Food Parcel Request!

Sundae · 05-06-2010, 05:16 AM

Don't worry, I will pay both for the items and shipping.
I just can't pay until Monday and I need the items shipped by then.
Take pity on a poor English girl with no access to cheap American food

I'm after a block of Velveeta Cheese and a can of Hormel No Bean Chili.
The cheese I could get in the UK, but it's not guaranteed I'd get it in time if I purchased Monday and of course I'd have to pay shipping costs anyway.

I haven't found anywhere to get single cans of No Bean Chili.
Even on eBay you have to order from the States.

Obviously you'll have to trust me for the money (it'll be via PayPal if you have it) but I promise I haven't hung around here for 4.5 years just to try and scam you out of approx $20. Really.

PM me if you prefer to do it that way.
I am happy to send food to the same value in return if you prefer.

ETA - I need it for Friday 14th.
If you don't think that's possible just say and I'll give up the idea

sg - I'm sending the goodies. No money. Send me some books you've liked you wench!

Thanks a million, darling.

OK, you're good then.

My work here is done.

As it turned out, the postage was RIDICULOUS!
Bri called me to apologise, but there was nothing to apologise for - neither of us were worldly enough to think about that.

So I'm making Chili Con Queso using an English cheese spread (McLelland Seriously Strong Cheddar) and added ingredients.

What I'm gritting my teeth over is the lack of Strawberry Daiquiri Mix. Paid (using Mum's card) via PayPal on Sunday. Now Thurdsday and no sign of it. No reply to my answerphone message from yesterday. No reply to the email written yesterday. This is looking like something that won't arrive. Personally gutted because I went with a cheaper website. For the sake of £1.49 I would have the product by now. Nope, I had to go for the cheapest site. Now it looks like we'll have to go with frozen Margaritas. Not a complete disaster, but I wanted to give them something different.

S*I*G*H*

"answerphone" - that made me smile

Sundae · 05-13-2010, 10:23 AM

I'm guessing that's not a universal term then..?

No response AGAIN to message left. No email back.

GUTTED.

Am going to decant Margarita mix into a 2l plastic bottle (water expands doncha know) and serve iced Margaritas instead. From tomorrow I'll start posting the name of the website that fucked us up the arse. Without lube. Hopefully I can cancel my PayPal paymrnt, but I'd far rather have had the order filled.

Bastards.

Sundae: Sorry you got screwed by a website; I know how that feels.

I'm sure you can get your money back with paypal, as long as you're within certain days. Anyways, I'm a tad curious. A block of cheese and a can of chili sound heavy to me, especially for international shipping. How much shipping cost were you willing? Just curious, not a criticism.
