    Ordering OverSea's (Xmas time)

    Just a heads up:
    Right now is the best time of year to take advantage of the low prices of over sea's sources because of the enormous volume of mail from Thanksgiving till Xmas.
    USPS is expecting to handle 20 billion pieces of mail which gives you a much better chance of getting your stuff.
    Be safe

    That is a good point M...customs can't possibly scan all those Christmas packages.

    Ho Ho Ho!

    what,like a holiday sale

    another thing with the high amount of mail is delivery time wont be as fast,just be prepared.dont order something a week before you need it,even if you usually get it that quick,you wont this time of yr

    on the other hand they take on thousands of extra cutoms inspectors for this very reason mate. its a lottery at any time of the year unfortunatley.

    But im in touch with hundreds of sources in europe and the Uk and this year they have found it particularly easy to get stuff into the states,. well those states outside the hot zones any way.
