When I came upstairs at 4 p.m., my mail had no yet been delivered. I'm heading down now to see if it has arrived.
Speaking of things not being delivered...last Tuesday, I wrote this:
I'm leaving. I need to get something to eat before I go to rehearsal and I need to pick up a vest for my costume...but I think I'll get the vest tomorrow. I ordered one on-line and THEN found this one locally (it's "gently used") for a little less than HALF the price. It doesn't matter what the vest looks like for the show. I just need to wear a vest and look like a waiter. I phoned the on-line place today and they said that it's already been shipped.
I will be able to return it, but I won't get shipping refunded.
I hate it when that happens. Even with the shipping though, the "gently used" vest will still be about half the price of the shipped one! It's worth it. I don't think I'll ever need a tux vest, unless I'm in another show where I need a tux vest. 
I actually bought the gently used vest from the local tux shop that Tuesday but today is now Monday...a full SEVEN days after ordering the on-line vest...and it STILL hasn't arrived! I paid $10
extra for the 3-day shipping and it didn't arrive in three days (I should've gotten it last Thursday)! Of course, I'm very happy about this because I was planning on returning it anyway, and now I'll be able to get the extra $10 back because it didn't arrive when they said it would! So, I only will have to forfeit the regular $8.50 shipping!

FYI, the on-line vest with shipping cost $88.45 and with tax, the Tux Shop vest only cost $32.47! A big savings...even with having to pay the shipping both ways.
