Free USPS First Class International Shipping UK Perspective
Shipping Review
I ordered my mones on the 10th of August and Steve/His Monkeys shipped it on the 11th due to me ordering on the Sunday. I received a tracking number a few hours later and I put it in the Tracking on the USPS website and it displayed the status of the item. Now it was still in the US for about 6 days before It left to go across the pond. The total delivery time was 8 days which was from the 11th - the 19th of August. During my wait for the product I read up on first class mail going to the UK. It says Average for airmail is 7-10 days but can go up to 4 weeks or more if stuck in customs. My order bypassed customs and that is the reason I got it in 8 days. Before I can make a clear judgement on the shipping I will order again to see if it ships to the UK within 7-10 days so do not take my word as gospel if you are ordering with First Class. As Steve stated it could take up to 30-60 days.

Packaging Review
When I received the package it was in a small plastic envelope (If you bought from XS before you know what I mean) I was overjoyed when I received the package I was basically staring at the door until I heard a small thump at the door and there it was the magnificent package I have been waiting for. So I took it to my room and opened it. I did smell a strong scent coming from the package so I guess it leaked and I was right but it was the scent samples that had leaked. I checked all the contents where correct apart from that I did not got the Thinker or the sample of Exotica but instead I got my Taboo,Xist,Love Boat and a full bottle of Exotica. I looked at the invoice to see If everything was correct or there was a mix up. It showed that The Thinker was not shipped but I got a little message from Steve however I got not read it fully as it there was a giant circle (Possibly from a mug but it did remove most of the written message that Steve wrote) Again this was most likely USPS or some other accident not caused by XS. All I could make out was "I sent a bottle of" then it was cut off so I'm guessing the Steve sent my the Exotica instead. I'm not annoyed just surprised that if the message was there I would have understood properly. (Hopefully Steve can remember what he wrote so I know why he sent it.) Now I am an optimistic and I believe that certain stuff happens for a reason as I believe in the Law of Attraction. Perhaps that Exotica was sent to me to discover it's social properties and to probably get an Asian cutie
. Anyway I am very pleased with my order and will be ordering sometime soon to get me Thinker or PSE. I enjoyed the surprise of Exotica Steve. The only problem that was out of XS's control was the leaking of P&N and Sultans Oud had completely leaked. (This is not Steve's or XS's fault as this stuff happens all the time during air mail) I can tell you that Sultans does smell really potent, it made my eyes water. I know this scent is the best projecting now that I smelt it. It is a good scent and I do like all of his scents. Now I have a lot of testing to do and I hope to share all of my results
Thank's Steve and XS for an awesome time here.
