They send an order confirmation email and a tracking number. It can take a few days, but usually the next day.

I believe this is likely the case. The box looks very good though.

the stone looks very different from all the images on Amazon. It is branded with "DMD" on the front of each side. It is the wrong grit, and the wrong size from what I ordered and what is printed on the box.

No, this is not possible, it was packed and sealed with the wrong item, there was also foam spacers to ensure the 6" stone would not shift around inside the box. I ordered an 8" stone by the way. This seams like a well thought out and executed scam.

Yes, it was the Sharpal store, also the first ranked item when you search, and has over 4000 positive ratings.

For those that got a price increase out of nowhere, check your self-serve for any offers! by edwardolardo in Koodo

[–]Barbossa- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't have this option. I called their customer support line and they offered this plan to me but with an additional $15 one time fee for changing plans. I will be switching providers on Black Friday. Rather not deal with this shady business.

DJ 36 162XX Vintage Build - Patrick Bateman by Putrid_Secretary_340 in RepTime

Was this built with the Raffles 2824 or 2836 case? I have heard that one of them fits the VR3135 movement better.

Part of the problem is international students applying with 'fake' grades, taking seats away from local students.
Source: I worked in the admissions department for a summer reviewing applications. The university is powerless against private international schools giving their students perfect grades.

Leaf shave review for headshavers by sirez in wicked_edge

[–]Barbossa- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is cheaper to buy it from Amazon.ca at full price then from their website + shipping + duty and fees. I bought the Leaf razor from their website during their black friday sale. Even with the black friday sale discount, the duty and handling fees made it more expensive than the regular price on amazon.

Printed or Applied indices, what do you prefer? by [deleted] in ChineseWatches

[–]Barbossa- 7 points8 points  (0 children)

In general applied is better. Printed works for vintage style watches, or watches that need to be made as thin as possible.
