I used european alot lately. Month's a long time.. Did order at Christmas and came in about 18-20 days. your right though, my t/a's have all been about 2wks. from ship date. Get in touch with your source, they'll always answer E mail eventually ( at least my guys do ) As far as customs letter goes? I've never had seisure. So maybe someone else can answer that one. Hope I did'nt just jinx my self LOL. Don't believe in that shit! I believe in being smart and safe. Keep orders small. Keep us posted! GB
