Could be. Most upgrade notices I receive are really second or third class mail, the kind used for all those circulars that kill more trees than Brazilian foresters. There might be a problem with them crossing the border. If so, it wouldn't hurt to contact whoever you KNOW has an upgrade out directly yourself and explain the problem. They might not be aware of the problem (most of that class of mail doesn't get returned at all if undelivered) or they might be but they'll still upgrade you. I never depend on upgrade notices–I read the computer press and if I hear that something's been upgraded, I call or fax right away. In the case of a few companies (Calera comes readily to mind, HP as well) that's the only way I got the latest software.
