You'd think, amyth. Both the eShakti rep I talked to (repeatedly) and the FedEx support person I talked to had no idea why they wouldn't just leave it. But they wouldn't.
I'll just jump in my time machine, go back to the twelfth century, and ask the vampires to postpone their ancient prophesy for a few days while you take in dinner and a show.

This sounds like the name of a toddler hip hop group's hit album.
Hah, hilarious and true!
Did a lot of dancing last night. Will probably need to nap later--classes don't start until 11am but I went to bed at 330 and woke up at 9 :(. Also :( is I was thinking maybe this girl and I were going to make out, -and we left the dance and got in the elevator together...and then this other dude got in the elevator and was on a higher floor than both of us so it was like "uh, ok, bye??" Sigh. I didn't quite have the chutzpah to say "let me walk you to your door!" Or some shit.

Thanks, amyth. It's kind of you to offer! But at the end of the day, if a mail order company can't work out a successful method of shipping their product to me, it's on them, and they don't get my business.

I theoretically like eshakti but their dresses have not fit, even custom, a couple of times, which bums me out.
Kat or other ehakti buyers -- is there any consistency to the ill-fittingness? Like, order a size up or down, or was it more random? I've never ordered from there, but I need some dresses, and those links last night started me looking, and there are so many I really like.

It's fabulous. And pockets! They all have pockets. I want to cry with joy.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

I've only bought 1 dress from them (and that was maybe 4 years ago), but my measurements matched up with the size chart and it fit perfectly. I've heard several people say they've gotten dresses that didn't fit well, though. Maybe it's a measurements thing, like if you're in-between sizes on the chart the fit might not be good?

I just deleted some stuff we had for sale on Half.com, looked at the listing dates, and realized some of it had been up there since 2005. That means it's moved house with us twice.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
