Status: online 		How is the AFP product shipped to destinations outside the USA?

At the beginning of the week I paid the $24.95 for international shipping but haven't received any tracking number or anything and figured that, since a CD and a couple of manuals should fit in a UPS Global Priority bag and be delivered within 7 days for $9, the $25 would be for some kind of courier delivery with tracking facility.

Thanks

However that's a good idea ... we can look into that solution by request.

Don't worry ... it will get there. We have had no problems with sims getting to NZ or AUS within 2 weeks or less.

South Africa and Canada have been the slowest.

Status: online 		Yeah, Radical RC recently sent me a Thunder Tiger 46Pro engine along with some receiver batteries and other odds and ends in a USPS Global Priority envelope. All that stuff (far bulkier and heavier than a disk and couple of manuals) cost just $9 in freight and it took a mere 7 days to arrive. *That's* good value and good service!

Most of the other US companies I buy from are also using USPS Global Priority shipping now with similarly cheap and effective results.

Hell, for $18 you can send the stuff by tracked EMS courier in 5 days so someone's ripping you off with that $25 price-tag.
