Dear kazoo,
I am glad to hear that it is released.
I had always this problem when I lived in Austria. From Asian countries: China, HK, Singapore some members were sending registered mail. It got stuck in customs and I had to pay extra money like 31 Euros to get it. Even though I reported online that it contains things with no special value. This customs tax made me very upset. Lately I was just refusing the letters so they were sending it back to the owner.
Now I live in Germany and it didn't happen so far.
