it's airborne express.. they're doing it.
They even charged me 100+ on 50$ stuff once, and wouldn't deliver it until
I paid, even though I told them it was wrong, and them confirmed it later.
Then they refunded the money. They put the cash in an envelope to
Liam Bedford
Harcourt Centre,
Dublin 2.
Fortunately I know the concierge, and he came up 2 months later with it,
saying they were about to throw it in the bin because of the addressing.
They are gobshites, and I won't buy from thinkgeek because of them.
