The only time I had trouble with a USA purchase was, I believe, with a shady vendor (after I paid, he stopped responding to emails and I never received the package) but I had done many many USA, Canadian, UK & German purchases, all with very happy endings.
@Wingdow
Aleta, I KNOW it will arrive safely. I'm not really worried out that
. Just very keen and constantly checking my front door & post box.
My half-hearted whinge is simply that I wish that Aust Post could sync it's tracking with USPS. USPS tracking always ends when it hands over the package to Australian customs and Aust Post does not recognise USPS tracking number.
I know that my Wingdow was being processed by Australian Customs on 12 May. It's now 16th May and I have no idea what Aust Post is doing.
