[QUOTE="Macromius, post: 8359704, member: 90772"]Yeah, that China thing is astounding. Wow! Somebody please translate. Let's see, I've had 2 coins mailed to me from within the continental US make side trips to Hawaii. (To my wife: Hey honey my Faustina sestertius is vacationing on the beach in Hawaii! She just shook her head, not at all surprised.) That Faustina, she sure gets around. Then there was the time the coin I ordered from Alabama went straight to Puerto Rico right as a hurricane was bearing down on the island. I almost crapped myself, but it all turned ok eventually. Thing is, I strongly suspect this sort of thing was happening all the time before we could track mail online. We were just spared the ugly details, and frankly I was better off being kept in the dark. Right now: I ordered something from a town 2 hours south of me. Foolish me, I thought it would get here quickly. Now its bouncing around like a pinball in Washington, a state north of me. It could easily go to Hawaii, and I am [B]not [/B]joking.[/QUOTE]
