Has anyone ever had any problems in being sent CD's ordered from the US to the UK? I ordered a whole bunch of stuff from www.secondspin.com ( mars Electric to Nine Days, Sam 7, Neve and Evan and jaron) which was supposedly shipped on 20th Oct, but i haven't recieved it yet. Just wondered if anyone had ever had any horror stories involving postage problems from the US to the UK.....Can stuff be traced if it has got lost?

Good idea is not to use Pretty looking stamps........strange as it might sound, packages get stolen because of stamps from collectable countries like OZ etc.........so the Post office told me!!!! : )

Sometimes it get stuck at the customs for weeks.

I lost 5 packages from Germany to the US in July 2000. Three of them were insured, but then I had to explain to the postal service why a certain CD may be worth $100 or more. Next thing is getting the money doesn't make it easy to find another copy of a rare item.

Take care

Occasionally, international shipments can get held up for longer periods of time. While in Amsterdam last year, I sent out postcards that took 3 months to finally show up here in the U.S. I just came back from Germany and Zurich (Hi, Peter!), and none of my post cards (the first one was mailed on the 22nd) has showed up yet. However, something that I mailed off to Zurich from the U.S. on a Saturday, took less than a week to arrive. Go figure...

So, perhaps, your CDs are still on the way. Give it a little more time. Enough people have had no trouble with the company, so I just think it's the international mail's fault.

They are very reliable so I'm sure you will get them soon.

customs.
As for tracing it depends on postage methods, if you've insured the package it is possible but uninsured there's little chance of finding it if it's missing.
I wouldn't worry at this stage. Have faith.]]> Carl NoticeboardWed, 01 Nov 2000 22:47:22 +1100 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,7901,7901#msg-7901 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,7901,7901#msg-7901
