Postal Delays

[rachele703]

Hi,

I am waiting for a parcel to be delivered from the UK. It was posted 2 weeks ago and is insured. The contents are all gifts (for my birthday!)

I was wondering if anyone knew how long things can be stuck in customs for and how often parcels 'went missing' never to be seen again.

When should I really start to worry?

Thanks

Christmas.

Seriously, 2-3 weeks is not uncommon. How were they sent?

Ok, that's great - as long as there's no immediate panic...

They were sent by registered post from England. Fingers crossed it'll arrive this week.

I have sent a lot of registered parcels from Canada. Some have arrived in as little as 5 days. A few of them took 6 weeks.

Nothing in your profile for your b/day. Still enjoy.

BTW, was it sent by airmail? No joke, I had it so often, that people mailed me something by normal post which arrived after 2-3 months.
