If you sell something, and it's crap, or not quite as you have described, I will say so ( Read more... )

I get an email from them, so they know I'm on Australia. The fact that my account says I am in Australia, and my email address ends in AU, and my default shipping address is Australia seems to be something they're missing ( Read more... )

Well, yeah. hehehehe
