Indigo:
I have Commissioned a suit and its behind schedule, he put people go to other cons ahead of me and now he is running out of time himself to do mine and get it to mine with very little time for this con >:(. Its my first ever suit and my first ever con and since i have given the maker so much time i am disappointed. I'm in the uk and to get a 10 day working delivery here costs about $100 (he is in the US) the funny thing is, is that to get it sent to germany within 3 to 5 working days cost the same amount. and they do not provide that service to the uk! Is it possible that if he does not meet the deadline I could get it sent to the hotel, Im sure import taxes would also be a lot less too! I am not committed to this idea and i am willing to give up on bringing the whole suit if things do not get done soon. however it was just a thougt I had.

I will talk to the hotel at some point (probably will be some kind of fee if i bother with this), however i just want to get the opinion from some people here (feel free to knock some sense into me!)! :)

silverfoxwolf:
You'd still need to pay the charges on arrival of the parcel in Germany and would be reliant on not only their customs, but also the parcel company to notify you. FedEx didn't tell me about a suit delivery for three days despite me prompting them. Ask him about the three day USPS service with a three day delivery or a refund. It's more expensive, but gets it there.

Indigo:
He uses USPS anyway!

silverfoxwolf:
That's odd, this is the service I've had used for me https://www.usps.com/ship/gxg.htm

Indigo:
Express Mail® International is 3-5 and costs about $106.60, Global Express Guaranteed® (GXG) is the 3 day one and its over $250, I really cant afford that. Hopefully he can mail it via Express Mail about 5 to 7 days before to be safe.
