This ended up being a two part question of sorts. First question: I'm interested in buying the following items from either the Bodyline website or Cosmates:
http://www.bodyline.co.jp/bodyline/showProduct.asp?id=4257&back=yeshttp://www.cosmates.jp/shop/product_info/cPath/1_2_19/products_id/11827/http://www.bodyline.co.jp/bodyline/showProduct.asp?id=3592&pageNumber=1&pageStop=stop_42&noSubType=Yhttp://www.cosmates.jp/shop/product_info/cPath/1_2_24/products_id/13392/The pannier is for my sister, who I think has around a 94 cm waist (I may be a bit off). The checkered skirt is for me and I have a 92 cm waist. I read in one of the entries on egl_plus that Bodyline uses what seems to be hard core industrial strength elastics and while the garment could be wearable, it may be uncomfortable as it'll be a close fit. I think that the pannier would be alright but the skirt may be a problem. Should I even bother ordering it or would replacing/removing the elastics solve any pinching problems?
Second and last my dears: EMS or DHL? My mom gets stuff from China occasionally and the sites she shops on uses EMS. We've never had a problem with them and if we're not home to receive the package, it just goes to our local post office. As for DHL, well... I'm also worried about paying ridiculous customs on something that probably won't be more than 60 dollars (I live in Canada if that'll help).
Thanks in advance!
[Edit] I'm definitely going to pass on the skirt as it would probably end up being an uncomfortable fit but at least the pannier's a go!
