February 1, 201016 yr Ummm, unless I am misunderstanding this, it's time to unleash the dogs... http://www.coldplaying.com/forum/showthread.php?t=67525They are obviously not a Coldplayer, they posted Coldplay things in the Lounge and everyone knows Coldplay is hated over there. :laugh3: Hope they lose a fortune, douchebags!
February 1, 201016 yr Ummm, unless I am misunderstanding this, it's time to unleash the dogs... http://www.coldplaying.com/forum/showthread.php?t=67525 Hi! Like I said in the other thread - seems it's just unclear wording in the description on ebay :)
February 1, 201016 yr Hi! Like I said in the other thread - seems it's just unclear wording in the description on ebay :) Yes, I just noticed. I was freaking out like rrrrrrrrrrraaaaaaaaaaawwwwwwwwwrrrrrrrrrrrrrr, but it's okay now. It's not an original, just a guitar this person painted by hand. I think they should remove the picture of the boys holding it though, that's very misleading.
February 1, 201016 yr I admire your patience. I can't believe you can just sit there in front of the box and have the self discipline to not open it till the next day. :) I would just go to sleep so I wouldn't have to think about it. :D Well, 6pm came and went, and still no package. So I called DHL to see if they have better detail other than 'with delivery courier', and the lady said it looked like it was still in route. Apparently they deliver to residences up to 8pm. :stunned: I didn't realize that. So, it might still get here in the next hour or so...
February 2, 201016 yr Anyone else received a bill for import duties etc.? Just got a bill for $1350 AUD, about $1200 US$ from Australian Customs. Didn't quite expect that,(could have bought a nice lith to go with the bass for that) Make Trade Fair?:lol: Not much I can do about it I suppose, apparently there are no more obstacles now and I should expect my package either tomorrow or Thursday. (then again, that's what they told me last Monday and the Monday before, but I'm a bit more optimistic this time around) @numbersgirl, got the day off again tomorrow then? Agh, you really have no luck in getting your guitar :\ I hope it will reach you soon now!! Yes, I just noticed. I was freaking out like rrrrrrrrrrraaaaaaaaaaawwwwwwwwwrrrrrrrrrrrrrr, but it's okay now. It's not an original, just a guitar this person painted by hand. I think they should remove the picture of the boys holding it though, that's very misleading. Yes, they should remove the picture of the boys! It's like trying to make profit out of them, by copying their guitar. This person probably noticed the high amount the End of Decade Sale raised, and wanted to pick a grain of it too. Don't like :angry: I would just go to sleep so I wouldn't have to think about it. :D Well, 6pm came and went, and still no package.

Did it arrive??? :lol:

Holy guacamole, that's a lot of money for import duties. I wouldn't have guessed it would be anywhere near that much. :stunned: No globe yet. So, it was on the truck for 9 hours but didn't manage to make it to my house by 8pm. :thinking: I'll probably call DHL this morning to see if they can give me a better timeframe...

Sorry for the multiple updates, but... So, I called DHL, and they said it looks like it is with a third party delivery service now. Which basically means there's no way to track it anymore. Then I search the DHL website for additional info, and I find this: DHL Express U.S. will discontinue all U.S. domestic express and ground services by January 30, 2009. This advanced notice will allow customers to effectively manage through the peak season and provides ample time for them to transition to other providers as required. Ummm, what the fuuhhhhhhhhhh :bigcry: http://www.dhl.com/publish/g0/en/press/USA_Business_FAQs.high.html
February 2, 201016 yr ^ Afeather, I already e-mailed Gemma to let her know to take that into consideration for anyone in the U.S. who purchased VIVA items to be dispatched after the Latin America tour. I also called DHL again to get a little more info on the third party they passed it off to, and the lady told me it was some company called MTPT, but they didn't have a phone number for it. I couldn't find anything online indicating MTPT exists, so I have no way of contacting them, and DHL isn't tracking it anymore (I don't think), so... Oh, and surprise surprise, nothing is here yet.
February 2, 201016 yr Aw, Carrie :( I'm so sorry for you! I'm not good with time zones, do you still have a chance of getting it today?
February 2, 201016 yr Aw, Carrie :( I'm so sorry for you! I'm not good with time zones, do you still have a chance of getting it today? I think there may be a couple of hours left in hopes of getting it today. I just don't understand how there can not be any contact information for that company. :confused:
February 2, 201016 yr I think there may be a couple of hours left in hopes of getting it today. I just don't understand how there can not be any contact information for that company. :confused:I would call DHL back, ask for a supervisor and demand at least a phone number for the third party. That's bullshit! :angry:
February 2, 201016 yr Ummm... it just arrived. :dance: And guess who delivered it... DHL. wtf?!?!? :freak: Why did they tell me some company called M-whatever was going to deliver it? I'll post some pics of the package shortly. Yes, PACKAGE ONLY. As I mentioned earlier, I'm going to open it with a couple of people I work with (fellow fans) tomorrow.
February 2, 201016 yr I knew it was going to be bubble-wrapped, but I thought it would be in a box too. Oh well, whatever works I suppose. Package only for now, I'll post pics of the "real thing" later tomorrow... Sitting near its future home (as you can see, I am fond of globes) My Kitty wants to see it, but she's gonna have to wait too... :lol:
February 2, 201016 yr Aren't you spazzing out?! :D I totally would! :freak: :P :dance: You have such a cute kitty! :D
February 2, 201016 yr Oh how exciting!! You are so strong that you don't rip the packaging straight away! :stunned:
February 2, 201016 yr So awesome! I'm impressed, I just couldn't resist :D Can't wait to see what's inside :dance:
February 3, 201016 yr Ummm... it just arrived. :dance: And guess who delivered it... DHL. wtf?!?!? :freak: Why did they tell me some company called M-whatever was going to deliver it?

Weeeeeee let Kitty open it, let Kitty open it! :wacko:
February 3, 201016 yr So did you get a big fat bill from the Tax man like poor Mr Rickenbacker? :wacko: Nope, nothing. I think it may go back to my original theory a few weeks ago, which is that in the U.S. it would be something that you have to declare on your income tax return (as a tax that you haven't paid yet). Even so, I wouldn't have to worry about that for the 2009 tax return due in April, it wouldn't apply until 'next year'. *I foresee a memory lapse next year around this time. :smug:*
February 3, 201016 yr Wow you won the globe?! That's so great , congrats! I can't wait to see it once it's opened! :dance: And of course congrats to all the other lucky Coldplayers who were successful in winning some of the auctioned items. The pics are great and the items look absolutely stunning :nice:
February 3, 201016 yr I'm so excited to see pictures of the globe, NumbersGirl! Your cat is adorable. :nice:
