April, I just this moment (Friday 20th at 1.l5pm) received my copy of P5 from the courier, and saw you Ebot reply to this message in email. I ordered the full version as I originally bought P4 from a software company in Sydney and this must have been around the time of the change to Curios Labs from MetaCreations for it was a half price package at that time as this Co was not going to stock it anymore and were clearing out old stock. I could not remember whether I attempted to register my copy or not at the time, I think I did at MetaCreations, but was not sure if that was still valid, so I bought the full version. I can tell you also I had to pay Duty and GST on it too. Airborne Express told me that I would when I rang them after I received my confirmation of shipping from Curious Labs. This came to GST: $AUS 64.91 and Electronic Entry Fee of $34.52 - totalling $99.43. Don't know if you will if you purchased the upgrade, I think it depends on the amount you paid for it in Aussie dollars. I can also tell you I would have received this package on Tuesday 24th if there had not been a mistake in the address (my name, street and postcode,but a Victorian suburb) on the shipping label. The commercial invoice from Curious Labs included in the documents with the package showed the correct address, just the label was wrong it seems. And it also seems that they involve Custom Dept. who decide about any duty - don't know if you can avoid GST. That is why I tracked mine here as I paid the duty to Customs on Saturday 21st when they rang me. If I had not of, and had the couriers SkyNet chase it up for me, I may not of gotten it at all. It was delivered by an agent of SkyNet by the way who do my area (Nowra.NSW) Hope you get your copy with no drama in Perth, I suppose having to go right across Australia to there, would make a delay. I suggest you ring Airbourne Express in WA who should be able to tell you from your tracking No.and how it will be delivered - or by who - to you, and when. Good Luck, hope it arrives soon. Jan
