Dodocase international shipping is madness

Update: July 26, 2010
Finally received it. Pretty good condition, front cover had a minor bend on it probably from being crammed in transit but nothing too major. USPS packaging was definitely on it’s last legs.

To be fair, this issue may be specific to Canadian shipping addresses.

Around mid-May i ordered a Dodocase for my iPad. I knew it would be a long lead time for it to ship, but what they didn’t tell me was the ship time going outside the US is ridiculous. Approaching a month since it shipped and it still hasn’t arrived!

It takes just over a month to walk from San Francisco to my home in Milton ontario. So – something is very wrong with either:

a) Dodocase’s shipping process
b) The US postal service OR
c) Canadian customs

Why isn’t Dodocase offering other shipping methods (i.e Fedex / UPS etc…). I’m sure people will gladly pay extra to have a tracking number that works.

Sad state of advertising


This is a funny photo gallery of 100 firework vendors all fighting each other for your mindshare, but i think it’s also a good metaphor for the state of most advertising these days. As Seth Godin says, when we are overwhelmed by choice we stop listening.

Wanna go for a hike?

From wikipedia:

El Chorro is a limestone gorge in Andalusia in southern Spain, through which passes the Guadalhorce river. It was dammed in 1921, forming three reservoirs which are flanked by pine forests.

It sits next to the 700m high Desfiladero de los Gaitanes pass, and is famous for the very dangerous path called Caminito del Rey (King’s little path). The path took its name because it was officially opened by Alfonso XIII of Spain. However official access to the path was removed in 2000 after a tourist died trying to cross it.
