Hurry, get yours now, only ten left.

[Brotzmann]

That must be with Amazon's same day drone delivery.

[migo984]

Good grief!!!!

[josephchow42]

[cbaytan]

Punctuation error?

I have noticed a lot of Japanese products, being sold by Japanese sellers, have been getting posted at outrageously high prices.(Especially on eBay)

Check out the coozy being sold by that same vendor.

It happens with U.S. products, too. A couple of months ago I was shopping for turtle food for one of our hatchlings and saw a four ounce container worth less than ten dollars selling for several hundred dollars. It was a typo but it took them several weeks to fix it after I pointed it out.

With mistakes like that I am not enthusiastic about the idea of autonomous drones zipping about.

Well the drones can't be any worse than UPS -- the big story on Yahoo's main page today was that a UPS driver stuck a brand new electronic tablet in some woman's trash can, to keep it out of the rain, without bothering to check if the trash had been collected (it hadn't been...). And the woman got hung up on when she called UPS, because she was pretty much in hysterics by then

I guess that's the other extreme of the service that we got from UPS up in MA. My husband had ordered some cast iron part for a blacksmith's forge from someplace. When I went out that day to get the mail, I couldn't open the kitchen door to the driveway, because the box (which weighed around 40 lbs, but the contents were also very brittle) was blocking the storm door. And it was pouring rain (and the stoop didn't have an awning over it). The guy hadn't even bothered to ring the doorbell to see if anyone was home. So I called UPS, and got told "Oh, that's okay that he didn't ring -- you're in a safe neighborhood!" I pointed out that I couldn't lift something that weighed 40 lns., couldn't open my door, and that it was *pouring rain*.... They had to wait for the guy to get back to their terminal, then send him back out to my house. He was PO'd because he had to go back out (the terminal was the next town over, a distance of -- get this -- about 4-1/2 miles...). I was like "boo hoo" and made him carry the package into the house. And of course when we bought my first computer, and it hadn't come, we started tracking the package, and UPS told my husband that they'd left a "tried to deliver" note on our front (i.e., kitchen) door. He said, "what door where?" (our house was set back behind other houses and the driveway was actually from the cross street -- the legal frontage was about 10', the width of the stream that ran behind -- technically beside -- the house). Even then, Steve had to go to the end of the driveway and flag down the UPS truck....

So, to get back on topic -- is that a *normal* size bottle of Tsuki-yo? Or some special limited edition vast quantity amount (you know, like the 100 ml size bottles of some of the J. Herbin inks)?

The ink costs so much because the pic is actual size.

I remember being in a pub in Ireland and seeing one of their vodka bottles behind the bar that was at least 10 gallons. Perhaps this is similar.

Well, with free shipping might as well buy two!
