I have had tones of problems with people shipping stuff to me in the UK from the states, it either takes 3-4 weeks to get here or not at all!
Apart from mike and josh\'s packages, mikes can get here in like 3-7 days and josh\'s take a little longer but that is because of the size and weight.
In my mind and i have found that the shipping services used dont help you guys in the USA, they seem to be so unpredictable.
If you put a mask in a box and send it cheap as possible then it will take forever to reach to UK (not suggesting thats what mike did as i stated above) you have to cover your back and get tracking numbers even if you trust the person your sending to because in my experiances i would\'nt trust some of the US postal service providers as far as i could throw em!
unfortunately there are people out there that for some reason think they are smarter than everyone else or that they just dont care, they will say they have sent stuff when they have\'nt or say it cost $30 shipping and then send it for $10 or say they have\'nt recived anything when it gets left on their door step when they are at work because it was\'nt a signed for service, it goes on and on.
My only advice to you mike my old mucker is TRUST-NO-ONE!
Either get them in an email to confirm that they understand once you have posted out and you have proof of postage that you are not responsable for what happens to it then or tell em they have to pay for tracking and all that or no deal.
Its a shame mate but thats what people of the world are like today, your out of pocket because someone else is a scum bag.
