I bought my papers via action (about an hour ago now) from Thner for 297... and they never showed up. They aren't in my mailbox, the frog never arrived. Nada, kaput, rien.
ETA - Nevermind. They just got here- after I paid for another one.
I was confused by that too. Actually I bought the papers twice, because I thought it was a mistake. Maybe it should say somewhere, that papers (is it just papers?!) is delivered by non-frog-mail.
I had the same problem, and bought papers twice. The first one was waiting in my mailbox (which I didn't know could happen) and the second one came by frog.
So it's definitely not the case that papers are ALWAYS delivered by non-frog-mail.
I've been waiting half an hour in my house and my purchases (some bubbles and honey for seasoning eggs) still haven't arrived. A few things I bought a few minutes earlier arrived quickly enough, but the rest is still MIA. And yes, I checked my mail box, just to be sure, but I've been sitting in front of the computer sewing a housewarming gift the whole time. I would've noticed either the frog or a mail message. Is there any recourse for things that never show? Payment is deducted immediately, the delivery should be nearly as prompt.
