Yeah the door knocking thing was only a joke, wouldn't be much fun turning up at a random house!
It wasn't an ebay purchase, just done on faith from a private seller (risky I know but he has already sent me 2 packages previously).
I've had stuff stuck in customs before, and they turned up after some phone calls and a small payment.
If I had the tracking number I'd be OK, but suddenly I'm not getting any responses. The annoying thing is that previously we've done 2 deals that have gone really smoothly. Also the seller is a professional photographer, and I'd have hoped that he's understand how valuable in both money and film the package is!
I'll keep trying, but both USPS and parcelforce here in the UK are both totally unwilling to even try without the tracking number. So frustrating to think there is a box of film just sitting somewhere and I can't get my hands on it!
