so due to the complete and utter idiocy of the cunts at Tesco Direct my camera was delivered late, a present for a friend who is going travelling and is on a plane to Argentina as I type.

The camera didn't come till 11.45 today (original delivery day was Saturday).

Has anyone ever couriered items to South America? Is it likely to just get stolen at customs, will my friend have to pay those charges that I've forgotten the name of?

Delivery nightmare stories of your own? or words of comfort for royally fucking this up....
