At least with a brick and mortar store you actually know what you’re getting*
*to a degree. You still won’t know how well it will actually hold up in the real world - but you can at least get an idea of it’s construction (Materials/stitching and so on) that you don’t/can’t get via an online shop (especially with all the bogus reviews nowadays)






Looks like you’re using ups. Try a 3rd party tracker. (Sorry i can’t remember the name of one - its been years since I had something shipped from out of country.)
I’ve had success in the past tracking that way.
