Postal service slow ?
Do you get frustrated waiting for packages ?.
I'm expecting 5 packages, some of which were posted 10 days ago and still no sign. Although New Zealand is the other side of the world to most of you I tend to get packages from Europe in 5-7 days and the states 7-10 days.
I just wonder if the Christmas rush has started early this year.

Wow. It takes me like 2 weeks to get a package from the states and a bit over a week to get it from within Canada. Europe is 1-2 weeks.

yeah, I've noticed things slowing down recently. The one exception was a package I sent to LX_Emergency which went from canada to europe in less than a week.

I've had things go real slow and others really fast. When I sent something to Bill a few weeks ago it went a lot faster then I though and other times I've sent things to the UK (just across the pond) and they took more than a week. Erratic is pretty much the way things go.

Gary...
and I sent your package the same time as I sent a razor to Alex. He got it already and I think the cost was only a couple bucks. Yours was over $30 to send and it's still not there?
Maybe the customs guys on your end need to pick out the good stuff, first...

But I have received ~20 parcels from the States, UK, Canada, and they usually arrive in 5-15 days... I am still mad about that one too, Ilija...

The postal service slow? Does the pope wear a funny hat? Do bears crap in the woods?
I've gotten things from you in NZ faster than I've gotten them from friends and family who are /in/ the USA. I think it all depends on how much they have to move parcels around and stuff. And now it's the holiday season, it's going to get even worse.
