Phew! It's. Finally. Done! It's Friday before Memorial Day and we've packed and shipped out every single orders of the latest Mystery Sale. (Thank you to everybody who participated - You've really helped support the blog!)
It has taken us just a little over two weeks to ship, which is a significant improvement over the Mystery Sale back in February. While many of you got your shipments within just a few days, some of you are still waiting. The latest wave of shipments will take a few business days to arrive (a bit longer if you're outside of the United States because of customs clearance). I appreciate your patience - your packages are on their way! Meanwhile, we'll continue to work to improve the item selections and shipping time.
Many of you have gotten Adam Koford's latest book, the Laugh-Out-Loud Cats Sell Out. At the list price of $12.95, it's a steal! Plus, be sure to check the front jacket - Adam has kindly signed a Neatorama book plate you can affix to the book. It's surely going to be a collector's item! ;)
I've been slacking on my posting duties on Neatorama - so, I'm looking forward to getting back on that horse ... after I catch my breath!
I know it goes towards the site, which I love btw, but I only ever see the posts when the sale is done, and I'd like to contribute a little, and maybe get some cool stuff.... hmmmm
Hilarious stuff.
Thanks for the offerings and the chance for us to help you folks out.
We ordered two gifts. 1 had LOL Cats, an issue of Mental Floss. The second had Squirrel Underpants....weird but pretty funny. Can't wait for the next one.
thanks neatorama! I always get the best books from ya'll
Makes a good coaster though. My last mystery foray.
Hurts to see the good stuff others received, and i got this stupid book.
@Kyle Kriz - if you ordered two separate times, then they get packed and shipped separately. But if you order two items on a single order, you should've received them in the same shipment. Please email me and I'll take a look.
@barbara - yes, we do ship to the UK.
Given the backlash against the strawz last time, it seems that we've done a lot better on this Mystery Sale! And please check the book - they should all contain authentic autographed plates, signed by Adam Koford himself.
(I'm actually more jealous of those that got the squirrel underpants than the big prizes, but that's another matter entirely...)
Anyway, I'm glad I finally caught a Mystery Sale in time, thanks for a lovely surprise and a lot of fun!
Although I was hoping for more straws. ;)
It is clearly stated that it is a mystery sale and you get what you get (and what you get is at least equal to but never less than what you actually pay for). And not everyone will get the big prize, same as a bingo or anything else that you pay into. The big difference being there's a good chance you won't win anything at all. Here you get something at least.
So please stop the whining because you didn't get a PSP for goodness sakes. If you don't want to play fine don't no need to cry about it.
Now off my high horse.
@Frau - yes, Adam numbered his autographed plates. Now, who has the highest number? ;)
Any ballpark idea of when the next mystery sale will be? I'll definitely buy something again!
