Yeah I'm in Toronto, but I chose standard shipping because I already felt hosed being charged the brokerage fees, in hindsight I should have opted for express post or whatever. But - I also knew that meant UPS and I have been hosed enough times by those crooks when things from Ebay arrive out of the U.S., now I always choose the regular postal system or whatever else they suggest is the cheapest. Live & learn I suppose.
Anyway - I have friends in the Land / Air freight business on the Security side of things, stolen ( I mean 'Lost' ) shipments are huge. They have received crates of laptops with all of the boxes in the middle carefully opened and resealed with just enough weight to fool the scales that the boxes are full. Solving that kind of stuff between multiple shipping agencies is next to impossible so I'm really not surprised that my kindle never made it too far out of Kentucky !
Hopefully Amazon will expedite a replacement for me on Monday after they call me back ( I hope! ).
