Bikes: Indeed!

The tracking information provided by ebay can be woefully inadequate for international shipments.
I ordered some pedals from Italy on May 2. Since May 4 the tracking information provided by ebay says something to the effect of "parcel information received by post office." When I finally figured out how to use the Poste Italiane tracking system I found out that the package has traveled to this country and cleared customs on May 27.
I ordered a saddle from England also on May 2. The seller shipped it through the ebay global shipping program. It arrived in this country within a week, but then spent 2 weeks bouncing around this country. According to the tracking information it bounced back and forth between various locations in Southern California, Nevada, and Northern California 6 different times before finally coming to rest in my post office box.
I think patience is the order of the day in these peculiar times.
