Jul 06, 2010 22:00 | #4 Yes outside US but I have an APO address. I doubt the other two will come in but the last tripod from RRS is the only one that has a little bit of chance. If it pass the 10 day mark and I'm on day 8, it means it's either stolen again or lost. Why do I feel like someone is using those tripods now and laughing at me.

Outside the US and having them shipping to an APO (military) address so he's forced to use USPS. UPS, Fedex, etc. are not options for him. -- Ken

The military APO/FPO system simply doesn't work that way. -- Ken
