Hi all you boat lovers,
I almost had dream come true recently, winning a good example of lego
set 4030 in an auction in Canada. I advised the seller to send the set
by airmail which he says he did on the 16th September but the set never
arrived. I haven't any reason to distrust the seller so can only think
the parcel has gone astray in the mail and has been pinched by a postal
worker or sent to the wrong address.
I would appreciate it if anyone sees a 4030 go up for auction/sale again
in the near future, please email me. The set does not appear very often
and is rarely complete with all stickers, box and instructions in good
condition.
Thanks
Mark H.

It's a little early to abandon all hope on that package. I've had a
couple packages from Canada take over a month to get to me. I'd give it
another couple weeks (especially if it did go to the wrong address - it
may yet show up).

I think the same, Frank is right. I think something is wrong with the
Canadian Postal Service, regarding my own experiences. Airmail from Canada
to Turkey takes about a month generally, whereas the same from the US is
only 1-2 weeks. Considering that you are living in Australia, you'd better
wait some more.

Hi All,
Well miracles do happen. The package turned up yesterday. I have a feeling
it went seamail as there were no airmail labels on the box. The sender did
pay airmail postage. After seeing a 4030 go for $150+ recently I'm glad mine
finally turned up, paid $92.00 for it. The 362 is a cute set too.
