| Do you often have trouble sending things to New Zealand? I have a friend that's been waiting for her package for over a month. Not sure if she's got it yet, but it has taken quite awhile.

After it leaves us we have no clue what happens to it and all we can do when we get angry emails is say, this is normal you didn't want the $125 UPS shipping, this is seriously the best we can do. *sigh* I won't miss that. | |

| You could always take off one piece of clothing and see what anyone says. It's your last day, I doubt you can get into too much trouble.
