LUCKYMAN I CAN UNDERSTAND YOUR CONCERN ABOUT THE DELIVERY, BUT THE WAIT TO DM VISA ON THE WAY WAS SO LONG. ONCE YOU KNOW THE VISAS ISSUED, I WOULD IMAGINE A PERSONS MIND CAN FEEL AT EASE, DONT PANIC, IM SURE MOST DELIVERIES ARE MADE, WHO CARES IF TOMORROW AS LONG AS YOU KNOW ITS NEXT WEEK. ID BE HAPPY TO HEAR MY VISAS WAS ISSUED AND BEING SENT BY TURTLE TO MINDANAO
Well if the turtle could swim 20 kms /hour 1000kms to northeast coast of davao that would take about 4days lets give him 5 days in case he stops for a beer now the problem arises can we call the turtle express and ask if we can get a rabbit to take over. if the turtle can walk 200meters/hour im quessing 10kms to the closest shore to tagum thats another 4 days lets give him an extra day in case he meets a female turtle he must do his duty i hope he has a cell phone because i dont want him to venture near the highways, i dont want turtle blood all over my passport

Yep...But I purchased cancel and flight insurance...so it should be ok. I admit it wasn't the best decision, but when flights are increasing in price by the hour, and then are becoming unavailable really quickly, and we've been waiting, waiting, waiting.....I think most of you understand how we came to that decision.

Just re-booked for Tuesday.....rolling the dice on that one, during checkout on 3 websites, they all went up couple hundred, so I said, lock it in now! haha

cmon Karma!!!!!
stop thinking with the wrong head, a couple of weeks of separation will never hurt you

Im just wondering did the VO just send the turtle down the elevator in the rcbc building or did they carry him to the shore of manila bay. This could be a substantial delay if he has to journey through the streets of manila,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, oh sh!t i forgot about the traffic in manila

Also, when anyone gets decision made, I'd call Customer service for wwwexpress to alert the package will be in transit soon.

Give them package name addressed too, and I would....strongly.....strongly....suggest asking them to open your package to verify contents....I trust DHL more than Embassy, and apparently, according to DHL manager, this is a regular occurrence with documents from the embassy.

i understand what you've been thru, its not easy to be in that situation. for me, giving a call to DHL branch in your place and informing them that you are expecting a package from CEM is fine, but telling them to open your package is way beyond. your case is a rare circumstance that happened. and besides, isn't it against the law opening someone else's packages...
