    i sent some about a week and 2 days ago and they still have not recieved it. For me im not to worried since monday was presidents day and i have 2 sundays in there so that is only about 6 days. The post office told me that in the USA one cant check the status of their mail online if it is registered international, but if you go to the post office they can tell you at least if it has been delivered or not. That way, you know if your source has gotten it

    I've been told by a Euro source that he can check the tracking on an overseas package but I cannot.

    Of course he went bad, so for what it's worth.

    Never put cash in the mail. Thats an idiot thing to do. Use western union or cashevo.

    well some sources only accept cash, and I personally prefer sending it that way....much cheaper and less risky IMO..especially if its over 1000 which if so, WU requires ID.

    yea dont want to beat a dead horse, but thats why their express services usually offer a money back gurantee of some sort, they take it seriously, unlike reg mail.
