Ha ha, me too. However, I think I slipped up by not entering "USA" for country. I, mistakenly, figured CA designated for "state"
would imply US of A. Now I see the error of my ways. Those mugs may have been mis-routed to San Francisco, CA, Democratic People's Republic of Korea.
I am just not computer literate...enough. But, if I DO get them mugs, those peckerwoods in Pyongyang ARE NOT getting their hands on my Shag mugs. Nuh uh, not again Oh Great Leader. Unless, of course, they pay up. And this time no Won, I want American, greenbacks.
Phew, little flashback there, United Nations Police Action, outside of Wonju, circa 1951. Nasty business that, but I served my country, did what I thought was right. They can't take that away from me. Oh, they took a good portion of my cranium, but some damn fine USN docs and 53 grams of titanium plating later, I am ship-shape.
Yes sir, right as rain, as they say.

I can't believe that I came home to my wife leading around a contractor, telling me how great a new loft is going to look. From there she led me around the block to show me references of this contractors fine work. Meanwhile Shag mugs are going like hotcakes! I probably would have screwed it up anyway if it had to order within two minutes, I'm not synchronized to the atomic clock. The good news for me is that during our trip around the block we saw a house that had their dining room that was open sealed off down to two french doors. My wife liked the idea and told me that maybe I should set a little Tiki Habitat for mysef! She told me that I could get a bar to go along with my killer vintage rattan collection. I'm starting to think of what I could do with a spending spree at Oceanic Arts! I missed the mugs, but I may get bar.
Cheers,
KT

Yeah, I got through the process as quick as my little fingers could type, I just hope I didn't screw up like I usually do on all those sobriety test the cops give me. Actually they seemed easier... 
still awaiting some confirmation...

My order went through fine on the night of the sale without a hitch, including credit card info. However, I have not heard back from Tiki Farm yet. The suspense is killing me as I want these mugs in the worst way! It's now way past the 24 hour time frame after the sale in which I thought I would be contacted to let me know the results. Holden, what does that mean...have some people not been contacted yet? Any one else here in the same situation? Oh well, my fingers are still crossed...

I have not heard anything yet, maybe I typed in my e-mail address wrong, who knows, I was in such a hurry.
Hopefully no news is good news.

Yup there's nothing finer than a 50p tiki mug, but if you were to add the time and travel cost onto that the mug cost, plus the cost of other tat you bought while you were thrifting, and the cost of records you bought coz your up town anyway and then multiply it by the numbers of days you don't find a mug at all
I think for every £1 tiki mug i find i spend at least £100 on consumer items.
Thats why I spent my money on the SHAG mugs.
By the way I was acording to holden the last person to email before the cut off.

Good for you! Congrats.
Appears I was one of the lucky "X" and scored a pair as well. Time to trade now, shall not be keeping both.
