Package was delivered on Wednesday according to tracking. As far as if AK, has hiked back to his strong hold, to see if the eagle has landed,as far as I am aware he hadn't had a chance to check as of Wednesday evening.

Hey guys! Just wanted to let you know that the package arrived Thursday, but I had to pack for an overnight trip that evening, and then spent Friday and Saturday backpacking (trying to get a few more trips in while the weather is still good!), but the plan is to get my swaps done tonight and shipped out to Andhe tomorrow. I'll be sure to update with my gives/takes soon!

So I took the package to the post office on Thursday and it was going to be like $35 for 3-5 week delivery. Does that seem normal?? I didn't send it because I thought I'd check in to see if there were other options to get it over there. Maybe I just barely pushed it over some weight limit that made the price jump a crazy amount.

Holy cow! I checked my local shipping company... I knew it would be expensive... 37€ is the cheapest atleast form this company... dont know I could possibly rather bricklink the items all together to skip the shipping costs.

Welcome to the new international shipping rates... It sucks, I think the last time I shipped to andhe it was around $25 give or take.

We pmd. He checked with DHL.... I told him to check various rates from the post office and reach out back to me. I get stuff shipped from various EU countries and it is not that bad.

Hey guys. Package is 10.0 oz
Andhe, I can probably take a photo of the contents and let you pick what you want, then just mail you those bits, and send the rest of it to whoever is next in line? Or do we have multiple people on your side of the pond who need the package?

Oops, sorry. Pics added to post above. I'm still sitting on the package. Not really up for sending it for $35 for 2-3 weeks shipping. That's crazy. If we can figure out a cheaper way to do it, I will be happy to keep it moving along.
EDIT: Looks like First Class International is only about $14 if the package is under 8 oz. I'll figure out a way to repackage it to shave the weight by a couple of ounces, and try again.

Yeah, I don't know what the lady at the Post Office was smoking, but I didn't get that option, for whatever reason. I'm going to try to get it repackaged and sent out today or tomorrow. Sorry for the delay, everyone!

No worries AK - the Post Office folks are... well...... I'll leave my comment at what I already typed Ragni - nothing in particular comes to my mind I used to collect the Shell sets but luckily I happened to be in EU whenever they ran that promo so I did a lot of driving
