UPDATE: Well, well... what do Ya know... I got home a few mins ago from work, and in My mail box is a missed mail notice in there, on the notice is the same tracking # He gave Me after shipping the comics. Looks like My fears, and complaints were false & premature. Tomorrow I will head over to the post office, and pic up My much anticipated package, YEEAAHH BAABYY!
BTW" Took long enough though...
sadly this is always a potential problem with any international shipment in November or December due to Christmas really impacting on the mail.
very glad to hear it all worked out in the end for you
