Is it about the coat? Is it about the missing buttons? Is it about shipping and all the notification? Is it about the Postal Service not leaving a tiny package in your mailbox?

Sounds like it was one of those mishaps in the original manufacture and it somehow got past Inspector #12. I don't blame you one bit for having someone else sew the buttons on - when it's one or two, fine, but a whole lot like that? Yeah, time to outsource! And hey, you got a nice coat for less than $25, so score for you!Vanessence7https://www.blogger.com/profile/01646810098972114169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5620546355443994788.post-80697615442556404282014-11-17T13:48:11.923-05:002014-11-17T13:48:11.923-05:00DarcKnyt: Yes, delivery times are a real mystery. ...DarcKnyt: Yes, delivery times are a real mystery. Usually things come more quickly than I expect, which is nice.<br /><br />Jenski: If my friend decides to make any objections after all the trouble I've taken to rehabilitate this coat, that will be her problem! ;-)<br /><br />Joey: Yes, I can sew on buttons perfectly well. However, in this case 1) as the coat had no previous buttons, there is no mark on the fabric to easily tell me where to place the buttons and 2) the fabric is very thick and difficult to push a needle through. Given these small annoyances, I decided that it was worth $6 to me to have it done by the nice Asian lady.<br /><br />Jameil! Welcome back!!! :-) Yes, Remembrance Day is the Canadian version of veteran's day. The Ontario driver's license is a blue plastic card.

Sorry but I'...Oh you got the above comment too!<br /><br />Sorry but I'm really not impressed, can't you sew on the buttons yourself? Even I can sew on buttons! <br /><br />So many things come from China now. I've just bought some new jeans and they sent me an email to say that I'll receive them in 30 to 50 days, I'll be lucky if I get them by Christmas. I can only assume they are coming via a boat or Mars.LL Cool Joehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13916666100971008775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5620546355443994788.post-87606233585172276712014-11-16T23:05:55.760-05:002014-11-16T23:05:55.760-05:00In my experience, hand me downs don't take qui...In my experience, hand me downs don't take quite so long to use.

Why, simple would mean you place the order, the company ships the order, your delivery service delivers the order, the Asian lady puts the buttons on the coat. Where's the fun in that?<br /><br />We recently ordered something for my daughter online, and it was coming from China. They told us it would take about 42 days to arrive. We got it in eight. They like to leave themselves a LOT of wiggle room, apparently. One never knows what can happen between departure and arrival, I guess.DarcKnythttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07007911811157251252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5620546355443994788.post-33972283877436608292014-11-16T20:58:48.249-05:002014-11-16T20:58:48.249-05:00Or next time they'll REALLY lose all the butto...Or next time they'll REALLY lose all the buttons off it, but no one will believe me.
