This is not helping my need for instant gratification....

A question for the BPAL addicts among you --

So I finally took the plunge and ordered some stuff from BPAL, because their Wanderlust collection sounded really nifty, and I figured it was a small investment on the chance I might actually find a scent I liked and maybe wasn't allergic to.

And this morning I came into work and found my package from them waiting for me. Almost exactly two months after I ordered it.

Is this time lag normal for BPAL? Is it just because I was ordering samples? Or is it always like that, and if so, how do you cope when you're actually into the stuff? 'Cause damn, I've had entire fandoms go by faster than that.

How can anyone *not* know what BPAL is these days? *g*

The Wanderlust scents looked very cool, which is what finally tipped me over the edge into buying some. http://www.blackphoenixalchemylab.com/wanderlust.html

I got Baghdad, Athens, Cairo (I think), Delphi (I think), New Orleans (I think), and London (of course *g*). Between the name and the fact that it's rose-based, I had to get London. Can't wait to smell it!

This is the first I've heard of BPAL in a non-Lush related area, seriously. No wonder they're so busy....

I *really* love London - I made sugar scrubs with a bit of it last year. I've been wanting to buy a 5 or 10ml bottle, but I didn't want to wait so long. I keep looking around for people swapping it instead. ;)
