that’s just weird

On December 18, 2008, in Miscellany, by Mandy

I finally got around to ordering pictures that have been on my computer this past year. I’m committed to having albums of Cailyn- it’s just taken a little longer to get them done. So I did what I normally do when I order prints. I went to DealNews to see the websites offering free prints- I rarely pay for prints because there are ALWAYS free codes there. I chose a company called ArtsCow that had a promotion for something like 600 free prints. Since I had a lot of prints to order, it looked like the best deal for me. So I uploaded the pictures (which took forever!) and submitted the order. Everything was normal, they sent me an email confirmation, and shipping tracking- that didn’t work for some reason, but no biggie. Yesterday, I received a package. I looked at the return address and it read “Kwun Tong,Hong Kong” with “airmail” across it. It was the prints! I love them, they’re great, but to me, that’s just weird.

    I too think that it is funny you got a better deal than from here in the states. But thanks for the post. I didn’t know about the free pictures or deal sites , and I certainly have lots of pictures I need developed of Nevaeh (attempting to scrapbook…my latest new years resolution). Again thanks for the tip and picture Christmas card. It was good to see the girls, and hope you guys have a great and blessed New Year.

    Not surprised… Years ago I had already gotten cash from some on in Hong Konk over the mail for me to ship some coke cans I had. 2-3 years ago, I got a pc cam from HK and one from Autralia. Also 2 microfones from HK. I send stuff allover the world for e-bay. You wol not believe it if I told you allthe stuff I ship…
