PammieD's Love is in the Air Package Train

[missbee217]

Cuban rum! yum yum! and cuban vanilla is awesome for baking!

I always tend to go overboard with the trains :p I don't stick to limits well- ha ha

I have some stuff I want to order, but worried it won;t come on time... are you online shoppers ordering from Canadian sites?

Canadian sites such as TCP, Old Navy, amazon.ca arrive VERY quick; American ones I order from tend to take over a week, some have taken weeks (eg ShoeDazzle and DrJays).
Before Christmas, I placed an order on the TCP website around 2:30 Monday morning; at 5 something am I received an order saying it had been processed, and my package was delivered at 3 something that same afternoon!
The Old Navy order I placed at the same time arrived Thursday, but that is about a day later than it would normally arrive...

I dont really have GASP a budget per say. I kinda just go with a feeling like a theme of who the person is. I almost forget that I am getting a package until it comes than I am so excited because I know that person spent days sometime month thinking of the perfect thing to get me. I figure I am cheap everywhere else this is like my cheat! and DH hubby loves he sees how happy it makes me and it its cheaper than therapy!

Most stuff from the US gets to me in 11 days lol, but that's from when it ships, and sometimes places are slow to ship things. So for this I have stuck to Canadian ETSY shops, Amazon.ca & Walmart.ca. I am starting to look for Easter things too already though, in anticipation of that train lol.

I just noticed amazon.ca has the Prime thing available now, apparently it's very popular in the US so they have brought it to Canada, says first month free (of course lol) and then $79 plus tax for the year, you get 2 day shipping, and I'm not sure what else.

Mailman must be here, dog is getting antsy...

If my buddy can order from Amazon.com I would like this for my DD (I have been looking all over or these and can't seem to find them in Canada)

PS: what is TCP?

[missbee217]

I'm shopping off amazon.com and picking them up over the border, it's just a stone's throw away and I save a ton of money! amazon.ca is nearly double the price!

I know! It is crazy! It is the same with ToysRUs.com and Walmart.com!
They have so much more stuff at such better prices! (but Walmart.com doesn't ship here, and ToysRUs.com can't send video games across the border )

Dislike, this will make everything $0.04 more




ooo Rum please! White not dark (I love dark but my tummy doesn't!)



lucky duck! Mines pretty light but the first day is super cramps (which I didn't have pre- DD)

Which reminds me I have a confession to make as long as no one tells my hubby and ruins the fun! after DD was born I had extreme PMS for like 6 to a year, I don't have it anymore but now I just pretend, then use PMS as an excuse! BAHAHAHA (hubby is a good guy but a HUGE procrastinator, and sometimes I needs to be b!tched at)
!

That is HILARIOUS!

Lucky! I need to find a way to order from Amazon.com, we never go to the states!

They ship quite a bit to Canada, but there are somethings that they can't...

This is the first time I have done 100% online shopping for my buddy. Feels weird. Oh, wait... pammie did shop in person for my buddy.... so 98% online.

I never thought of this until now (DUH!)

Buddy: Would you like anything from Cuba? Rum, Cigars(for hubby?!?)... anything???

Could you check the beach for my ankle bracelet? I lost it last time I was there. It has pretty purple beads, and slid open and close. Thanks!

Rum is a definite. YES! (amber rum)

not sure what shipping is from them directly, but it's a Canadian site (in Ottawa) just in case anyone needs/wants to find them here

I can relate...My husband is one of the cheapest people I have ever met in my life, yet he doesn't say anything about me doing these! I was REALLY waiting for him to say something when I was wrapping and packing up for the advent train, but nothing...?
