MSPIERCING.COM

This is another website/product review; this time for mspiercing.com

This place gets the award for ○♦EPIC WHATTHEFUCKERY♦○ I placed my order through Paypal on the 22nd, at night. (That's a Saturday, fyi) It shipped on Monday, the 24th, which was kind of expected. The expected arrival time was Thursday, the 27th. It arrived today, the 26th. Two days. I did not pay for two-day shipping. I didn't pay for shipping at all, since my order was over 30$. This is the second time I've ordered from them, but the first was quite a while ago, and, as such, I can't remember if it was that fast.


The order itself was jest some basic shit, 6 captive bead rings (4 14g, 2 16g), an industrial barbell and a couple of needles. All steel. The only thing I was worried about was a dangly little thing (this one), but it looks nice quality, and just like it does in the picture.

I was already signed up for the emails, so I had a 20% off code, and all of my loot was 31.13$. Nice number, huh?

They even adorably sent me a business card with a 10% off code in my purchase, as if I didn't get an endless stream of 20%s from the emails.

Anyway, to the ratings:

Ease of use: 5/5 - everything on their site is nice and easy, and all of the specifications are there. good pictures of the products as well as a good range.
Ordering: 5/5 - very easy, since they have Paypal. They have other methods too, but I like paypal.
Shipping: 9001/5 - Need I say more?

80s Aperture Laboratories Water Bottle

One of the new goodies I've gotten from Thinkgeek is the Portal 2 Aperture Water Bottle.

I was going to buy it anyway, eventually, but there happened to be a sale so it was, what?, $8 I think.

I got the 80s version, because I like the logo better. The site says:
"
  • 80s bottle:
    • Features 1980s Aperture Science logo
    • Made of BPA-free plastic
    • Designed for cold beverages
    • Not suitable for microwave, cooking, or freezing
    • Love your bottle: hand wash only
    • 10.25" tall, holds 32 ounces"
At first I thought the big one was a little, well, big, but after I downed half of it in one go after a walk, I'm glad I picked it. The lid is nicely sealed.

(I figured out how to make the pics look like they're supposed to!)

As you may or may not be able to see, this is the bottle upside down and filled with water. No spilling :D

(And yes, it does say "A Trusted Friend in Science" along the side)

So the ratings:
Overall: 5/5 -I love it
Size: Surprisingly not overly large like it thought it would be
Would I recommend this? YES
Would I buy this again? I think I may need too after seeing the look my brother gave it...


And on another note, I got this and the others with economy shipping (the cheapest) and it arrived earlier than the estimated time!
