So I'm really confused by the USPS tracking for this:

Seems to be doing loops round Jamaica NY when I thought it was in London previously. How annoying :(

Oh, it bounced off Heathrow. Possibly not the correct documentation or someone misread the label.

I had a parcel from PCBWay once get to Heathrow, bounce back to China then get shipped to Germany, The Netherlands and Heathrow again before going on for delivery. That was well travelled.
Intro retro computers since before they were retro...

Added code to the MiNT kernel (still there the last time I checked) + put together MiNTOS.

Honestly, I don't know what it's doing.

It never shows as arrived in London, so I'm not sure if the 'departed London' message means it's leaving to London or what. It now just says 'moving through network'.

OK, so I have heard from Jurgen and the SCCC card is off for now due to some health issues he has. Hopefully he'll be better and can get back to things, however for now I'd suggest nobody orders from him until he's sorted out.

"Departed London" actually means that it passed through Heathrow and is out the other side.

"Moving through network" is not great as that means they're not sure where it is or going. It's parcel purgatory. Maybe it'll pop up in Sydney and then do a World tour?
