Typical Japanese service

(tags figure, ECsite, アニメ, 苺ましまろ, failure)

No, I'm not talking about the bowing or the ladies at the department store or the nonchalant maido, ookini that you get from the vendor on the street or even the waiting for the newest game at your overcrowded "electronics life" store. No I'm talking about service you get using postal mail.

I got two postcards in the mail with my name on it. The message on the front of each card, though, was illegible. Whose fault is this?

I remembered I ordered something... which led to a Internet search, which brought me to Animage magazine's delivery service about their Ichigo Mashimaro dolls which I ordered back in December. The message on the postcards is also on the website: the dolls will be delayed one more month. Sigh. It's okay, I still have to buy the stands for them, and this gives me plenty of time. Until then, you'll have to imagine what kind of dolls you can get for 45000 55000 yen, because they won't show you what they look like anymore. And no, I am not talking about "Real Doll", just keep that to yourself.

BTW, this is the same service that sold the Rozen Maiden "Shinku" doll (with plastic hair) that I photo-mentioned.

(edit: I just remembered why there are two postcards, hence the strikeout text.)
