Ha!

That is because I am on the other side of the world from Wales in the real world - Western Australia, where the birds are singing and I can see the fish jumping - but I still don't have my Touch.

If my memory serves me correctly Japan has 6 or 7 day a week mail services too. Now that is what I call "service"

Hey I can see the fish jumping here too... All the way in Niagara Falls Canada.. And yes I am "TOUCHED"

Have you got an eta on how much longer you have to wait? I once waited a month for customs to get off the butts for a portable Wireless Amp for a friend of mine.

When you get "TOUCHED" let us know.

I think most of us in Australia and New Zealand have no idea of the ETA. Borders do not issue tracking numbers for international orders so we can't look it up. But going by other US sites that I order from, delivery time is usually 10 days or so. It's been just over 2 weeks for me

Flights still disrupted by ash here today - not sure about Australia. Looks like my Touch isn't going to arrive any time soon

And why do the most active volcanoes always have complicated names? This one is Mt Puyehue Cordon Caulle.

And for anyone that knows their geography New Zealand is WEST of Chile and the ash is travelling EAST - so it has travelled a tremendous distance. Australia is (or at least was) also affected.

(Actually, all I know is that flights have been cancelled due to ash and that my kobo is in transit between the US and New Zealand so has probably been held up - I ordered 12 days ago and usually goods from the US arrive about now).
I had ordered a new saxophone mouthpiece from USA about this time and it arrived in a week (about the normal time for deliveries), so I would ask your supplier what exactly is happening. Sounds like a bit of a convenient excuse to me- the flights weren't grounded for weeks on end.

Not yet. I ordered late on the 19th and received notification that my order had shipped late on the 21st of June. With any luck it will arrive by next weekend.

Mine shipped on the 15th, has arrived today (for reference, I live in Sydney). Good thing too, I was getting unreasonably annoyed at its absence otherwise.

I agree, mine shipped on the 13th - still waiting....starting to get a bit impatient. Drove home this afternoon hoping to see a parcel or courier card - nothing doing...

Out of curiosity, does Kobo have a Japanese interface available?
