Hurrah!

Yay! March Hare is basically Jack with apricot instead of peach! I still prefer Jack, because I'm one of those freaks who likes the butter note a lot, but March Hare is definately great. It'll hold me over while I wait to order a bottle of Jack

Well, when I was introduced to BPAL by another international addict enthusiast, she told me it could take between 2 and 3 months to get there, so I've always bought my BPAL with that kind of delay in mind. Of course, I got spoiled when shipping times were down to 1 month (never got an order faster than that), but generally I find it helps (a bit) to train your mind to think in long shipping times rather than short ones.

I'm don't order often anyway, but it's partly because international parcels take a long time to be shipped *anyway*, and partly because if I wait til I have loads of stuff to buy, I'm making the shipping costs go a bit further. I wouldn't dream on paying 9$ shipping for a lonely GC bottle, which is why I combine all my buys into one big (well, 2-4 item) monthly event. If none of the month's LEs appeal, I just wait til the next month.

But I completely understand you not wanting to order if the shipping time is very long. It's quite frustrating to have placed an order an then wait months for it, worrying about stuff like "did they get my order" or "did the post lose it", etc. I'm not sure if ordering does add stress to the lab, though. Ordering means they're getting business. It would be terrible if they got financial trouble because everyone was waiting for them to catch up and not putting in any orders...
