Prima Online

5 days.

That's all it took for Prima foods to process my internet order and deliver via Fedex, door-to-door. 5 Days.

Went trolling on the web last week and found Prima foods online. They had a wonderful assortment of Singapore Food mixes and sauces, all at Singapore prices. I thought I would give it a shot and see if an order from Japan would get through Japanese customs. Like I said it took 5 days for them to process a $120 order. Singapore efficiency.

In Tokyo, it's taken 1 month to hook up the cable, 3 weeks to get an Alien registration card and still no news, after 3 weeks, on finding my car. Is it any wonder they lost the war...

Singaporeans may be crass, they may complain a lot, lack sophistication, but damn, they're efficient.
