hazelsarah, congrats!!
However, just a note of caution, I advice you to ring them up and get them to confirm that it is indeed the putty. Reason I am saying this is because I purchased a putty (well, the listing description was for a putty) from NAP about 3 weeks ago and when it arrived, I opened the package and it was
Chalk instead of putty!
I was hoping that it was a simple mistake of them sending the wrong colour, but turned out that they don't have the putty in stock anymore (that time). I was so heartbroken and as I didn't really like the patent leather, I returned the chalk about a week and half ago and they have confirmed that they received the bag already. I hope that they haven't repeat their mistake and advertised the chalk as putty like last time....
If you are really pedantic about it being putty, like I was, then you'd better make sure that they are sending you the right one. Otherwise, you'll go through heartache like I did. Not to mentioned that I am still not getting anywhere in getting them to refund local tax/duty AUD 309 (about USD 233, roughly 20% the price of the bag) that I had to pay to DHL to get the bag released to me. Called them 3 times, emailed more than half dozen of times, and they still stuffed me around!!!
But if you don't mind the Chalk (and remember you still got a substantial discount on a nice bag), I can tell you that the bag was in pristine condition. Clean, no scratches, no problems with the frame or kisslock. The only annoying (well, I find it annoying) is how the handles "squeak". But I heard from other people that it'll go away.
Anyway, I hope I haven't put your spirit down, I didn't meant to if I have. I had such highs after thinking that I have managed to score smt that I really like and hard to find, only to crash back down to earth (so to speak
, I have since recovered
). I just don't want other ppl to feel the same as I did. All the best!!
Yay!! My first post on TPF!!
