Ordered a pile of small antenna bits from a company in Germany on
the 22nd of December, paid for 'economy shipping - German Post
office' of $5 Euro not expecting anything to be fast this time of
year.<br>
<br>
In contrast, I ordered a electronic module from another German
company back in the 1st week of December, Only shipping option
Fedex. They lost it, and are processing the insurance claim now.
<br>
<br>
Sometimes you just don't get what you pay for with shipping.<br>
<br>
Oh, and happy new year, don't post to here very often these days.
:-)<br>
<br>
Cheers, Chris H.<br>

Cheap mail == less than best service. Normally fast, but
sometimes slow.<br>

Some stuff I ordered from Dynamic Perception in the USA at
the end of November still hasn't made it here.<br>
Chasing them was a waste of time as they pass it through
someone else.<br>

This happened to my dx order a year or two back. I
assumed it was stuck in some Christmas customs backlog
in Auckland. It got logged into NZ and delivered
eventually.<br>

Greetings all<br>
<br>
Thought I'd end the year with a grumble :)<br>
<br>
Stuff I ordered from Chinavasion in the middle
of December has<br>
reported on<br>
the tracking "Left country of origin" since 17th
Dec. Is this<br>
some new<br>
definition of airmail where the 'plane goes via
sea?<br>
<br>
I can only assume it is parked up on a runway
somewhere :(<br>
