Was probably down to Royal bleedin Mail!!
Shipping was around that time they had a strike last year before christmas!!!!
I have never had any problems with getting stuff from any of the former Soviet countries.
The main trouble in the UK is that it gets to the local sorting office, the poor old postie is given 45 mins to do a 20 mile round on foot and they forget/dont have time to fill out and post you the stupid ticket. Sometimes it helps to catch the postie and get on good terms.
I have had real trouble if stuff is shipped airmail and then on to people like FEDEX and UPS. It arrives sure enough but with the most fantastic charges you can imagine.
The postal system in the UK is in tatters and the courier type companys are more than willing to take up the slack, at vast profit.
Cheers

I am sorry Matthew, but I have one more bad news: my Dell PowerEdge does not recognize anymore it's internal RAID array, can't boot. I can't figure out what happened. Setup options don't show a possibility to use RAID, just SCSI On/Off. Probably it is easier to use ePay...
Life never give up does it!!
Yep, your BIOS is not seeing the RAID controller. Power Edge sys. can be a real unlovin' muttha' ......you pick the pejorative invective!!! 😡
Sometimes pulling the RAID card out of the bus slot; reboot as far as the sys. will allow. Power down, reinsert the card and cables; reboot and hold thy breath!
Does the raid controller card have a "coin" cell battery on it? If so there is also a rest button/jumper on that card to force a cold rom boot of the raid controller chips. Unless there are some exotic password settings you need to salvage you may jwant to just pull that battery out for 5-30 minutes. Then reinstall it or a fresh one... and pray.
These can and often do cause these sort of problems.
Sometimes the old live distro disc trick will find the hardware and toggle the BIOS (both Motherboard and RAID rom).
You may wish to try using a fresh sidux live dvd or if you are satisfied with xfce (i am) a live cd image. I have recovered dell and older Compaq server raid array configs. by simply allowing the hdwe. detection on the live dist. to find it. I see a lot of Debian stuff on your forums.... you may want to have a look at sidux.org.
Sorry all the other persons here...Linux folk tend to stick together!!
Now i'll sit down and zip my mouth shut.
And drink a glass of red wine while holding vigil in hope Anatoliy has luck with him, we know he has the knowledge-skill part down COLD!!!!😉

Sellers from Baltic states have the advantage of their shipments not having to go through customs inspection if sent inside the EU plus they offer very reasonable, if a tad slow, shipping. I've seen huge differences in shipping on for sellers from other former USSR republics (up to factor of 3) and this shipping cost is usually right up there with the price of tubes 🙁
How much do you charge for shipping ? Say 5-10 noval tubes, that appears to be the median for auctions on eBay.
anyone happen to know if there is a russian equivalent to the ecl 86 aka 6gw8?
this is a 12 ax7 and el 84 combined in one tube.

I don't think so. There is 6F3P, the equivalent of ECL82 which is also often used in audio, and few others that aren't regarded as highly for audio ('80, '84, '85) but no '86.
Generally, 6F3P can be regarded as the equivalent of 12ax7 (6n2p) and el84 (6p14p) because 6F3P is a triode-pentode tube. It is rather wide spread among amps.
