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?    ;-)
