..so I went to check the tracking of an item I ordered and saw this:

Quote:
 
16 Dec 2008 11:31 am 9707 (MEL) Consolidated 1 item to CPS0000019257(Melbourne -> Sydney)


What the hell does that mean?

Seriously, to consolidate means to...what..."join", "combine", etc etc.... Does this mean it's arrived in Sydney? Does it mean it's delivered?
Argghh!!!

Why can't they just say, "Arrived in Sydney" or something, or "Delivered".


...yes I'm over-reacting :P

Not sure on dimensions... It's a pretty small box.
...and now that you say that, it makes sense. I'm guessing it won't be here today. GRRR.



lol Hiss. I can't stand that. "Please revert me when completed"

oh man...

I agree. I'd go so far as to say it's more enthralling than the LOTR movies.

One gif to beat them all!

Clerks 2 summed up LOTR perfectly. i paraphrase: "3 films of people walking. even the trees are walking!"
