To international shipping - you suck. I had the brilliant idea that i could get myself some great summer clothes from the Gap and Old Navy while they were on sale ( you know, seeing as the northern hemisphere is coming into colder weather just in time for me to get my summer clothes ) and due to our awesome echange rate it would be cheaper than buying full price clothes here in Australia. And it was - until we factored in shipping. I had $80 worth of clothes in my basket - a bit for me, a bit for Flynny - and then bam! $64 shipping?! That international shipping flushed my whole idea down the toilet so now i cant have that cute pique polo shirt dress i had my eye on. Screw you international shipping charges. Either get cheaper or FLIP OFF!
To the person who delivers the catalogues in my neighbourhood - or, i should say, the person who USED to deliver the catalogues. I'm one of these people who actually likes getting junk mail and i havent received any for the last 2 weeks. I didnt get the BigW baby sale catalogue that i knew should have been coming and i got nothing this week either. How am i supposed to flip through those flimsy pages and dream about what i would buy if i had the money if you arent going to get those flimsy pages to me. What am i going to have to do - go online? Umm no .... i want my tangible, hold-in-your-hands, mark-the-pages type of catalogue. So get yourself together, get those catalogues folded and into my mailbox or FLIP OFF!
To the sore throat that has developed out of nowhere overnight - get.lost. Seriously, a sore throat is never just a sore throat, it always develops into something else and seeing as i'm breastfeeding and the pharmacists wont let me take any cold/flu medication, i do not need the " something else " you'll develop into. You following me? I don't need you, i don't need the cold and/or flu you will inevitably become and i most certainly don't need you passing yourself onto my fiance or my son. Especially my son - babies with sore throats do not make for good sleep. So take your itchy, scratchy, yucky tasting self and FLIP OFF!
Shipping costs are horrible here too. Amazon and I are best friends.
ReplyDeleteI get sore throats all the time in the winter thanks to my allergies. I hate taking any medication so I combine warm water and salt in a cup and use it like mouthwash. That works most of the time for me or you can purchase non-medicated throat drops.
ReplyDeleteAnyways, great flips. I'm also participating in Friday Flip-Offs this week.
I love Gap but hate the shipping. We buy from Gymboree too, its ok if you can get someone to go in with you for postage. Other option is a mail service? Also if you are a reader you MUST check out bookdepository.co.uk - free shipping and the books are ultra cheap!!
ReplyDeleteWe don't seem to be getting junk mail at the moment either - I actually watched the man deliver it to my neighbour and then turn back the way he came. Grrrrr, thats my friday flip off too!!
that shipping is outrageous. really? that is such a bummer. nothing like getting psyched for a new dress only to have Old Navy pull the rug out for under you!
ReplyDelete{I love printed catalogs too!!!}
You know, there sure seems to be a lot of that August cold thing going on. Whats up with that.
ReplyDeleteI hate those over night sore throats and runny noses. I'm getting one now. Ugh FLIP OFF!!!
ReplyDeleteomg...I love catalogs!! Whenever my catalogs get sparse, then I know that my husband has been throwing them away randomly. He says it's by accident but I know that he's just trying to keep me from shopping. ugh! great FFOs!
ReplyDeleteWow, that shipping is expensive! I love catalogues too, the Christmas ones will be coming out in the shops soon here and I'm getting excited already :D
ReplyDeleteLOL! Love it Amy! I can so totally empathise with you on all 3 of your Flip offs. I don't get catalogs in my area either, have been sick all week and sick of high shipping rates!
ReplyDeleteYes!! I am with you on the international shipping..though I've never had a charge of $64.00. That is beyond excessive!!
ReplyDeleteHope your sore throat feels better. Also, sorry for disappearing in the comments for a while there!! Life got busy!!
Booooo to sore throats! But hopefully you can get some rest since it's the weekend... and drink some TheraFlu. Feel better!!
ReplyDeleteWTF about the shipping?? that sucks!
ReplyDeletealso, I haven't been getting my catalogs either. or our town's weekly paper. annoying.
Wow that is ridiculous with the shipping. And colds...suck. My kids are all sick and I just know I'm gonna get it too. I feel for you :(. Hang in there. Thanks for the flips and the laugh.
ReplyDeleteI can't imagine paying that kind of money for shipping. Geez what a rip.
ReplyDeleteGreat flips!
Hate shipping charges......flip them right off
ReplyDeleteInt. shipping is THE worst. Shipping from the US you have to use Priority Mail for anything over 4lbs. 4lbs is not that much, that is like half of the size my kids were at birth... now that is small. I sell on the bay and I feel so sorry for the int. people who have to pay out the bum for something they got a great deal on.
ReplyDeleteHope your throat is better soon and your catalog guy shows back up in time to make you smile again!

That shipping is just ridiculous.

As for the catalogs, I love 'em too! Being able to mark the pages is important :)
