It wouldn't be unusual for a package sent surface mail from HK to take 3 months to arrive here in the U.S.

I don't want to give you false hope, but I wouldn't start worrying and/or filing an insurance claim until the second half of May.

Does Ireland have a habit of intercepting and then holding things for ransom in customs?

I've never bought anything from Peppin but as far as I've heard everyone has been a happy camper. If it's going by surface it could take anywhere from sixty to ninety days I believe from HK to the UK.

Hummmmm.....????? Would not know, first time for me! But normally the first time does not hurt, so they say!

Yeah, it is the first time that i get something from out of country here in Ireland. I know they did it to me in France once... It might be highly probable that they do the same here!

But still..... it does not say a thing on the tracing that it "Is In Ireland".... Oh well.

I bought 7200 from Peppin, and it also took quite some time for it to get to Texas - I think more than 2 months. The tracking system said the same thing as yours - left Hong Kong, and that was it.
Hopefully you'll get it soon - it is an awesome box!

I hope this works out for you bredgeo, i had 2 parcels from peppin via airmail the first took 3 days and number 2 took just over a week this was over the christmas period, also i had a blaster from australia via ground it took 1 month, surly your parcel should be here by now damn
