After my two deliveries from Skoak the USPS has sent me separately documents that got detached.

I'm glad that they got the package to me and the paper materials not so important I guess (just receipt, custom forms). Makes me wonder how they are getting detached or perhaps it's just part of the customs process. The attached letter apologies for finding the materials "loose in the mail or damaged by mechanical processing equipment."

At least the shoes made it in one piece, well two really.

Can somebody give fitting comparison of EB to VASS F and U lasts? Do I understand correct that EB is similar to F last in fit? Or is it between F an U?

I was happy to see my Galways breezed through customs in NYC and have now left Bethpage, NY, wherever that is.

I know how it feels man, soon enough they will arrive. Get ready to post more pics.

I've stopped being embarrassed by the fact that I create a special email that's very handy to me which contains a link at the top to the carrier's tracking site. And I check the tracking info for updates at least four times a day. The email's subject line contains the estimated day of arrival so I have a convenient list of all my arrivals and can keep track of them. I don't think I was born this OCD.

And yes, I will post pics. But I don't have a fancy camera like some of you...

Wow. I'm in North Dakota and all my orders have been 2-3 days (minus one that got stuck in customs). But even that was only a week... I've been shipping FedEx though.

Are you sure something's not gone awry? I was given an estimate of 8-10 days using USPS by our esteemed colleagues on this thread and it looks like mine will arrive at exactly 10 days (although I don't want to jinx myself).
