BTW my last parcel from OSE was sent by Steve on the 6th of July and I received it on the 8th of August.

same year ?

USPS told me that the Australian Post was on strike? Can anyone verify? I guess that's why my shipment to Australia still hasn't been delivered although it cleared customs on Aug 2nd.

Last AustPost strike ended on 19 Dec 2009.

Haha, I guess the US Post office failed to get the memo!

My "speedies" ( i still like speedo better) came in the mail today. I got one soldered up, heat sunk, and programmed today, all I need left is a bit o' brass tube!

hard to tell if you are being sarcastic or not, i'm sorry I need 1/4" by three feet, not 1/3" by about 2", unless it's grown

Ahaa. No not being sarcastic. Just the Aussie sense of humor. Believe me if you lived down the street you would have your brass tube now.

Reference Post 3619:

I emailed Aus Post and they replied saying the shipment was delivered on August 8th. Their tracking for the item doesn't even work! I am still having trouble getting Paypal to put the $508 back in my account. You would think if the guy that got the shipment was actually honest saying his credit card was used without his authorization would have refused the shipment. But NO, he kept it. Obviously a crook. OK guys, go knock on his door! I'm tired of his dishonesty. I want him to clear the hold with paypal. Any point in me contacting the local police in his town?

Thanks.
