You might think that based on the title this would be a post about October. Nope. It's actually a post about the United States Postal Service. Or more to the point, the length of time it took to deliver a package! THIRTY ONE DAYS. USPS, what in the world are you doing?!?!
In early October, I posted about this killer glow-in-the-dark silkscreened reaper poster by Dr. Wolfenbergen and printed by Vahalla Studios. I put my order in and waited patiently for it to arrive. And waited... and waited... and waited.
I followed the tracking number on their website only to see it stall out, not moving at all for 3 weeks. At that point, I began to give up hope, figuring it got lost somewhere along the line, or worse was now being enjoyed by some nefarious postal worker...
But after three weeks and a lost package submission, I again checked on the status and to my utter surprise, it was located and once again on the move. A week later, it actually showed up at my door in perfect condition.
At this point I couldn't even be mad. I finally had the thing. So all that is left now is to get it into a frame and get it up on the wall. With the shipping nightmare over, I can finally enjoy one last little piece of October fun!
And if you're interested, Dr. Wolfenbergen's "Reaper" print is still available over at Vahalla Studios. But good luck with the delivery!!
