one week is nuthin... :) If you picked the cheapest pack it could last up to 3-4 weeks! If you have an ID, check the position on the USPS page...
What did you bought old man? Wheelchair? Baby phone? Mushroom killer? :wink:

Have you checked if its allowed to import what you bought...? There are damn ill restrictions for getting stuff outta the u.s.

I think you'll get the next info-mail when your pack arrived the lovely EU / Rotterdam... I mean what should they write while being on the atlantic?

Did you checked the taxes for importing an instrument?!
Cause usually you gonna pay about 25% extra for sales tax and duty...

You'll be looking at 3-4 weeks or so indeed, 9 days is usually close to impossible.

I wouldn't worry about taxes too much. With secondhand gear, you usually don't have to pay all that, because it doesn't get checked. Let alone the fact that this is discontinued gear.

Take a look at a globe or a map of the world.. europe is way closer to the east coast of the US (package left america in NJ) than australia is to the west coast (where our packages leave america from).. so it makes no sense that it would take longer.

there is usually more than 1 place of every name - lots of the names for place in america and australia are based off original names of english places.. I'm not sure if there's a place in england called adelaide, but yeah.. there is one in australia and one in amercia.. and maybe more.

Hi,
I also need help.
I found a nice shop with shoes online I started shoping.. everything was ok at the begining. I asked the shop how long (more or less) I'll be waiting for my shoes and they said that about 3 weeks.. ok..

I ordered the shoes at 6 December, and till know I don;t have them.
I started to worry how long would it take. I thought that they will be at the begining of January, but now when i checked to USPS site I'm quite sad, because the shoes are stil in USA!!!! WHY?

Please help me, because I don't understand everything from their site.
I ordered shoes from USA to Poland.

Take a look and tell me when can I expect my package:(
