What, are you worried the tape will get damaged from X-ray or do you have something perverse hidden in the boxes? I have flewn with various electronic devices including SD memory cards and magnetic media in my hand luggage which goes through security control and so far all of them ended up working fine afterwards. I'm sure several of the other members have similar experiences, not to mention buying games and stuff from abroad.

Anyway, I hope you checked the Gift box since this really is meant as a gift with a little monetary compensation. It would be a slight disappointment if those of us overseas get small notices from customs about paying VAT and fees for something that actually can not be bought in stores.

Good to know tapes aren't that vulnerable to x-rays. I guess I also shouldn't have packed the tapes with the over-sized, industrial strength, Denial novelty refrigerator magnets.

Before I automated my postage, customs forms were the bane of my existence. AND I used to get yelled at on a daily basis by postal clerks if I showed up any time in the last hour of the day. My favorite thing now is to walk in within the last 5 minutes, and stand there looking sheepish, with two full tubs of Ebay packages... THEN tell them it's all metered and ready to go. :)

My Datasette just started going wonky yesterday, of course, but I'm hoping a head cleaning will get it back on track. Will post as soon as the magic box arrives... Christmas is early this year!

Yes, the new international customs forms for the U.S. Postal Service are awful. So much to write on them! So much more for the postal workers to input into their computers! Everything slows down then at the counter.

I got tracking numbers with all the collections. They'll start arriving tomorrow.

Can you guys check in when you get them in another thread. Perhaps, I'll make a "spoiler" thread, so you can say whatever about the contents.

Whatever people want to. I'll be waiting for mine to arrive so I can donate at least how much it cost Jeff to send mine to the UK...

I would have loved to buy one of these boxes but I don't have room for more stuff right now :-(

Your games are always imaginative and great fun, and the box looks awesome, so it pains me but it just wasn't possible.

Still nothing over here. :? I wouldn't think much about delays if it wasn't for so many other people received their copies.

I'm in the same boat. My concern is that our distribution centre is a bit rubbish... I'm sure it'll arrive eventually though. :)

That's up to how much a person is comfortable in giving. In my case, it was an "Andrew Jackson"+$1 for any Paypal fees+actual postage costs.

Merry Christmas!
