Yeah, here's the email I got for the IDE-CF adapter. See, these people care:

And here's the message from the 128 MB CF card seller:

Thank you for shopping with us.Your item has been shipped by 
airmail(regular mail) from singpost to destinations.(Normally it takes 
12-22 business days to USA Canada UK Australia.For other Countries of the 
world it will take between 10-45 days to arrive.)We hope it arrive on time 
but since this is an international delivery,shipping time will be highly 
depended on the courier company and local customs/duties.International 
shipping requires more complicated shipping procedures (such as both 
countries customs,transit stations etc.),it will probably take longer time 
for your items to arrive at the final destination.Please be patient, Thank 
you for your understanding on this matter.
Hope you satisfy with our 
total service,and we look forward to the good feedback with overall full 
detailed ratings after you get the item.It's important for us to drive more 
potential customers.If you have any questions/comments,please feel free to
