has any one ordered anything from over seas lately UK to USA .
i ordered something really small and its be about 4 weeks and i still have not received it yet i was wondering if anyone ells has had this problem?

Depends... (I hate to say that.)

Air Mail is about 7 days from the Stoke, UK to Dallas, TX.

Surface Mail- Slow Boat 4 to 5 weeks.

Also depending on your package customs could be involved at the port of entry. However, companys like UPS and such have made this an easier process.

I would contact the shipper and find out the method of shipment. If it is anything like UPS then get a tracking number.

Regards, Andrew

Hi Grizz,

Over the last 2 months or so we've had a number of problems shipping to the US. Seems that it may be US customs who are getting a little zealous.

Some stuff goes through in about 4 days and other stuff seems to take 3 weeks or more.

Don;t know if them helps, but that's our experience.

Cheers

I ordered a VR3 through my LDS and for some reason they get them direct from the UK. So far I've been waiting for about a month and still no VR3. UPS was handling the shipping of course. God this sucks.......

Thanks for the response i don't want to say who i purchased the item from
i know its NOT their fault but were talking about a freaking screw! I'm mean what am i going to do with that? rush the cock pit of a plane and fly it to the south Pacific?
I think not, but it dose sound good.

the US customs can be a nightmare when i send stuff the the states, i send my stuff out next day most of the time but it always gets stuck in customs.
i dont know what they think some of my stuff is, but i bet they have a great time trying to guess!
was it any thing from me?
kind regards john routley

Dive Rite Express had my VR3 here in less than a week...

Enjoy the wait, righteous piece of gear.

Oh, mine came with a crap alkaline battery in it which died at the start of it's second dive

--did have fun reprogramming it (futile, as it instantly reset, low battery, right

) while hoving over the deck of the Oriskany, tourist divers swarming all over the place gulping gallons of air. Later swapped in the nice lithium 3.6V and she's rockin!

please give it a little longer, as every time some one has contacted me to ask where it is, they got it a couple of days later! if it doesnt arrive then i'll send out another one.
kind regards john
