Re: SALE BOOTS ?? : Living March April in Finland

If you want to rely on luck (sale etc...) then check the shop frequently...
Another safe bet is to go to any flea market (Fida, UFF...)

Re: Huuto fraud ? What to do ?

Yes, you are right... I got an expensive lesson this time :D
Anyway, I should now reconsider my trust for Finn (or at least guys claiming to have Finnish-looking name :) ), and of course Huuto will be an absolute "no" from now on :)

I'm not Finn, but I must say that Finnish people are very honest ...

Re: Finding Jobs?

It depends quite a lot, however in general it would not be easy at all... I knew some guys who got a "normal" job (not relating to their studies) in the first month in Finland... However later on they end up stuck in that job and did very badly in their school (or maybe it was their intention from ...

Huuto fraud ? What to do ?

Hi,

Recently I made a purchase on Huuto... However the package never got to arrive at my home. I asked the seller about the shipment however he just said he does not keep any paper and my address was wrong (I am quite 100% sure that it is correct since I still got my other mail frequently) ...So I ...

Re: Electronics in Metropolia UAS ¤¤READ THIS FIRST¤¤

Well, very few people finish the same major in 2 different schools, so you might as well find no answer here ... It's pointless to hear opinions on Electronics from some guys who study in Business or IT... Anyway, it's Amk so basically you will get what you "pay" for ...

Re: Post office's weird delivery

Well... my other posts keep coming frequently without delay :) So I guess I have no luck with this "parcel" (actually it is more like a big letter :( )

Re: Post office's weird delivery

Unfortunately, he does not keep the receipt anymore :( I thought that Posti could retrieve the tracking ID by using sender/recipient info, however they couldn't ... Anyway, if it did not arrive tomorrow, can I "forget" about it already ?

Post office's weird delivery

Hi,

Have you experienced any kind of huge delay from the post office ?

My friend is sending me a small package from Jyväskylä to Espoo... I suppose that it should take less than a week for the package to arrive (I got my eBay order within 1 week anyway)... However, it has been almost 3 weeks but I ...

Re: Transitting in London Heathrow

Thanks for your reply,
Anyway, as I stated in my first post
Somehow I bought a ticket from BA (which is why I am feeling very sorry now )
My ticket is non-refundable and non-changeable :| !

As for the VISA, the UK Border Agency stated that I need to have a EEA state's residence permit, not ...

Re: Transitting in London Heathrow

Call British High Commission in Helsinki and get it fixed otherwise change your career in good time without losing much.
