Thanks -- tried this and they said they can't change it because its going to ship today. Either I was unlucky w/ my service rep or .com is bigger with more warehouses so it's harder to coordinate.

He did tell me I could order another one to the shipping address I want, and refuse the original when it arrives which will be returned and get me a full refund. Seems like kind of a dick move to me though.

What does the UPS guy say when you say "i don't want that package, send it back"

So in other words you are trying to be nice to the people you feel are beneath you?

This reminds me of episode two of Jump City: Seattle, where the leader of the team called the tribe says (direct quote):

Yanno HH, it really wasn't an attack on you , more a knock on 27 acting like he's dropped 5 tabs recently.

Experience teaches you that you cannot drop five tabs and write posts on 2 + 2

Also, if you aren't in when UPS try to deliver & you don't reschedule they'll ship it back with no hassle involved for anyone.

Yea, this was super, super annoying. Six Feet Under skips right to the beginning of the show, but it's one of the best credit sequences out there.

Justified is short and sweet, so I usually don't FF through that one. Don't FF through NBC shows, either, since they are really short and start right in with the show.

I don't know what you'd call the technology that actually backs up the recording when you press play depending on how fast you were fast forwarding, but it's the greatest invention since DVR itself.

"stars" / Female / Lead / All Ethnicities / 7 - 10
Description
This role is VERY SPECIFIC --- PLEASE READ THOROUGHLY BEFORE SUBMITTING !

VISUALLY, they want a girl who IS 10, who plays much younger (looking 7 or 8).

**SHE WILL BE REQUIRED TO DO wire work in an aerial harness !!!**
Any child with PREVIOUS EXPERIENCE with this is preferred.
She cannot have any fear of heights. Must be very agile and good with body awareness within the aerial harness work.

She must be a formidable and very skilled little actor !!
The majority of the acting that she will do will have to come from her own IMAGINATION. The commercial is very abstract & will require a little girl who is excellent with acting out seeing things that are not there at all. (for example, she will ride on clouds & see diamonds raining from the sky.) She must be capable of a wide range of natural & subtle expressions.
**FILM & TELEVISION CREDITS THAT REFLECT THIS GIRL'S ABILITY ARE A DEFINITE PLUS**please point out any standout performers.
Please KNOW the ability of the performer that you are submitting before submitting her; we don't have a lot of time in the casting process to "try out a lot of unknown talent." We need YOU to KNOW the capability of who you are submitting.

She has to work with a dog, so she can't have any fear of dogs.

**VISUALLY: they want someone UNIQUE & on the EXOTIC side. What does that mean?
She does not have to be white, and probably best if she is not white. (however, her acting ability & experience/capability with the aerial harness work WILL BE THE MOST IMPORTANT aspect of her being hired.)
But back to the EXOTIC,... she's definitely pretty, but perhaps not in a typical/commercially/modelly way. Ethnically Ambiguous is always a favorable way to go,.. that is, someone who is of mixed race and can visually represent several races, across the board.

***Please REMEMBER, it's not solely about 'a look'... or a 'specific race'... but rather... it is TOTALLY about finding the girl who possesses ALL of the qualities that this role requires:

1. around 10 to look much younger (6-7-8)

2. amazing actor (a girl with Dakota Fanning in-the-making ability)

3. capable/skilled with aerial harness wire work / no fear of heights

4. no fear of dogs

5. visually mesmerizing & unique / pretty but not typical / standout

6. preferably NOT Caucasian: client would 'prefer' East Indian, Asian, African American, or some mixture of several races, that is Ethnically Ambiguous. And therefore, the submissions should not have an over abundance of Caucasian performers -- only submit Caucasians who are outstanding because of their acting ability &/or aerial harness work experience.
And conversely,.. don't submit an Ethnic/Exotic girl, just for that reason alone, UNLESS she ALSO has excellent acting ability &/or aerial harness work experience.
