Freakin'' A!

I hate USPS! I sent my setting to WF on Monday, and they still haven''t gotten it! It was registered, first class, insured. I checked the website, and the time to receive packages first class is 1-3 days. Including the day you shipped. In track and confirm, it just says it was picked up Monday the 13th, but nothing else. Can it really take this long?!? I''m just ranting here. It''s just soooo close!!

 

[Logan Sapphire]

I sent something to WF awhile ago (don''t remember what type of shipping but it was the one they recommend), and it took it like a week, which from what I gather, is normal. Hope it gets there soon! That''ll keep you biting your nails.

 

[anchor31]

Oh, I hope they get it SOON! *crosses fingers and toes*

 

[AmberWaves]

Thanks Logan, at least now I won't have to call tomorrow.

Not that I was going to or anything..

And I get my nails all set to be immortalized in photos, and now I'm set to chew them all off! Ladies in waiiting is the best name right now. Ugh. I don't think it helps that I'm the most impatient person ever.

(these are seriously the faces I'm making).

Thanks to you, too, Anchor! How'd it go with the list sent to BF?

Amber, I feel the same about USPS. Sorry it''s taking so long!

I''m sure this part of the waiting is JUST as hard. Seriously though, if they don''t get it by late tomorrow, i''d track further.
Just be patient a little while longer, just a little!

 

[akw94]

Ok, strike that call tomorrow statement I just made. Woops... Good to know it can take awhile.

Thanks to you, too, Anchor! How''d it go with the list sent to BF?

He didn''t comment. He never does... But he sent me a nice e-mail saying I wasn''t bothering him at all, he gave me a small update about work and he said he hopes I''m having a good day. He''s the sweetest.

I''m pretty sure he said he was going today, I guess I''ll know later. I''m feeling a lot better about it now than I did yesterday though. It''s amazing what a little perspective and support can do!

 

[E B]

Hang in there, girl! These next several days (perhaps weeks? Tell your BF that''d be CRUEL!) will be rough...but it makes the unveiling all the more sweet. Just keep remembering how GORGEOUS your ring will be.

 

[AmberWaves]

Thanks guys. You know what''s sad? I''ve told people we''re getting married already. It''s like someone else on here, I forget who, but she said it''s all in the works, just no ring yet.. I''m not saying we''re engaged- ha ha

just that we''re getting married! Logan''s post helped me calm down, but I am seriously dying over here. I wish I didn''t use a computer all the time, so I won''t check the USPS site more than 6 times.

I''m a mess. I can only imagine when I''m pregnant, and go past the due date!

 

[sunkist]

Ahh! How exciting and nerve wracking Amber. I''m sure they''ll get it soon

I get so upset with delivery companies too. They always seem to make me wait as long as possible to get my packages

and it can drive you crazy! But cheer up and go do something to take your mind off it. I''m sure your rock is going to be fine

 

[FireGoddess]

1. Registered mail takes freaking FOREVER! 3 days my butt!! It''s always taken more than a week for me.

2. USPS tracking is the most useless waste of money ever spent. There is NEVER any tracking information until after the item is delivered. Who freaking needs to track it then?!!?!

Can you tell the USPS ticks me off to no end?!

 

[AmberWaves]

Well, I checked my email this morning, because I signed up for the useless email notification of any happenings with my stone.. And nothing.

BUT, I decided to screw it and checked usps.com. And it arrived yesterday! WT Heck?!? Which brings me to why my guy @ WF didn''t notify me like he said he was going to. So it got there at 1:30pm. Is that their time or ours? Anyway, it''s there!

 

[anchor31]

YAY!! That''s a relief! I can''t wait to see the final pictures!!!

 

[AmberWaves]

Me neither!! All I think is, if they finish it today, they can send it overnight, and I can pick it up tomorrow! Ha ha ha! Loooosing it.

 

[AmberWaves]

Okay, so Ron wasn''t in, but I called and they are putting it into the system as we speak, and I should receive it by next week!! I don''t think I have ever hated a weekend before.

Oh well. Must have patience.

Oh wow! That's so, so great.....now for the waiting part.....

. I won't lie, it's hard. I had to be patient the entire time my ring was being made (it took 2 weeks). It's a good thing Joey proposed the day after he picked it up. I told him before the process started that to drag it out was just plain cruel. If you have the ring, do it!

 

[AmberWaves]

Thanks, EB.

I am the worst waiter in the world. It''s funny, my BF and I keep going around and around about this proposal thing. For one thing, I wanted to get proposed to at Disneyland. But then I decided that I can''t wait until March 31st. TWO WEEKS! Now I''m like, how about I walk the dog all day for a week, and I get to wear the ring for one full day? And then he''s like, even the morning? When I think about getting dressed earlier, and walking the dog at 6:30, I told him, no thanks.. Now I''m like, do it at dinner some night, in a nice place... Where people can clap for me- that''s right, I''m admitting it.

I dunno. Now that we had a fight this morning, he''ll probably send it back.

We fought about the green plaid flannel shirt he was wearing today. Looked horrible. But if he wanted to wear it, I let him. Then he got mad because I didn''t tell him I hated it before. I mean, he''s meeting the school''s new Athletic Director- who gives and takes the jobs away! You can''t go out iooking like gomer, honey! He was PISSED. So I went and sat in the car until he cooled off (we go to work together). Hopefully he''s better now.

Hey, Amber, I was wondering... In a previous thread you said something about the PS discount and the wire transfer discount... Can you get two discounts or both are the same??

 

[AmberWaves]

I believe I got both discounts. I had to remind him.

I was like, okay, so that''s the price, now what would it be with the PS discount, and the wire discount? You know when you search by cut, and it shows the PS price? Well, there is a wire discount, too.
