One day I lost 20+ NES games.
The pack simply disappeared somewhere between USA and Brazil.
Lots of good stuff LOST.
Damn!  :'(

Sadly, the post office fails all of us.  I'm not sure what else you can do when sending an IMPO, but for packages I always go with UPS.

This always happens. Usually they pull through, but I've lost a lot of money from lost mail. :(

Oooo. That's bad news -- paying by mail. I hate having to do that. I much prefer electronic transactions because there's always a record and it touches no itchy fingers. BTW: This was for a Famicom? CIB or just the Fami?

Well, if it doesn't work out or whatever and you need a Famicom, I've got an extra one I'll likely be getting rid of soon.

I know how it is. :) I hate waiting...but often I do SAL to save money, instead of the faster options. I've got some of my own goodies coming from Japan. Can't wait...but it's slow.

I always get airmail from HK, it typically takes 6 or 7 days.  EMS from HK is quicker, but when I'm getting large boxes of stuff it's nowhere near as economical to get my stuff 2-3 days sooner.  Going to check my mail box later and see if any goodies arrived :)

How fast is airmail from Japan to the states compared to EMS?

From my experience, it's about the same as what you're saying it's like from HK. But SAL...now that's a different story.

Woohoo, I just opened a box of goodies!!  Check the "finds" thread over in buy/sell in about 15 minutes.  Christmas came early this year  ;)

I've always found that stuff from HK takes 1 to 2 weeks longer...  Just my experience...

Mailpost always fail, don't try to send money in that way, use a credit cart or a bank card. Here in Argentina post-mail is not expensive, and that's why you can lost your games or money. Once I lost more than 15 Famicom games. I try to sue them, but they say me they have the "permission" to lose things and stuff. :/
Sorry my bad english.

Regards! Switchstance
