We Will Post It To Your Address In The Best Delays.

Hmmmmnnn. I have just bought my first ST Dupont [a Marilyn Monroe] from Iguana sells in Madrid. This was in their email response:

 

We will post it to your address in the best delays.

Should I worry? What if they only use average delays? And why don't they sell iguanas?

Nah, I'm confident they'll use their best. Got a link to the site?

I came here for the pictures and stayed for the conversation.

There are quite a few sites that have started hiring the same person to write their text and responses. It must be the same person. I got an email advising me that Now there is help for irritating fruit flies! Why would I want to help irritating fruit flies? One ink site lists prices for 30 mL bottles, 50 mL bottles or any two empty bottles of the same size ink. I didn't know what to order, but I was leaning toward the same size ink when I just gave up and went to another site.

 

I think it might be our city's sign painter that is moonlighting on these sites. He is responsible for such signs as Slow Children Playing . I don't think it is right to point out these children just because they are not quite as fast as most children. Another of his masterpieces is Warning: No Outlet! I doubt many people are driving down that street to plug in a toaster. His most offensive one of all is Slow Dip. Why is he calling me names?

 

Hopefully your pen will arrive soon ("without delay"). At least I hope so.

Is it fair for an intelligent and family oriented mammal to be separated from his/her family and spend his/her life starved in a concrete jail?

Some people say that in Spain there are only 2 things that start on time: bullfighting and masses. I'm not sure about the masses after 38 years living in Spain.

 

What about this site:

The first time I read it, I thought "(censored) land?? and they sell pens?"; then I realized that perhaps they were selling rubbers.

Did you order the pen or a roller ball or ball point?

Thank you for that. I am sitting at my desk giggling like a fool and trying not to spill tea on my laptop. Good way to start the day!

If I could buy the iguana, it could irritate the fruit flies. Better go and get a goanna!!

 

 

Did you order the pen or a roller ball or ball point?

The fountain pen, Jar, at auction for about the price of the min-ballpoint.

 

Do you think they have different best practice delays for different types of writing instruments?

I really don't know what all the humor is about. I have a lot of experience with delays and irritating fruit flies, and believe me when I say that the quality of delays can vary widely. And why anybody would want to irritate fruit flies is beyond me, they can be really mean when they are (whoa there) off.

I (whoa there) off a fruit bat once. The results were messy. Photos were published in a scientific journal, I will try to find a link.

I suspect so, since all contact information for the domain goes back to Rochester, New York.

  • 2 weeks later...

Well, the ST Dupont pen arrived last week, delivered on time, eight days from Madrid to Australia, using UPS.

There was a moment's panic when it was having an 'exception' experience in the Madrid airport. But all plain sailing from there, or should that be plain flying?

 

It's a beautiful bright yellow pen in a stunning white & yellow perspex box. A limited edition Andy Warhol, with the 15 minutes of fame quotation inscribed on the cap.

And, yes, what a wonderful 'click' sound.

 

Based on this experience, it would seem that Iguana Sells is a good source of well-priced ST Dupont pens.
