I ordered a book (FreeBSD Admin reference manual) in English from Amazon UK, which meant delivery to Paris, France should take a week or two. A month later, I informed Amazon, and they sent a replacement that arrived in a matter of days. A few weeks later, the original order arrived, with a UK postmark on it and loads of US stamps and the like, with USPS notes written on it. From London, via Paris, Texas, and for some reason Denver and Newark, it got here.
