I placed an order for a Green Lamy Al-star with a fine nib from Amazon on the 29th of December. Since then, I have anxiously awaited its arrival. According to the rate of shipment, it should arrive in tomorrow afternoon's mail! What's worse, is I ordered the Z24 piston converter the same day, but the converter arrived just two days later! :headsmack: Here's a little screenshot of the tracking info:

 

Note the cliffhanger between Dec. 31st and Jan. 5th -- That was my "impatiently check mailbox everyday for five days" phase.. :rolleyes:

I had the same thing happen to me a week ago!

 

I ordered a Safari, ink, and a converter from Amazon a couple of weeks ago. I had the ink and the converter show up on a Friday. That ment that I had to wait all weekend for the actual pen while I stared at the pretty (and quite useless) bottles of ink! It really tried my patience.

It's indeed an inconvenient situation isn't it? To recieve all of the auxillary tools to the writing instrument and to be forced to wait for so much longer for the core item! :headsmack:

 

I have to admit: I chuckled quite a bit when I read that you, just as I did, stared at the bottles of ink! I would open the cap, look at the dark ink with its subtle shade of green. Then I would fill a glass with water and repeatedly fill/empty my lonely converter :crybaby: It was a pretty pathetic sight, I'm sure. :rolleyes:
