    Default Retention - is my razor in jail?

    Has anyone seen "Retention" as part of the shipping track record with ordering something from Japan?
    I had a razor on the way and that's the current status. I'm imagining my razor under a bright light being interrogated.

    It is funny the things that show up on tracking searches sometimes. once I had a package show as delivery attempted, but then it went to clearing customs, and then the normal order of things. Sometimes I think that the automated systems make mistakes and say things that don't actually make sense. Glad you have you razor, or do you. Upcoming pics?

    I bet your relieved. The shipping systems have been wacky lately. I have a pair of boots coming that apparently have 2,000 miles on them in a months time and they haven't left Texas yet. In fact they went right back to where they started from :<0(

    Wow, worth the wacky wait !

    Are we doing crazy shipping stories? Nice razor. I know nothing about that brand of razor other than it looks sweet. It says made in Japan on the blade, when?

    You know that's a good question - not sure of the dates on these. Maybe someone else knows
