I actually found out tracking numbers for international shipping worldwide aren't always that usefull either unless you use the very expensive shipping companies like UPS or DHL. The other companies often have subcontracts with other shippers and tracking is poor, even with tracking numbers. Also tracking still don't help you when customs is involved. I only have had good experiences with this with international business to business shipping.

Even TNT-Post gives out tracking numbers for shipping outside of the EU but specifically lets you know that these numbers can only be used for inquiries, not for live tracking, and these inquiries can take weeks before you get an answer. Also had this with Jamiemirror when we finally used the tracking number for a package sent by him to me to get info. Weeks after it finally arived here we got a reply that it had been delivered.
Ergo, useless for safeguarding your shipment.

Other then that. Good points on the shipping and international orders NoHachi. Do keep in mind that such a topic as the one of 3TC serves as a good warning to what has gone wrong in the past. Its still hard to judge whether we're talking about 1% or 99% of orders placed with Luis. Also what if he starts doing everything perfectly from tomorow forward? These topics exist forever.

Robo, we don't close topics so quickly. If this discussion indeed goes into nothingness we can always do so. But I'm no censor..
