No - all should be ok... It is all in the hands of the PO - It relies on the local PO now updating the tracking and then letting US know... Fingers crossed for the Dutch post office...

You hit Mike just as he went away and then the RCM annual bash was on the 26th which didn't help...

[ronnyboy]

yup youre right, that didnt help also, but im not putting out any blame on mike here, hence, he send the package and its out of his hands now.

he already mailed me back with some reassuring info.

just looking for some people with more experience with usps. when the package IS in the Netherlands, i can deal with it from here.

anyway thx Arctik for the fast reply :), hoping to get my truggy done before summer ends..lol.

FYI - Express mail costs a little more, but is significantly better service with superior spee and tracking. Customs is still customs, but Express usually streamlines the entire process. Glad you reeived the package finally, though. :)

Damn! Do they at least provide some type of lubricant when they stick it to you like that?

[ronnyboy]

nope, its pants down... and pay.

otherwhise the package will be returned to sender.

there is in fact a fairly good change ,if the order ammount is small, it will slip trough customs and we dont have to pay anything. but no luck this time... :(
