have come from very small lambs, ones which have either been still-born or which have died of natural causes soon after being born.
It looks like Chester Jeffries sells a lot of gloves, so I'm wondering why there are so many lambs being still-born or dying young of natural causes?

I've only got the drones from DHL. Fedex sent me a bill in the mail with a $15 convenience fee attached to it. I've never had problems with UPS and USPS.

In an update, after e-mailing oki-ni, one of their people said they were contacting DHL for me because its never happened to them either.

I love living in the north where I can literally drive 15 minutes and be snowboarding, but I just got assigned four-six days a month of work in Tokyo and I'm happy that I'll actually have a reason to wear something other than mountain hardwear down parka and duck boots. Also moving out of my ****** 80s apartment (with free rent...) to some place actually warm will give me a reason to be fashionable again

also seeing deerhunter this weekend, and national and belle and sebastian the weekend after. **** yeah, civilization!!
