LOL, I sure hope that doesn't happen to you because they'll be after me next!

It's funny you say that because my girlfriend always gives me a hard time because I ship so many games to Russia. She says that the United States has me on a watch list because of it. I asked the woman at the Post Office if such a watch list existed...knowing how gullible I am at times she said. "Yeah they watch certain people" Thought she was joking but she played it deadpan so now I'm not so sure...

When I ordered my Treamcast from China, customs held it for over a week. I ended up calling them several times to find out what was happening, it scared the shit out of me because I thought they would keep it. Eventually it came though :)

I occasionally buy from Japan and the UK through ebay and the items usually arrive within two weeks. There is no tax or any charges being made on them and I don't really know if custom held it or check on it or not. Maybe because they were cheap, i.e. under 50 dollars.
