thank you so much for all your thoughts , really appreciate it
I had quite a few daggers sent over the last two years and it took normally between 7 - 14 days depending on customs here in australia ,only once
a RLB was missing at arrival here and for two months I persisted and bugged everyone from police to customs from postal service to the ministers in charge and finally when involving federal police a very kind officer searched and found it , probably in a drawer ready to be smuggled out at the right opportunity
I hope it will show up eventually
thanks for your help
