Departure from outward office of exchange

I’m playing the waiting game on an order from Chinese website focalprice.com. I suspect the package is coming via sail boat as it’s already been 3 weeks since my order was made and the China Mail website still has the same message:

Departure from outward office of exchange

When it works that is, most of the time it just says this:

?????????????? ??

Loosely translated as “Due to the use of too many users, again returned by the query”. Thanks Google.

I bought myself a JXD A1000 when it was on sale a few weeks back. It’s a handheld gaming machine that plays old games from the 90’s. Apparently it’ll play most GBA games which is great because the collection of carts for my original GBA is lying idle in the attic and I won’t feel too bad looking for replacement roms online ..

  1. I wrote this 2 days ago and hoped for an ironic twist of fate that would result in the postman delivering a package this morning but Alanis Morissette can rest easy. She won’t have to modify the lyrics of her hit song. Oh well.
