Silly HLJ!

Two weeks ago I ordered a bunch of wheels, the new Z and since HLJ had it in stock, the Sakatsu PE set for the S2000. The Z isn't in stock yet, so I wasn't expecting it any time soon. Today I got to my mailbox, and hello, what do I have here?



HLJ box! Hooray! And it's small, so shipping was probably reasonable. Good on HLJ!



Pretty close fit! I'm impressed with HLJ's economy on this one; they're usually not very thrifty with shipping materials and size and usually pass that cost on to the consumer (a very sad me).



But wait! The box is fuzzy! Weird. But I won't hold that against them. But wait, where's my PE! I will hold that against them. No PE in the box.



Hey! I hadn't noticed that I'd brought two HLJ boxes in from the mail. What's in the second box?



My PE! Yay! So much for them having been thrifty though. Double the shipping, double the fun! Sike! But wait, there's a silver lining!



Oops! Sakatsu, you silly guys, you accidentally packed two S2000 shift knobs in my package! Gosh, perhaps I should post it back to you. Wait, nah, I really wanted to get another shift knob for my Celica project - thanks for saving me the hassle of hunting your just-shift-knob package. That alone is almost worth the double shipping.

Happy day!
