  • Yeah, owning a MAME cab only leads to owning real ones. MAME just isn't good enough. It's a gateway drug.

Man, one thing I loved about ordering from Ultimarc was the ---smurfin---' DHL delivery. So fast. Usually I'd have my order from the UK to Oklahoma within two days.

This is ---steaming pile of meadow muffin---.

That's the one thing I hated was DHL.  Especially in the UK.

Finally the Lord has answered my prayers, and I hope and pray Andy will use Citylink and FedEx.   :woot

But I must remind myself one miracle is enough, and I shouldn't push my luck.   :angel:

Andy will get more of my business, if he switches to Citylink for his UK deliveries. ;D

If I had only one wish, it would be for three more wishes.

How about Royal Mail?

Andy,

How about changing your shipping options to include Royal Mail too?
For UK orders we can arrange this option. If you drop me an email we can set this up.

Royal Mail maybe ok, but its partners abroad.....  >:D
Selektmail deals with their stuff here, and their delivery can be very bad and smelly.

I wonder how this will affect Andy.

As far as andi shipping to the US, it wont:

It said its international shipping services to and from the U.S. would continue.

They are just stopping the domestic shipping in the US and closing their shipping stores. They will still do delivery to premesis, but only for international orders.

I must have been in too much shock about that reply and erased it from my memory.  Seriously I don't remember that post. Nor is there any hint of RM on his website.  Good to know now, as I need some parts. ;D

I'm not sure that's what that means. I think it means they'll still fly it to the airport and the rest is done by someone else.
