Cheap at twice the price...as an aside, the note puts the onus on them (the PO)...it means they had them at some point...good luck... :reading:

Thank you Bhante. I put in a complaint with the postal service so we'll see what happens.

Liberation is the inevitable fruit of the path and is bound to blossom forth when there is steady and persistent practice. The only requirements for reaching the final goal are two: to start and to continue. If these requirements are met there is no doubt the goal will be attained. This is the Dhamma, the undeviating law.

Greetings,

I have some missing books in transit as well at the moment... alas, I never got a card.

Metta,
Retro. :)

It is very frustrating. All I can do is sit and wait. This whole situation is driving home the first noble truth very poignantly. Hope you get yours as well retro.

Received this email today:

Nevin, when I went to our local Post Office to ship today's orders, they told me that your first order had been returned.  My Postmaster said that your Post Office returned it too soon - they should have given you 15 days to pick it up. My local Post Office is sending it to you again. 

Hopefully your own Post Office will hold it long enough for you to pick it up this time.

With Metta,-- Pariyatti Retail

:woohoo:
