It's times like that, when I remember the story of the papa bull and the baby bull.

The best things come to those who wait....just have to have the patience. ;)

I'm just about losing my mind right now because not only do I have my Blue M390 Para 2 on its' way to me, but I also have an orange Manix 2, a ZT 0350 and 0200 on their way too. If all goes well, I should be getting knives everyday for the rest of the week. :p :D

You could enjoy or at least busy yourself with one of the many other aspects of life.

I just keep checking the USPS tracking. In fact I just did that a minute ago. Not a knife though, :( just batteries I ordered.

USPS tracking sucks badly. Sometimes I get a message saying that tracking won't be updated for 3 days. At best, it updates several hours after each event. It seems better than it was, though.

Right now my Smurf is "Out for delivery".

I like to make sure the one I just got is sharp, so I can free the incoming knife from its packaging.

I do any thing i can to stop myself from thinking about it. Same thing i do when a knife is on back order and i can't order it (Yojimbo 2). Patience is a virtue, good things come to those who wait.

You are just spoiled. I remember when mail came by pony express. :(

If yours says "out for delivery" I bet your nose is against the glass door and the balls of your eyes are looking down the road for the pony. :D

Doesn't frequent refreshing of tracking make the package get there faster?

I wait
and wait

10 - 14 days from the US unless it's one of the faster options.
And let's not forget customs, too, which may add a few days.

Waiting for international shipments is no fun! :D
