Official *What did you get in the mail today?* Thread!!!
Got my 52teas monthly shipment, a couple I want to try, though no real expectation that I’ll like them, and that mate blend and I hate yerba mate, so not real exciting actually.
I got my swap from GiggleGoddess yesterday and I can’t stop smelling that Huckleberry Black from New Mexico Tea Co. That one’s going on my shopping list! Thank you, GG!
I got my very first order from 52Teas. Very excited to try them I got:
Almond Happiness
Coconut Cheesecake Honeybush
Pineapple Bacon Rooibos
Pumpkin Pie
Neapolitan Honeybush
Malted ChocoMate
I’m making some of the Pineapple/Bacon right now. I went a bit conservative with the flavors except for this one, but had to get one strange one to see what it’s all about.
Della Terra finally got here! Still waiting for a joint order with Harney & Sons to ship, even though the order was placed on March 25th. Sigh.
For some reason Harney allows themselves up to/at least 5 business days just to process international orders. I learned this the hard way when I ordered from them, as the whole way through the checkout process they continued to post that it would be shipped within two days even though the site knew I was having it shipped to Canada. Even my confirmation e-mail didn’t mention the extra processing time. Just one of the reasons I never placed a second order. Hopefully they get yours in the post soon!
So ridiculous! I don’t know if I will be ordering again, either. That’s just insane. I even emailed them about it and they said it would be sent out yesterday or tomorrow, so I’m crossing my fingers for tomorrow. It’s already been about 9 days since the order was placed.
My zen tea order came!

I ordered coconut oolong, grandma’s garden, gyokuro sample and a T-Free tea tumbler.
The tumble looks even better in person, wow! and yay, samples!
wahh! Wish my bluebird tea co order was here! I thought it would be here today, hopefully tomorrow!
My swap from Ellen, my tea of the month from Teavana, and a super awesome gift from Jackie T.
Red Leaf sampler (i’m going to be having those tonight/tomorrow)
52 teas order of blueberry creamcheese danish and the st patricks day tea
My swap from Yssah came today! Came with a few surprise teas that I’m excited to try. =)
I got my swap from Mitch today! Already disappointed that I can’t order from Simpson & Vail in Canada, hahaha! Stupid shipping.
I don’t understand what the issue is, really. I just sent off a pile of swaps today and each bubble mailer cost me $2.65 to send across the border. Seems reasonable.
I know… it seems silly to me. Same with shipping within the US. One company wanted to charge me $11 for 6 dollars worth of samples! Needless to say, I passed. I refuse to pay that much.
What was the weight on those mailers you sent? I just sent one out that was almost $9 to ship, but it was a little over 4 ounces.
Oh, they were just some samples, no more than 30g, probably. Still… $30 is completely ridiculous.
I agree jessi. I still want to order from S&V, but I am being held back by the shipping :(
I did email S&V to whine a bit, and got a response saying that they can send it First Class or something, for about $9 for the 6oz order I had in my cart. WAY more reasonable – I don’t know why that option isn’t on their website.
