My Pump Just Arrived (but I'm on a deconditioning break)

In case anyone’s interested:

My pump finally arrived (after weeks of waiting).

It ended up at the local mail-sorting office after sitting in customs for fifteen business days, then the first card from the post office (to let me know the package was awaiting collection) went astray and it almost got returned to sender.

The second card from the post office did reach me however, so after a short hike across town with my I.D. and £13 for the import tax I finally got it home and out of the box and it’s totally cool.

I watched the DVD, which was more like gay-porn than an instructional video on how to use the pump (I still don’t know how the valve works or how to release the pressure, nor did it give any advice on the effects of differing pressures) but the guys were big and buff and liked playing with their cocks, which apparently means that the lack of any useful information is okay (personally I would have appreciated the option to request straight porn with my LA Pump Deluxe Package, but I guess you can’t please everyone ;) )

Unfortunately, I’ve not yet used the pump. I’m absolutely dying to try it out but I’m on a strict deconditioning break due to slowed gains and my new surgical scar which I absolutely positively want totally healed up by the time I launch my new routine for the final half-inch.

I’ve got to pick up some wraps also— due to the fact that my main reason for ordering the pump was to build up my base girth and to increase the mass of my inner penis at the pubic bone (so as to combat and hopefully reverse my baseball bat).

I want as much girth as I can get at the base without necessarily adding to the girth just below the head, so hopefully pumping with correct wrapping combined with clamping should give me the results I’m looking for (or at least get me closer to those results).

Anyways— just thought I’d post about my new pump (basically because I’m so pleased with it).

Thanks LA Pump, but next time I’d definitely prefer something by Vivid, preferably featuring Kobe Tai ;)

You’re right about the video they provide. It has little to do with the mechanics of pumping and more to do with some basic, common health-sense of being a dick owner that most of us know already. As somebody here suggested, make a Frisbie out of it or - when ordering - inquire if there is a price reduction if you don’t want the video included. Somebody (maybe me?) should email the owner (a nice guy) and tell him that his video is useless compared to the quality of his pump product.

Welcome to the club. Hope you enjoy pumping as an adjunct to your PE program.

Thanks avocet…I can’t wait to start pumping (something to look forward to)

re. the DVD — if you did that I’m not sure how he’d react, although he seems like a nice guy (I emailed him a few times when the package didn’t arrive).

It seems that the information is more for people with PD than for people wanting to know the ins and outs of pumping for girth-gains.

About what guy are you talking, chaps?

Ordering the deluxe pump and cylinder seperately saves you the $10 they charge for the DVD.

The guy that answers the emails at LA Pump

I missed that (I’d just assumed the package was cheaper). Definitely not worth the extra $10 for the DVD. Other than that the equipment’s excellent.

Oh, Charles. He became my constant interlocutor due to the delay in shipment of my order.

By the way, how long did you wait in total, Mr. Fantastic?

Thirty days.

It must have stayed with customs for about two weeks. The can keep it for up to fifteen days without notice.

It would have taken about another week to make it here from the U.S., and possibly up to three days for it to get from customs to the local mail-sorting office (if they used Royal Mail standard parcels)

Somehow the card that gets delivered to tell you the item is ready for collection went astray, but they send out a second card before returning to sender (the second card was the first indication I had of it’s arrival).

The whole thing took about 30 days.

I’ve had an email sitting in my drafts folder for the last two weeks ready to fire off to Charles as soon as it was definitely overdue (I wasn’t sure if customs could keep it for fifteen working/business days, which would have meant that they could have held it for up to three weeks, which would have made it overdue at around the 36th or 37th day)

I wonder if they send them via registered mail (if they’d given that option at checkout I would have selected it). I imagine it is registered as the parcel is pretty light and would easily ship via International Airmail Letter Post which is considerably cheaper than both Airmail Parcel Post and the Global Priority Variable Weight option.

Who knows.

Definitely, postal services is sucks, no matter in which country. Also these customs folks looks like a lazy idiots. Then we have to wait too long…

Haha that video is really the worst. I mean, how much time was spent showing the guys faces grimacing with delight?? However, I have tucked it away so that one day I can secretly slip it into the DVD collection of someone I want to embarrass, then pull it out at an inopportune moment and say “hey! what’s this?!”. I think I may yet get my money’s worth ;)

That really made me laugh because he looked so much like Scott Bakula when he was faking that orgasm. I was watching it thinking I’ll never be able to watch Enterprise again.

I was watching it thinking “well it certainly was a long time getting from there to here”

Hilarious, Mr. Fantastic. Now I can’t wait to see it “the video” just so I can laugh again. I just ordered a pump.
