So the package took a six month round trip to the UK ? Boy does that sound
familiar. I'm arguing with the USPS for a postage refund on a package that was
gone six months (Oct 2001 - Apr 2002) with not much success. At least the one
you have there indicates a reason for return, 'Not Called For', which sounds a
bit like the buyer did not want to pay the customs duty. Please keep us
informed as to how this turns out.
