    Sounds very familiar indeed....

    I had extra hassle from Airborne Express the first time I ordered from ThinkGeek. They lost my parcel, then found it, then sent me some forms to fill in which had absolutely nothing to do with me.... then they tried to charge me storage fees as they'd had my parcel for over a fortnight!!! The cheek of it! :eeek:

    Now if I order from ThinkGeek I tend to do 1 item at a time. It's annoying, but cheaper.
