There are many orders that have arived without email notification at all.  e Frontier are working their way through the notifications, even after most of the boxes have been shiped.

It is a long process from the USA to another country.  I know for the uk it has to get to customs then, Royal Mail pick it up along with the VAT charge @ 17.5%.  

Then it has to go through the whole shipping process again, only you dont get to choose what service its delivered under. It gets delivered under standard parcel post which at a non busy time of year can take a week to arive.  When they do deliver it your get charged on the door for postal charges from the customs to your door with the additional VAT on top.  Rip off britan hey.

Now if we are lucky it wont have the corners of the box dented and have a hole in it somwhere.
If its sent too late then thats a very bad thing as it wont get delivered untill Jan 2007 from which the box has been thown from one place to another a thousand times over.   ESD software is a good idear but they should drop the price on all software when you dont get nothink physical for your money., it may then make people want the ESD versions more then.
