    Guess what - I had given up on this ever arriving but the resent LED panel arrived today. That's 5 months after they said it was resent.
    The package itself (a think cardboard box) was a little "Squashed" but the panel works just fine.

    My son-in-law needed some steering parts for a ride on mower. Its an Ariens brand. He hunted around Australian mower sales mobs and found he could buy cheaper from the USA including freight so he placed the order. He also gets impatient so he kept an eye on the tracking service to know when he should get it. The parcel left the US by air freight and arrived at Sydney Airport where it sat for a couple of days, he thought beudy I will have the parts any time......they didn't arrive so he went back to the tracker which told him the parts went to Tokyo for a day then returned to Sydney then another 2 days before he received them. I might add that this was right on Christmas about 3 years ago
    Just do it!

    Kind regards Rod

    Talk about travelling the world--a couple of years ago I had a small parcel posted from the UK, the tracking and subsequent postmarks on the parcel saw it sent via Ascension Island, way down in the
    South Atlantic Surprisingly I had it in my hands 4 days after it was originally postmarked in the UK.

    Back in the 1990s on a trip back from Venice Dad lost his luggage. A week later the airline called to say luggage has been found in Auckland. When the suitcase arrived , it was found to have tags for Rome, London, Fort Lauderdale, LA, Auckland. He was most pleased to find his bottle of vintage Grappa still intact.
