agreed.. i'm not surprised it doesn't say it's on the dark side of the moon the way usps tracking works, which is why i never even check it.. why get all stressed over something that you can't do anything about.. once it leaves the attitude and is in the postal system, whether royal mail, or good ole us snail mail, you're at the mercy of them ...
all in all though, i do have to admit that i am surprised that anything gets to any house how crazy that place is and when you think of the job that they really are doing..
i've always gotten my order from the tude, or a nice letter from customs, lol, but that was one time in probably 100 seed orders from around the world.
