8 days to even be ready to ship abroad :cry:
Edit: sorry 9 days I mean. Is it supposed to travel at light speed once it leaves the US, because it isn't even here yet.
Second time now :angry:
That's why it's called 'Snail Mail'. Try UPS next time. :yup:Quote:

I know it's to prevent people from ordering online rather than buying it here, but what about when things aren't available here?
Even to ship in Canada from the US I never use UPS, fast, but the brokerage fees can be quite crazy...!
It is, indeed it is my friend.Quote:

I ordered the CD by USPS and it took like 3 fucking weeks to get here though.
I had a strange thought enter my head that horses are more useful to filmmakers than to cowboys.Quote:

In a ranking of importance for filmmakers it's something like studio money ,sycophants,bimbos ,drugs, Johnny Depp , horses and finally art.
On the other hand for cowboys it's a hat (preferably cowboy), a horse , a sixshooter or maybe a Winchester and lastly the love of a good woman which depending on circumstance can be either a hooker with a heart of gold or a schoolmarm.
I take it you haven't seen Brokeback Mountain then ?Quote:

It's government funded and priced only to meet budget, not to turn a profit. That's why stamp prices (bulk of mail) are always changing.Quote:

Lol, when I used to ship things for work, nine times out of ten there was never more than one day difference between standard and priority. The price wasn't worth it arriving 24 hours earlier.
It hugely depends on what you're ordering though.Quote:

Your item left the United States from FOREIGN CENTERJERSEY CITY NJ 099 at 10:40 am on June 04, 2011. Information, if available, is updated periodically throughout the day. Please check again later.
You must admit though, you couldn't get much more out of the way than your current address, it's near the Arctic circle ffs....Quote:

Bad as USPS may be it's still preferable to a postal lockout which we ( Canada) have right now. I have three separate orders stuck in limbo and no telling when I will be getting them.
Part of the problem is that excluding parcels the mail system is so devalued nowadays that no one is in a hurry to rectify the situation.
