I've always used USPS Express Mail (international) and the 3 to 5 days was 3 to 5 days. Even to Oz. The cost has only been slightly higher than Air Mail. Your experience makes me worried about the next time I send something overseas via this method... -- Christian http://photography.skofteland.net -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
