yes... German shipping and receiving is privative and a total crap shoot. Effective postage stopped when the Electors stopped getting together to elect an Emperor.
I just received an unannounced package from FedEx. Turns out it was posted via UPS, then delivered by FedEx. That's an unusual carrier in my neck of the woods. I usually only see that tuck pulling up, whenever I ordered from one specific vendor in the US.
Not T2K though. But another RPG book coming from the UK.
Also, not the package due to be delivered by USPS. That was announced, but I haven't head from it since it arrived in customs 8 days ago.
Yes, crap shot.
