Update.
Well, after digging around on the the UK's tracking site...seems once it gets here, I have to track it on USPS' site. Sigh. Something a little clearer on the tracking page would have been nice rather than several clicks down in some FAQ sort of stuff. So now that its in the hands of the USPS...well, who knows.
It went from wherever GlobalFSD is to their post, through Heathrow to New York in 18hrs. It took a day to get from NY to NJ. Then it sat there for 6hrs and then left. It left on Mar 3rd. It left New Jersey 4 DAYS ago Presumably being carried by a 70yr old mailman and a backpack walking here. Sigh. I could have driven TO New Jersey from Wisconsin, picked it up, and BACK to Wisconsin in this amount of time.
GlobalFSD sent me another package containing some more goodies on Mar 6th It made it to CHICAGO in about 16hrs and is there this morning. At least its 800mi closer than the one in New Jersey is I am guessing USPS is getting their paws on it just now "Origin Post is Preparing Shipment" as thats what USPS tracking reports. Bet it gets here before the first package does
I ordered a dual extruder (and some other goodies) for my Taz on the 5th. USPS says "Departed USPS Facility" yesterday morning from California. Think I will start an office pool on Monday to see which package arrives first. Winner gets a 3D printed USPS logo on the side of a pack mule.

my money is on the California shipment for the simple fact it says Departed USPS Facility....
snails are quicker than usps when it comes to updating their tracking information.

And, best of all the header on USPS reads....

- Expected Delivery Day: Monday, March 9, 2015
On time, my lilly white aspirin bottle. 10 days would have been this past Saturday. And its not even in the right time zone let alone the right state so no freakin way its getting here today. Even at 70mph, its still 11 hours from me.
Best I can figure, GlobalFSD did their job. They sent the package quickly. So did the Royal Mail service. They got it to New York in what appears to be about 18hrs. USPS, well, no wonder they are going bankrupt.
At this point I am glad I went for the tracking. I can't imagine how livid I would be about now wondering where my package is.

Clearly this was simply not meant to be. I give up. This has taken far longer and way more effort than I am willing to expend. Guess I will just write this off as lesson learned. Don't buy overseas.
I think I need to go to the range tonight and get some quality time with the Barrett and some steel.

lol yeah you need to be pretty precise with your addresses. I've noticed whenever I get addresses in the states to send to they're pretty lean.
Ask your neigbours if they got your parcel. Assuming you're on speaking terms with your neighbours :-)

GlobalFSD replied with my PROPER mailing address in no less than TWO emails and at least one PM here. They got my correct address and they understood it. Its the same address I have used for a decade in my paypal account and its a CONFIRMED address. USPS did NOT apparently receive my address correctly or they simply chose to make shit up and send the package to Woodstock Georgie instead of Milwaukee Wisconsin. I don't know who's fault that is but at this point I just don't care anymore because I have simply given up any hopes of actually receiving anything I ordered. I am just going to chalk it up to an $80 lesson learned. Write it off. Move on.
Myself and ALL of my neighbors are in WISCONSIN. And, yea, I am on pretty good terms with our neighbors in WISCONSIN as well as the ones in FLORIDA where my other home is. I don't know anyone in GEORGIA where the package went.
Perhaps this will make it a little clearer.... The two stars are about 800 miles apart (1287hm for you metric folks)...
Thats MORE than if someone mailed you a package and it ending up in Kirkwall, Scotland but you live in Plymouth, UK. So, its not even a near miss.
Please explain to me how to...
