Anyone else love wating for your lasers...

[laser83]

I have what amounts to 3 lasers coming. I'll soon be getting a red laser 300mW copperburner from likeitbright. I have a custom bluray I'm having muffin_man making beyond that I'm doing a trade for a 125mW green. All goes well by the beginning of next month I'll have the 3 primary colors!

Everyday, I've been getting home hoping a package has arrived, I think that's the worst part for people new to this. With most items I'll buy directly but with lasers they must be mailed in. I think a laser store would be impossible due to lawsuits and direct walk-in retail prices would be through the roof. I have goggles before anyone brings that up!

I love the anticipation of walking to the mailbox, sticking the key in the keyhole, turning it, then slowly opening the door hoping to see either a nice small package, or a pink slip saying it's in the front office.
But when it's not there

I've been waiting for 2 weeks now to get my 1st laser (200mW red laser from o-like) and its driving me nuts waiting! Every few hours I check the status of the package and its said the same thing for over a week now...UGHHHHH its killing me!

I instinctively check the boards to see if I have a package waiting for me, whether I've ordered something or not. The desk workers at my dorm think I'm insane...

haha i know when i get a shipment in cause it take the mail lady forever cause she has to scan like 7 diff packages (delivery confirmation). i bet she loves me

I'm stoked! The tracking info said it left NY today and is set for a 2-3 day delivery.

I called USPS a few days ago to see what information they could give me and the lady told me it was in customs possession locked up...she made it sound like they weren't gonna send it to me. I hope its 2 days and not 3, but going from NY to Kansas City would probably take 3 days with my luck.

"Locked up" can simply mean that they haven't even gotten to opening the container yet or it is sitting on someone's desk waiting to be "cleared." It doesn't really mean anything.

Peace,

i just shipped from here in missouri about an hour from KC to new york, and it took 4 days usps priority, but that was also through a sunday and presidents day.
