If you saw my face and totally shaven head, you would probably end up buying the cap for me just to hide the wearer! One dat I might even post a mug shot, but I think even Richard Shawcross had more luck than me in that department. I LOVE the person who said "looks aint everything" | ||

Hey George, An Alembic umbrella would be more useful than a baseball cap at the moment! Im starting to seriously consider trading the car in for a kayak! Is there actually still a sun in this universe? I woke up today and was horrified to discover that my kids have developed webbed feet  John. | ||

Two Eskimos sitting in a kayak were chilly, so they lit a fire in the craft. Unsurprisingly, it sank, proving once again that you can't have your kayak and heat it too. | ||

George's mugshot can be found second from the right here. I don't wear baseball caps but would probably buy one. Graeme | ||

Both of your orders are boxed up, and will ship out in a day or so, when we next go to the post office. Make sure you let us know when you receive them. | ||

The post office are holding mine and Mike's to ransom until I pay the duty :-( Graeme | ||

Pay the duty? On a couple of baseball caps? Is it just me or does the UK totally suck! I dont know why we arent taxed on the air we breathe and just be done with it  | ||
| jacko
Senior Member Username: jacko Post Number: 1690 Registered: 10-2002 |
Anything over £19 attracts the customs men like flies ;-( I'm owing £12, £9 of which is the Post Office handling charge! £9 to put a package on a shelf and wait for me to go to their depot to collect it! they don't even attempt delivery where a payment is due. That's value for money;-0 Graeme p.s. air tax is coming, just wait and see;-) | ||

Sorry to but in, but i ordered a black T-shirt back in jan & apart from an order confirmation have heared nothing since! Do you reckon this is down to shipping costs/duty? | ||
| jacko
Senior Member Username: jacko Post Number: 1691 Registered: 10-2002 |
Steve. If it had reached the UK, the post office would have left you a card. Your best bet would be to contact Mica directly, she's very friendly and helpful and will be able to tell you if the order has been processed. Graeme | ||

I got mine at the post office without any problem!!! Total bill on my credit card----£12.80. That included postage and packing etc. Have I got off lightly?? It was $14.95 for the cap + $12 shipping etc, With the exchange rate and credit card conversion----£12.80 G | ||

I think you did George. I ordered three - mine and 2 for mike. if we'd odered seperately we probably wouldn't have reached the £19.00 limit :-( I don't mind paying the duty. What grates is paying the post office £8 handling charge when they haven't even tried to deliver it - just sent out a card, so I've had to take time out to drive up to bathgate as they've closed our local sorting office. Thay's what the poyal mail calls progress. The hats are nice though ;-) Graeme | ||

Buying Alembics or visit the states, buying Alembics or visit the states...etc. etc... Ah!, come to the states to buy an Alembic! Oh and by the way I don't need a cap, I take propecia(no, really)! For you guys overseas it's a drug when taken helps you keep what rug you've got left. | ||

I doubt you need to take anything for your hair Adam. You look to have plenty to last a lifetime;-) Visiting the mothership and ordering a new custom are things I'd like to have done for my 50th (in a couple of years) but it's probably going to have to wait a couple more;-( Graeme | ||
