This message from the USPS finally showed up on the tracking today. Maybe this time it really, really is on its way to Australia.
"Your item was processed through our CHICAGO IL INTERNATIONAL DISTRIBUTION CENTER facility on September 12, 2021 at 9:10 pm. The item is currently in transit to the destination."

I just found this notice on the USPS web site. It looks like shipping to Australia is disrupted. I am not sure if our package got out ahead of it or not. Supposedly the USPS will return it to me if it can't be shipped. I apologize to our international customers. We will just have to see what happens.
From the USPS web site:

Just checked the tracking number and the package is supposedly still "in transit" after leaving the Chicago international terminal on Sept 12 as posted above. We shall see.

I've tried several times to log in on this forum in the last 3 years and it always seems to fail. I was on the old forums for years and ProBoards doesn't seem to like my user name (Polish_Cavlaryman)
So unfortunately I cannot send this as a PM. Hopefully you see it and I can send in an order.
I would like to order the latest desk. 1 deck (mailing in USA).

What you can do is make your username anything else, and then you can set your public name as whatever you want. The actual username you pick isn’t really important.
HI everyone, sorry for the long delays on the International orders. I'm glad I didn't open pre-orders! I've never had an import struggle this much to get into Australia. It seems that the issues outbound from Chicago were significant, but now in the last few weeks Australia's postal system has gotten overwhelmed too. I do believe the package did make the cutoff to leave USA, at very least it did in their system, as the tracking is live on Australia's system, simply stating:
It's on its way Most recent update Cleared and awaiting international departure
CHICAGO (US), UNITED STATES
Date & timeSun 12 Sep, 9.10pm
So its been 3 weeks since that update, but, its hard to know further than that. I'm watching the tracking closely and will update if I see any progress. Cheers all Evan - Rival Sky Games
