Actually it makes no difference to me whether or not you like them one way or the other, it just sounded like you hated them. It’s like a person owning a car they don’t like. But thank you for clearing that up.

In answer to your question it was mailed on February 12th and this is now March 14th. Also it is coming form Israel. The gentleman I bought it from said sending it through the mail was the cheapest for him too send it. Cost $150.00 for Airmail to the United States. He told me UPS and FED EX would have been more expensive. Unfortunately I have no tracking number for it just a registration number (RR number). I asked him about a tracking number, and he told me that their Post office has no way to do tracking of mail. But yet Israel can afford the Internet? That makes no sense. I want to our Main Branch Post office ware all the packages mailed through the USPS come into Frederick Maryland. They had no record in their system as to where it was. I was also informed that Registered mail takes longer because each time it goes through a Post office or loaded onto a truck or plane someone has to be there to sign for it. Plus there is also the tie up in Customs, and the through scanning to make sure it is safe. Plus all of the heightened security with this impending war with IRAQ. It’s taking longer then expected, instead of fourteen business days it’s more like four weeks. The Post office said to wait for thirty days before filing a claim for locating lost or delayed mail. So I will wait until the 28th and then go back and see what is happening. Obviously the post office was able to ship the Minimoog for him. I have shipped a Roland JX-305 through the US Mail.
