Well technically it hasn't even been shipped :p But it was the 11th. I checked my track & trace code last Friday and the package never left the post office so I contacted the seller and he/she said it was '"normal" and that he/she spoke with the post office and it should take another 3-5 days' yeah right. A few hours later I got another message from the seller that the post office returned the package to him/her. I just knew something was wrong, usually I get things from the us withing 8 days! I never bought things from this seller before but it was the only one that had CG Lorelei's Tiara for a reasonable price. Anyway, my package will be shipped on Monday so hopefully I'll receive it this time.

I'm sorry to hear that you probably have the same problem(s), you should definitely contact the sellers though.

Yeah, I'm going to contact them next week. I'm first going to harrass PostNL customer services one more time though. Not that it's going to change anything, mind.

What happened last time was they (allegedly) couldn't deliver the package because they couldn't find the address. So they sent it straight back to the sender. Hello? A friggin university campus? An address I always use for deliveries because there's someone in at all times to receive it? Tommyrot!

Another time it just went back for no reason. That was the eBay seller with the dappen dishes

. I was already having second thoughts about some of the shades and didn't want to pay again for shipping so she just refunded me.

This time it's several pieces going AWOL at the same time so I'm more than a bit miffed. One of them is a book from the UK, so I don't think customs or security measures have anything to do with it either. It's not like a book is spontaneously combust during transit FFS!

OK, rant over. I think I need a cup of tea now.

Omg that sucks. :eek: You only have to deal with customs when your package isn't shipped from a European country btw.

If the seller shipped it with USPS, then this could be the issue as USPS considers n/p a hazardous material which can only be shipped ground. In addition, it must be marked with the ORM-D label (other restricted material).

I believe that DHL and Fedex still ship n/p internationally, but the price is much higher (though it also arrives much faster).

It is shipped with USPS but my ebay sellers always ship NP with USPS and I've never had any problems with it before.

Maybe they didn't declare the content when they shipped it?

Anyway, I hope you get your goodies one way or the other :)

I know. That's precisely the point - I could understand things being delayed/returned due to customs not playing nice but it clearly isn't the issue right now because one of the missing items doesn't originate from outside the EU to begin with. I reckon it's more a matter of the distribution people messing up. Big time.

You know, it happened to me before and I think it's happening to me. Again. When were they shipped? My BB Coutures were shipped on the 4th and they are still nowhere to be seen. Along with some more bits and bobs that were shipped around the same time (well, one was shipped late Dec actually). My guess is they are now on their way back home. No idea why this happens but heck yeah it does. They'll look even prettier on your nails! Did you order Sweet Dreams yet? It isn't a magic cure of course but I found it to help a lot. It's also worthwhile to pay a couple of quid extra and get a good one. The really cheapo ones are no better than your regular file.  Hehe. You mean the vitamin supplements right?

lol ya I Try to take mine everyday but I forget most of the time lol. I use a nailtique treatment since I wore fake nails for so long. it really helps but I think the glass file is really going to help. I was going to get the one from sephora. it's like $10. they have a diamond one that $28 but I think that's too much lol. which one do u use?

When was yours sent? I received my shipping notification on the 16th and received my NPs last Thursday. If you got your notification around that time my guess is your goodies are well on their way to you as I type.

I use Herome but that's only because it's widely available here. I never tried Sephora's files but I have no reason to think they're not good (I really like some of their brushes). But the diamond one may be easier on the nails and last much longer. A glass file is actually a great investment because it's something you'll use for ages... unless you drop and break it

. So I'd say go for the diamond one. But if you're not sure if you'll like using a glass file and just want to try, the Sephora one may be a better bet.
