International shipping is a funny thing.

So, I ordered something from Apple last week. Shipped via fedex. Yesterday it was here, or so says their tracking system. Apparently they had to fly it to Indianapolis for it to be released by customs. Today it's back, and being delivered.

Clearly this should be a lesson in something, but I'm at a loss as to what.
