Got this 30/06/03

Thank you for ordering from musictoday.com. Your customer number is
xxx. Your order number is xxx . Your order is being
processed and will be shipped promptly.


Ship Method: DHL (2 to 4 weeks delivery. The customer is responsible for all
duties and taxes incurred upon delivery.)

Obviously I haven't received anything yet, but just to put it in a little perspective.

I ordered some stuff online from a US company on 24/06/03, paid $13 for shipping and it arrived 01/07/03. It was sent via regular mail and was a box 4"x 4"x 8". I was most surprised to receive it that quickly, but a bit pissed off when I realised that I'd been charged $4 for "handling" - the postage cost is stamped on the outside of the box and is $9! Nice little bit of extra cash for the company.
I sent a friend 3 CD's to Australia, costing me £4, and she received them within a week.
Also check out how much some sellers charge for shipping on eBay - one guy is charging £29.99 to post an mp3 player in the UK, with no insurance!
I guess I'm saying I'd prefer anything I bought from the US to be shipped regular airmail, as the cost is considerably lower. Having said that, the total cost to me for theCD is $18.99, about £12.66, so it is a cost I can live with. Just hoping it gets here before the 11th or I wont get to hear it for 6 months.
A bit of a lottery, but it still seems to be a major improvement on past years.

Same here.
