Too Much Shipping!
Apr. 22nd, 2008 08:27 pm(possibly necessary note: the title does not refer to pairing fictional characters off)
Over the past few months, I've wound up placing several orders at an online anime store, all of them sharing the common factor of mixing preorders and catalog titles... I had figured that they would ship when the preorders were available, which would space them out nicely. One of those orders, to be true, had become delayed because just one of the DVDs in it remained in the black hole the crisis at ADV Films seemed to have dug, and that was a little aggravating... and then I heard the interesting news that another anime company had picked up the missing series for release... and then a few days later, the titles now available for sale from five different orders all shipped at once, leaving only the stuff still on preorder. No doubt, of course, there's no real connection between those events, but it was still a(n affordable) shock to the credit card and invokes thoughts of waiting with a mixture of impatience and nervousness for the packages to arrive and then finding spaces to stick them all, much less the time to watch them.
