    At least your package should have some interesting markings if it ever gets to Orlando. I'd save the packaging if I were the recipient.
    You too huh, what is it with the Springfield hub and us in CT

    I have now heard that there is some tracking that can be seen by Royal Mail employees, but it can't be seen by customers.

    Good News: Italy has noticed the mis-sort error, and it is being sent back to the US. Bad News: no-one knows how long this will take, and Royal Mail can do nothing to speed it up.

    But maybe it won't need to clear Customs again in New York? On the other hand....fingers crossed.

    It appears to be back in NY!

    That's good news, at least. I've been advised by USPS in the past to be very careful of packages sent to Italy. Not entirely sure why, now that I think of it, but I was told it was safer to ship to Australia than Italy for international untracked packages. 0.o

    Yes. I'm signed-up for email updates, and was advised that last night. That's a relief. I am holding my breath now that they can manage to get it to Orlando.

    I suspect it has to do with missing parcels. My Italian silver-ray celluloid Zemax lever-filler never arrived, and an effort to trace it proved futile despite Italian registered mail.

    And I've had a few problems with Australia...

    Anyway, I personally am a lot less worried now that it is out of Italy and back in NY.

    It was, and apparently none the worse for it's week long holiday in Italy. Interestingly, all of the tracking relating to the "mis-sort" has been tidied up. i.e. removed. ebay delivery date missed though....

    On Wednesday, I sent a couple of pens for repair to Ron in Philly

    We arrive in FL just before the end of the month. What odds would I get that we'll arrive in the US before the pens do?
