    After all that shipping and handling, I hope it still looks like it is pictured!

    I find it difficult to wait a week for shipping! Tracking makes it harder... seeing it move ever so slowly across the globe! Let us know when you have it safely in your arms.

    We have all had some crazy well traveled packages I'm sure. It's mind boggling to say the least. I think with the amount of miles on some packages it's no wonder shipping costs are on the rise. Perhaps the mail and small package companies might want to do some flow control in an attempt to reduce operational costs.

    Mate, it sorta does, except it's shrunk !!....There were no measurements when I bought it.
    So I've discovered that these style of bottles came in at least two sizes. No matter, I'm still happy.
    That's it on the right.
