hsingscrapper Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 Soooo, I finally put my order in to Rainbow on Wed. It's a big one! Waiting for boxes is like a kid waiting for Christmas!! Doesn't it just drive you nutzoid knowing there are boxes coming and having no way to track them? I'm about ready to explode!! Dragon is just uncontainable because he's so excited! Fury and dh are more subdued and Mr. Picky Pants is clueless. He'll be thrilled when he sees what's in the box for him, I'm sure. I have to keep from bouncing like a ball so I don't wake the youngest. And now the old Coca-Cola song is running through my head. "I'd like to teach the world to sing in perfect harmony. I'd like to buy the world a Coke and keep it company." (How's that for an earworm?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fairfarmhand Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 yep. How much time is long enough before you are not ridiculous for tracking your package? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hsingscrapper Posted October 18, 2012 Author Share Posted October 18, 2012 The last box came quick. This is a *much* bigger order. I might wait until Monday before I become a pest. And the two lines of the song are all I can remember and I've started to sing them out loud. Dragon is looking at me like I'm crazy. :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hsingscrapper Posted October 18, 2012 Author Share Posted October 18, 2012 Mail just came. Fury said there was something from Rainbow. I got soooo excited! Then I realized it was only their Christmas catalog. *sigh* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jpoy85 Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 Im waiting on my big box too! I didnt know they didnt put tracking on it. Thanks for putting that out. I wonder how long it will take to get to you and how long it would take for me? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hsingscrapper Posted October 18, 2012 Author Share Posted October 18, 2012 We shall have to keep each other posted, then? Shall we do that? Oh yes let's!! (Watched Lion King 1.5 a few too many times, I think) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JudoMom Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 I always call them the day after I order for a tracking number and to make sure the order isn't being held for a backordered item. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jpoy85 Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 ok well heres my current status: Purchased everything 4am Oct 12 and she said it should ship by tomorrow because one of the Reading Guides was on back order. RR is in IL and Im in OH so im thinking it wont take long but its a giant box (or boxes?). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hsingscrapper Posted October 18, 2012 Author Share Posted October 18, 2012 I ordered over the phone but didn't get any order number. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JudoMom Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 I ordered over the phone but didn't get any order number. If you call them back they'll look it up and give you a tracking number. Of course, you might just be a wee bit more self-controlled than I am :D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arcadia Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 And the two lines of the song are all I can remember and I've started to sing them out loud. Dragon is looking at me like I'm crazy. :lol: Now you make me want to sing that song too :tongue_smilie: "I'd like to buy the world a home and furnish it with love, Grow apple trees and honey bees, and snow white turtle doves. I'd like to teach the world to sing in perfect harmony, I'd like to buy the world a Coke and keep it company. [Repeat the last two lines, and in the background:] It's the real thing, Coke is what the world wants today. " ( from here) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hsingscrapper Posted October 19, 2012 Author Share Posted October 19, 2012 UPDATE: I just called to see if I could get a tracking number and there's an anatomy coloring book on back order. She said it will ship Tuesday at the latest and arrive here Thursday latest. Pray and send positive thoughts that it arrives in their warehouse sooner.

Jpoy85 Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 UPDATE: My boxes came and WOW. Just wow. The girls have already played with the puppets, the lacing cards and now the felt dolls. Some notes: 1) the laminated wall maps are HUGE. Bigger than I thought. 2) "The Fabulous Book Of Paper Dolls" are not paper AND they require "re-stickable tape", which didnt know and now i need to think of a way to make the dolls work without the tape. :( #2 is my biggest complaint. I love everything else though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hsingscrapper Posted October 25, 2012 Author Share Posted October 25, 2012 did your stuff come? No. Not yet. Called yesterday. They didn't yet have a number for me. They said they should have a tracking number for me today. If it's not here by 9:30 then I will be calling. I have to wait until then because we're an hour ahead of them. Dragon wants me to wait to open the box until he gets home from his haircut if it comes while he's gone. :lol::lol: His face was so serious. I think he forgets how impatient his mama can be. :lol::lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hsingscrapper Posted October 25, 2012 Author Share Posted October 25, 2012 UPDATE: Ze box! She came! Mr. Picky Pants was handed a crayon. He proceeded to decorate the old dry erase board and then moved on to the tray on his desk!! Dragon was happy to get the invisible pen he wanted. Fury looked at the anatomy coloring book and seemed a little shocked that a coloring book could be so thick but was otherwise unimpressed. Teenagers . . . *sigh* I have my school year set so I am happy!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
