And I do symphatize with the author, everything she said is true judging from personal experience. I always order from dx.com, obostore and other stores who send parcels via hongkong post. I always receive the package already opened. I guess it is just a matter of time before something gets stolen.Anthony Castrohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02915435567503471256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3100788116354675609.post-28990131407608736332012-12-18T10:34:57.476+03:002012-12-18T10:34:57.476+03:00I have ordered T-Shirts from USA (TOMMY HILFIGHER)...I have ordered T-Shirts from USA (TOMMY HILFIGHER)from E-Bay and as per their records its delivred and till date (3 months from Order) not yet recieved.

However, justifying a nations problems and issues by downplaying them and highlighting other another country's issues instead is foolish. It appears you wish Saudi had never found oil, and never gotten rich, which is a fair enough point, but hardly appropriate here, and by the way Saudi Arabia was Geoffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12774939660682847174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3100788116354675609.post-64398546933345727792012-10-01T20:29:57.179+03:002012-10-01T20:29:57.179+03:00Dear Layla, I can assure you the Indian Post is no...Dear Layla, I can assure you the Indian Post is not much better.
