    Default 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.

    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...

    Anything I've sent to Canada from the states or received from Canada has always taken 3 weeks plus. Within the U.S priority mail is always 2-3 days within the lower 48.

    On a good note it looks like the abrasive powder finally arrived so I'll be able to share my joy with a few people around here There is a note about a parcel from the mailman and I'm not expecting any other packages.
