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?

Thinkgeek's Dragonscale Bag of Holding

I just got this today, so this will be more of thinkgeek than the bag, but it will be updated later on how it's holding up and stuff.

The service was really great, it shipped within a couple of days, and arrived on the expected date. (I used UPS ground.) Thinkgeek's ordering thing was really easy to use as well.

They even gave me free stuff- look:
FREE MONKEY BREATH! (Instead of packing peanuts or something like that.) It even says, "This bag is green because it's recyclable, reusable, and reduces waste by being 99% air, not because it's made of people."

And a sticker. I like stickers :D

And the obligatory bag photos:
The front
The inside of the flap packet


Under the flap and in the front pocket (I don't know why the photos are flipped on here, the shiny black is the bottom of the bag)

The medium pocket
The big pocket and its inside pocket


The back, back pocket, and laptop case (which goes past my elbow when I stick my hand in).

You'll get an updated, complete review after I've used it a bit.


UPDATE - 6/5/13
It is REALLY easy to exceed your maximum carrying capacity. I get all excited, "Woo! This fits too! Oh! I might need that at some point too!" and then d'oh. Base land speed is now in the negatives.
The only thing I'm concerned about is the strap (and the metal rectangle that connects it to the bag) likes to rotate and bunch up, which may cause problems in the long-term.
Also, I ordered more from thinkgeek, so there will be another review coming soon (supposedly it will arrive on Tuesday).
