They must be on to you.
They're probably screening your mail for anything which encourages individuality.

I think I never got mail on Sunday; would be surprised if any would come today.

Poor Marky. Could it be the Patrician(of Ankh Morpork)'s doing? I don't know from where you ordered the books. But I usually buy from play.com and their delivery (free too) is always prompt, better price than amazon too.

I've been going out detectiving, and, well, I don't know where the heck my books are, but I did find out who killed JFK...

Re: The Discworld Diaries
Isn't this what libraries are for??? I mean, there are other books than Pratchett, but I always assumed they were for show...

Day nine:

I received an e-mail that they're about to send me my stuff. I wonder about that. Maybe they should quit messing around sending e-mails and actually start doing the job they're getting paid for.

Not to me. I tend to get what I order from them in just a few days, except when it's something that's not in stock, obviously.

It's not uncommon that I order something Saturday, get an email that's it has been shipped Sunday afternoon and have the package Tuesday.

I'd like to know who Marky is ordering from.

Day ten:

Nothing arrived. Not even an e-mail in where the appologized for their silly e-mail of yesterday. If Mom hadn't confiscated my antrax hobbykit I'd send them a little package.

Proxis they's called. They're from Belgium, might explain it all.

Try using the Book Depository. They're cheaper than Amazon and stuff gets to me here in Australia within 5-7 days.

I've often ordered stuff from the book suppository, as they're advertised on amazon
