why the wait?

Ok, I'm new to this and I know I'll have to be more patient in the future, but I was just curious. Why the long wait for overseas orders? I've heard up to 6wks sometimes. Was just wondering so I could set my mind at ease if I knew there was a legit reason for the delay of overseas mail.

There is a reason that they call regular mailing system "snail mail". This is why indapendant companies like ups and fedex have become so popular(for their reliability, although for our purpose I would not suggest using them for overseas orders, domestic maybe but not overseas). Sometimes it comes reletively quick and other times it could get hung up or lost in the system for a few months. Also, it could be held up in customs for longer than usual for some reason. This is why I personally would spend a few extra dollars$$, and go domestic. Not to say that I wouldn't ever order from overseas, but if your real anxious to get started it will usually take alot longer to order from overseas. :cool:

Mindkiller, thanks for the response. Have you looked at some of the price lists? "A few extra dollars" Your talking about hundreds of dollars for a domestic cycle.

That's why I continue to go international and put up with the wait. It's never just a few dollars difference.

Bro I am to the point that when I order something I am just happy that it comes. There are so many things that can go wrong ordering overseas.

It's kind of cliche' now, but this is illegal and we aren't ordering from WalMart. If you're going to play the game there are down sides.
