Marco seems to have changed to a totally different shipper for these last bags. NOt his usual ones. I had no notice of a delivery until it appeared and I had asked to be updated as it traveled. I live in a large city and it came USPS.
Interesting. Marco told me my box was being mailed last Tuesday and should arrive on Friday. I was waiting for a text from Fedex for delivery date, but nothing, and I did not receive my package. Now knowing it may come USPS, well at least I know what time of day I should expect it. I’ll give it until Wednesday before contacting him again.
Mine arrived a few days ago via my local postal service (Singpost/Speedpost). I think Marco switched to using EMS (Express Mail Service), so it was shipped out on his end via Poste Italiane, the Italian postal service, and delivered here by my local postal service. According to the tracking at www.ems.post, the shipping from Italy to Singapore took about 4-5 days, although I had to end up picking it up from my local post office because no one was home during the 1st delivery attempt. (Didn't receive any tracking info ahead of time either!)

(Delurking for a hot second to reply to this; eep, I have a tonne of posts to catch up on, but still too busy right now! Pics of my "first" final order will come later too! And yeah, I'm one of the ones who also succumbed to a "second" final order

Our import tax rate here is 7% for purchases above SG$400, so that was about the rate that I had to pay on the total value of my shipment. They might have charged me an additional handling fee of about SG$10, though, similar to what FedEx charges when they pay for the customs duties first, as the total amount I had to pay seemed similar to what I've paid to FedEx before for similar-value shipments.
Oof, that's a bummer that they don't deliver it directly to you!
oooh! what did you get in that leather? I love blue base Greens too , but in bright greens!Oof, that's a bummer that they don't deliver it directly to you!
I really thought I was pretty content also with my first final order, until I saw here that Dark Green Verona was still available! Given my not-great experience with Dark Green Trinity and how much I've been hoping to find something in that perfect blue-undertoned dark green shade like Balenciaga's Poker Fonce, I really couldn't resist grabbing something in Dark Green Verona!
A Juliet and a Penelope Midi! Marco surprised me by being able to find more of the leather, so I decided to get a matching Penelope Midi too! (He initially said there might have been enough for only 1 bag, depending also on the pattern for that bag, so I was prepared to consider smaller sizes like Aura or Penelope Messenger too...)
