maybe customs. USPS could track the label number, and it never advanced past NY for a couple weeks. I asked at the local office, and the woman there suggested I wait til after that weekend, and they would check on it. It ended up arriving that Monday, so I did not find out what the hold up was. The package was registered mail, it should have been first on the trucks at arrival.
I have this notion in the back of my head that if I had asked about it a week earlier, it would have arrived a week earlier - the postage goblins were just waiting to get a rise out of me.
I paid for the expedited shipping. The only way to insure my purchases.
Bah, I still have to order mine...thinking about getting the medium size from Hida I suppose :p
I'm glad you mentioned him as i was bout to post bout this as I saw one of the auctions. I checked his feedback and while I've seen couple where he sold the same stone and one cracked and the other buyer never got his. Sure others were satisfied-not to disparage the seller but it sure doesn't give one peace of mind when purchasing. Add to that he claims I should be able to get the package at latest 23 days?
I had Jim send me package that arrived in week. Please tell me whats wrong with that picture. Don't say "dude's got a business and probably sending off thousands of items..." That's irrelevant. If I paid for something, I expect it to be shipped and not have to worry about receiving the item or not.
Carry on... :P
I paid for a Dragon's Tongue on Oct 23. Not here yet.
I paid for my Aoto on Oct 30 with another stone and expedited shipping.
I Paid for my Nakayama through his website on Nov. 1.
The race is on.
I can't help but mention these are the nakayama I ordered:
330mate 天„*Ÿ *Ÿ 天„*Ÿ販売 •‚ž‚ŒŠ˜* *œ山
I think this is Asagi Karasu
天„*Ÿ€€whetstones > 京ƒ€€山ŸŽŠ˜* [central Kyoto Honyama Yamashiro-mate] - Blue 天„*Ÿ *œ山 山ŸŽŠ˜* 総„板梨œ Kiita Nashiji!! 2568 - 天„*Ÿ Šˆ* *œ山 山ŸŽŠ˜* ™鷹Œ…丁 Ž„翁 ‰‹ ‘
I think this is Kiita Najishi with some Momiji
Anyone got his aoto from 330mate yet? I received mine today, spent a few hours with it and am about 85% sure mine is of no use for razors because of its (lack) of quality.
There are many rust-colored veins and spots in mine that are much harder than the stone, stand out and chip the edge. Also, it is quite slow for a bevel setter IMO.
can you post the picture of it? something doesn't look like right?
