OK, so here's the end of this story on my end: I contacted Shannon on Monday about whether she'd heard from FedEx and their so-called "trace" efforts for my package, and she said she had not received any additional info from FedEx, so she said she would ship the LAST SSE Ardeth Bey bust they had left to me, to go out on Tuesday. I called her around noon on Tuesday to see if the bust had left yet, and she said no, it was sitting by her desk to go out. I told her I would gladly (GLADLY, I say!!!) pay whatever the extra shipping was to have it shipped two day in order to ensure it arrived with a quicker tracking system (possibly harder to lose if it's supposed to be winging its way somewhere in a couple of days, right?). I'm at home this week and knew I would be able to sign for the package instead of having to pick it up next week. Shannon asked how long I'd be at home and I said til Monday. She said she would send it "3 day" at NO extra charge and it would arrive Friday (today).
And guess what, it DID! It arrived about an hour ago, and I've inspected it and it's perfect! The ironic thing is that I knew that busts numbered 7 thru 15 have been accounted for, so whatever number I got, it would be 6 or less. I actually DID get #6, which means the bust that FedEx "lost" was #5 or less! Still really pisses me off! I won't disagree that I'm becoming a more cynical person, but I'm awfully suspicious that FedEx just misplaced this extremely rare item. What, seriously, are the odds of that, hmm?
FedEx sucks.
But my SSE Ardeth Bey 1:1 bust does NOT! :chew :chew
I'm a happy girl!
I do really hope that the "lost" bust shows up and Sideshow is able to ship out what really really is the LAST of these busts to someone on the wait list. Don't anyone cancel their waitlist order on this yet! FedEx could still cough this one up. Stranger things have happened...
Oh, and Shannon at Sideshow rocks!!!!
