My Barry Cuprian Tourmaline..

[simplysplendid]

is in Korea!

This little beauty ->

 

[simplysplendid]

Me, in Singapore
Barry sends stone to Singapore,
stone ends up in Korea.

It will be a long wait to get it back. I guess we will have to wait for the Korea postal service to realise that there is no city by the name of Singapore found in Korea and returns it back to sender. I am really hoping that they sent it to South Korea and not the North.

 

[MakingTheGrade]

Oh no!!

Didn''t you send it Express too? I''m so sorry!

 

[onvacation]

Yikes! Who did he use to send it?

 

[simplysplendid]

USPS Express service..

 

[D&T]

OH NO! I hope it gets to you soon.

 

[fierypyropixy]

Oh wow . . . I''m sorry . . . if it were me I''d be fuming!

The USPS certainly isn''t getting glowing reviews from the PS community lately. Here''s hoping the error is rectified quickly!

 

[Stone Hunter]

I''m so sorry! Hope it finds it''s way to you soon.

 

[arjunajane]

Oh no SS, what an incredible stuff up

Do you know yet how they possibly got the country wrong?! That just seems odd.

wow, I can relate, I''m sorry. I hope it find it''s way home real soon.

 

[akmiss]

What?! I sincerely hope it makes it to you soon.

 

[Nomsdeplume]

Oh no!
I hope you get it soon. It''s gorgeous.

 

[icekid]

oh no...... USPS has really been letting us down these days!

 

[mochi]

OH NO!! Maybe it''s a short stop over??

 

[LtlFirecracker]

Unfortunately not.. it is now being processed by Korea customs. If it is a stopover, it wouldn''t be with the customs since it is not entering Korean territory.

 

[bling addict]

AHHH - horrifying!

I hope it is making it''s way to you soon - and quickly!

 

[marcy]

Oh no! It''s beautiful and I hope you get it soon.

 

[Lovinggems]

How annoying, hope they don''t make more shipping mistakes.

*gasp* Please let someone there be able to spot the mistake! I''m sure they''ll catch on soon enough.. You must be going crazy with the USPS tracking page...

I''m sending all of the flow vibes I can muster, so your little beauty will be coming home to you as easily as possible!!!

 

[packrat]

I hope it gets back to you soon SS!

 

[simplysplendid]

Thank you everyone..I hope it gets here soon. The South Koreans are a pretty efficient bunch, so I am hopeful that it will find its way to me soon.

 

[chrono]

Goodness! This is terrible. I hope it’ll be redirected safely back to S’pore. This is one of my greatest fears involving international shipping.

 

[onvacation]

Bump! Any news? It''s too lovely a stone to be spending so much time inside a tiny box!

 

[Brown.Eyed.Girl]

Oh no!!!

 

[packrat]

Jeez, it better bring you back something better than a "My Cuprian went to Korea and all I got was this shirt" shirt.

 

[LaurenThePartier]

I''m thinking of you, SS - hoping your tourmaline gets to you soon!!!!

 

[chrono]

SS,
Any news on the shipping status of your tourmaline?

 

[simplysplendid]

Hello people,

Sorry for not updating you earlier, it had been a madhouse at work and at the home front. I got it last week, the Korean postal service automatically redirected it to Singapore and I heard from Barry that USPS only just realised it. I received a total of 4 gemmies from Barry and I just bought another 3

. I will take pictures and post them as soon as I can.

Thank you very much again..
