I know this has been covered before guys but just a reminder, NEVER use UPS for anything unless you have no other choice.
I just got a set of limbs from our favorite tree rat in Okie and for reasons I fully understand, Bob sent them UPS. Arrive at my door with a $90 bill for tax and duty, wow. I say, as a community, support USPS or Canada Post when we can and boycott UPS, they are just bandits.
Most of us buy and sell stuff here and the level of trust we have with each other is great, I love that, but shipping stuff becomes a lottery and we all get screwed by the couriers.

Steve,
Did they give you a shipping number? I use USPS overseas a lot. The big issue for me has been once it arrives in the receiving country. At that point USPS has no control.

I had a crester sit in Germany for three weeks. They returned it and then notified the recipient it had arrived and he hadn't picked it up.

Not too impressed with USPS at moment, stuff I ordered from 3 Rivers 16 July never arrived, e-mailed 3 Rivers and they said nothing to do till after 30th Aug, this means the 50g inserts I need for my new arrows that I planned to use at WA3D world champs wont arrive in time, I will have to go with just 6 old arrows. :sbrug:
