No need to tell me as i actually live here. hehe
Russian post is not more of a crap then a Canadian post with their astronomic airmail rates, usps with stuff being lost, delayed, destroyed, crashed, crumpled, annihilated, being wrapped in paper, GB post with ridiculous parcel rates and small packets being lost, HK post with INSANE postal rates... Japanese SAL which is desroyed ALL THE TIME. and so on...

Man, that sounds bad. It seems I got extremely lucky, German post has always been good
since I live here. Everything gets delivered without damage, as long you don't ship sensitive
stuff merely wrapped in paper. Speed and cost are fine too.

I've got stuff sent to me from these countries the last few years: Germany, Estonia, Great Britain, France, Brazil, USA, Japan, China, Australia, Sweden and possibly a few more. Nothing has ever arrived broken or delayed save for a few Sega CD cases. But that was not the post service to blame, since the eggs I ordered in the same packages always arrived in mint condition.

[Joe Redifer]

I'll take some eggs and some Sega CD games, thanks.

Spanish mail service is not that bad either, IMO

Can you guess why I wrote that?

[TulioAdriano]

I'd assume it's ground shipping.
The game was $35.00 incl. worldwide shipping. Some places will cost $25.00+ or so just to ship airmail.

Sending one parcel is very different than sending thousands. Believe me, when you do massive shipping, prices are VERY different!

I have to chime in on Canadian post - back in the 90's, the company I worked for had 100% of all shipments to Canada disappear in customs. It was so bad that we had a Canadian dealer drive into the US, pick up packages, and personally carry them back. All Canadians were then directed to purchase from him. It's not like it was explosives or chemicals or anything, just a plain computer board. We were stumped on what Canada was doing with the things.

Because you do your grocery shopping online?

No, because egg shells are more reliable than Sega CD cases .

True dat, yo.

I got my confirmation e-mail update, but failed to double check my shipping information in time (the notification was sent to my old yahoo account, instead of my gmail). I remember updating it last time, but I wanted to make sure it doesn't go to my old address. I'm a bit worried, but hopeful it'll get to my new location. Zebbe, are you able to check that for me?

[Zebbe]

No, I can't. Use this email form and provide as much information as possible:

Thanks, I sent an inquiry.

In the United States with the USPS it is no problem to file a change of a address form so that mail in your name will be forwarded to your new adress.
Assuming they aren't using UPS or FedEx you should be able to have a misdirected package get to you.
