Haha, paypal gives them my address and that works fine for most cases unless a phone number is also required. The main problem here is that nobody knows who TNT Post gives their packages to at our end, our national post and EMS can't recognize their tracking number and TNT here doesn't deal with "normal" mail. So even though I might have tracking information for the package I don't even know who to harass about delivering it or how they could identify the package even if they had it. At first I had decided not to sweat it and just make the seller resend it at their expense but the more I think about it the less confident I am that this package will ever surface at either end ...and resending it seems like yet another gamble. kris -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
