will volcanic activity in europe delay delivery???

[speedyseedz]

Damn Tingpoon! One freakin DAY! Im so jealous. Isnt scotland closer to the volcano? But shipping sooner... I would imagine customs will be super busy when it starts flooding in, the piles over there at the royal mail or whatever must be HUGE

if he got the freebie offer then it would have been fri 9th.

Looks like i'm one of the lucky ones who got their seed orders in between the Easter halt and this Volcanic ash.
Seems like this months a bad one for buying seeds.

 

[horribleherk]

i dont care if its a little slow as long as it gets here ordered barneys farm pineapple chunk my current grow will go into early july so ive got a little time

 

[businessmen]

Oh yeah speedy, with the time zone it would almost be the SAME day, lol.

Any news on it clearing up?

speedy, do your shipments count as "mail"? if so i think it will be transported by sea unless this cloud dissipates or planes find a way to "filter" ash out of the air going into jet engines

kaleo your avatar is too cool

thanks, i was stoned reading the "pick RIUs new logo" and doodled it out. i made a thread about it
https://www.rollitup.org/inspired-art/318168-my-drawing-riu-guy-skeeting.html

i was late and im not much of an artist let alone a graphic designer so i couldnt get it into the works

i actually had someone else color it for me because i couldnt do it

i tried drawing trichomes on the female, but it looked like shit and i ruined the original
i guess atleast i still have it on the internet

A Quote:
"Mail from Britain to the far east was delayed, while parcels and post to the US were being taken by road to southern spain to be flown across the Atlantic."

Nice! Didnt know you could drive from england to spain tho Wonder if that means more customs checks in each country it goes thru.

Good old GBs on top of it! 2 days and they have this all set up?! eSpain must have some busy airports

yes they are mail.

 

[150wHPS]

I wonder how long something like that will take? I guess this isn't something that there is really a protocol for.

this is the worst fucking timing for me... I just put like $1000 into my room, got everything perfect and then put in my seed order for like $500 and now this happens.

Oh, first seed order. First grow. What luck?!?

 

[EyesofTheWorld89]

Yeah i got an email saying my order was dispatched on the 13th i hope it gets here sometime this week. attitude as well.

 

[150wHPS]

mine was dispatched on the 15th it says that "its been sent to the overseas postal service for delivery" whatever the fuck that means... usps says "we have received notice that the original post is preparing to dispatch this mail piece".

I wonder if it got shipped out before the volcano started erupting? Or if it's part of the whole shipping/air traffic mess at all?

 

[GringoLoco]

Dispatched on the 10th, arrived on the 18th. I'd guess anything dispatched after the 13-14th stands a good chance of being delayed indefinitely.

 

[150wHPS]

good thing attitude has a guarantee. I really hope they stand by it, because I'm definitely calling to ask tomorrow... I will post their answer here.

 

[150wHPS]

I don't believe that I'm getting assfucked over ONE day. This BLOWS!

 

[growone]

trying to look for that silver lining, when things settle down, whenever that is
there should be one hell of a surge into customs, maybe a lower chance of getting beans grabbed
a few others have mentioned this, not sure if it makes a difference

 

[bigv1976]

I just got an order the day the volcano popped.

 

[150wHPS]

YAHOO!!! British airspace to reopen on tuesday:
