    That's a very kind offer dl. One which I appreciate greatly. But the withdrawal symptoms have kind of eased off a bit now anyway. And it's quite a hike to your area from Moolooland...

    Which makes it safer for me to offer

    My sister has received the last parcel at long last.

    I didn't realise the USPS still used Pony Express...

    I bought some parts from CV performance recently. Nothing for a month contacted them, got a poor excuse still nothing emailed no reply, threatened to contact paypal in a week if I heard nothing, got a reply that they will resend them as they must have got lost in post. Arrived a week later. I'm happy and would deal with them again, sometimes it happens I think. I usually get stuff ex US quicker and cheaper by 50% than trademe.

    More of the same. Chain and sprockets coming from US - sent from NC on 28th Feb. Arrived Miami 3 March. Fell into a black hole the next day...apparently.

    Tried to contact USPS via email to ask what was happening and whether their tracking works outside of US. But I can't contact because to send an email, you have to nominate the US state you live in. New Zealand obviously does not exist in their tiny minds. The world ends at the US borders.

    USPS tracking is hit and miss at best. Often falls down when package gets to NZ, but sometimes it's good.

    Well. KB at its best! So who made it happen so fast, eh?

    About two hours after I posted that last one, an update hit the USPS tracker...in NZ and processing complete...
