I got one of my packages from a well known US-dealer ;) after three months,
with inside notice: This package was opened by the AUSTRALIAN customs.

Around the world and still not unbelievably late.

They do have fast carrier pigeons there ;)

Greetings from AUSTRIA

I once sent a small package to Peru, Indiana. Of course it went to Lima
Peru, where someone stamped it "address unknown" and sent it back to the "Dead
Mail" center in Miami. There some smart person noticed the address and sent it
on its way.
It arrived one month late, in perfect shape.
I would like to have the frequent flyer miles that package earned!

Another one sent to Texas came back with the notice "Customs Declaration is
missing". We have always known that Texas is different but when did it become
independent? ;-)
