US Customs

Don't worry, its not just your side of the pond. last year I bought a kit from Poland which was duly posted and a tracking number set. Over the next couple of weeks I kept checking and it was still showing as in Poland. then I got a message from the guys saying it had been returned with a not saying my address was wrong. He included a photo of the address he had used which was perfectly fine. when I checked the tracking number, it seems it had been sat at customs at heathrow for 2 weeks and then sent back.

The guy re posted it using the same address and I got it within the week. Go figure the mystery's of the postal system.

That's my fear dealing with foreign shipping. You will eventually get it.

About 2 months ago I mailed a box to Virginia from Florida. The USPS sent it via Seattle!!  Took about 4 days to get to it's destination after the USPS screwed up and that was mailing to the lower 48.

Yup PJ, I always have trouble with the Florida mailing system. A far cry from Ohio's wich is where I am from originally.

After reading the recent replies to my whining about customs I decided to track the package again. A few days after my original post it was back in New Zealand but has yet to be delivered because the company is closed for another two weeks. I guess this sort of thing happens and it may be interesting to see how it turns out.

I sent a balsa kit to a friend in the UK awhile back. It was lost for a month before it showed back up with French customs stamps all over it. I retried and he got it within a week. Go figure. Have them try again.
