    What?

    OMG, please tell me this is a bad joke?

    When you get the packages you'll see that A) well wrapped B) well labelled (I put clear plastic pouches with your address on them), then checked against paperwork to ensure that each parcel was the weight / dimensions and correct sequence in the paperwork chain i.e. 1 parcel of 3, 2nd parcel of 3 and lastly 3rd parcel of 3. That way FedEx couldn't lose them, they were supposed to match them all up and he did so whilst standing on my doorstep!

    Ugh! Please let me know how this pans out. :-0

    I know that once they leave British soil they can go "missing in action" for roughly 2 or 3 days (that happened to a couple of Austrian and German parcels before) only to "re-appear" in the system as out for delivery, but I have no idea why this would happen other than 1 parcel was small and 2 were rather large. Could it be that they "express" delivered the smaller item?

    God alone knows... keep an eye on it and please keep me informed!

    Be a fun trip if nothing else. Sometimes packages get split up due to lack of space on planes, but they will likely get reunited. I had two parcels from the UK go to France and the Netherlands on route to Belgium...

    Hopefully your courier won't say he couldn't find the address when delivering my machines, had two Ebay sellers claim that the couriers couldn't find the address, despite it being in the middle of an industrial estate that er has security that they could ask as well as a phone number to call. :D

    I got the first package. Awesome deal! You realize it only when you hold it in your hands! Thanks Parris! :dance:

    Germany is the best option DHL and worldwide UPS. An example, you can as "normal" german not book UPS or FedEx. Its most time (or only?) for business in Germany. And of corse mostly an UPS or FedEx package from europe or oversee change till germany to an bad courier. In germany only UPS delivers from door to door WORLDWIDE. I like the Tracking of FedEx very much. But UPS is best offer when worldwide for an german :nod:
    From Japan most time EMS is the only option. It goes to DHL.
