Well I don't know for USPS but I guess that's the kind of reason they advised that outside US we should use FEDEX on the purchases that are to be sent.

 

Is there any chance that you maybe can contact someone at USPS directly with your tracking number, but I guess they have their routes and methods of delivery that may be going this way for some reason. Not sure why though as it obviously is not the quicker route.

Well USPS said it should take about 3-5 days, the package is now 4 days onroute

 

also fedex would have cost over 210$, the whole package would then cost over 700$... i was not willing to pay that much....

Wizz84, from working in logisitcs I know how easy it is for a package to be misrouted. At work we once manage to send a complete semi trailer with goods that was going to a customer in Bodo, all the way back down to Oslo where it came from... Misrouting happens, but eventually it gets there. If you call USPS they can likeley figure out what happened. I hardly belive China is a normal routing for a package going to Austria.

Well, my Package is now at the Chinese Customs Clearance.. i cant believe this.....

 

i am also not allowed to contact USPS directly since I am not an US Citizen, i have submit a ticket and hope that PMDG can help me out... (i dont blame them, but they are the only ones who can ask them what the hell happend to my Package)

best regards,

If PMDG really is based off Nevada, then it makes perfect sense for the package to go to China and then to Austria. After all, USPS "piggy-backs" on airlines.

Looks like the USPS is in worse financial shape than we thought. They're outsourcing all their deliveries to China.

China is simply a huge hub for cargo... I'm not surprised it would take this long...

Howd it go with the China delivery guys?

 

Anyway for the logic of it - much cargo flows from China eastward into the US. Since cargo haulers need to get their planes back to China for another load, they might be selling space at the cheap to make up a bit, consequently it might be cheaper to ship these things westwards.

Rob,

 

I was just curious as to when you're making the Schematic Posters available separately? They still say "Within Hours".
