I just got a package, that I ordered from Futurlec. It took almost a month 
to get here. As not to alarm anyone, I can explain why. One of those weeks 
could be attributed to my local post office, or specifically, my mail 
carrier. They tried to deliver it to my office last Saturday, but its 
closed on Saturday, and she didn't leave a notice, until a week later. I 
picked it up from the Post office, today.

Futurlec sends it Registered Mail, so it has to be signed for, and not left 
with a neighbor. The point of origin is Thailand, but its processed thru 
Singapore. The Invoice has an Australian address. The New York City 
address, I suspect, is just a PO Box. They also take about a week to 
process it. So if you're in the US or Europe, don't expect your parcel 
anytime soon. I suspect deliveries to Australia will show up sooner, unless 
 you have a customs service that follows the Euro model. Keep it in a 
warehouse for a few weeks. If its a terrorist bomb, then it will blow up 
there.
