Along with not having the money to put into paypal and order anyway, the wait is another reason why I'd much rather hunt down a closer, cheaper, not-the-same-but-still-worthy wig and costume, and roll with it. It's going to be forever until the next convention contest anyway, so I don't expect to be criticized for my non-official but good enough cosplays.
When and if someday, I get enough money to order online, it'll only be a costume that has a low cost and is a character from a series I truly take to heart. Ex. I won't order an Akatsuki or Org 13 cloak and wig just to be able to blend into a Narutp/KH group. I would, however, order Goku's Turtle School and King Kai symbol patches, and hair wig if the wig in question looks true to the character.
