I am planning on sending mine next week. I just need to get some candy chews that a company here makes. They are out of this world!! I love the peanutbutter ones, but the caramel and peppermint are good too.
Hmmm. Last week, I ordered stuff from two U.S. suppliers (I'm on the Continent), and specified "surface mail". One told me they could deliver within 10 days, and charged $1 for shipping, and I got the goods 8 days later. The other charged $2.95, and gave a delivery period of 1 - 3 weeks. I got the delivery 5 days later. My SS package (surface) cost €32 (USD 40.93) to send by "surface" mail, but there was no cheaper option available.Originally Posted by icklemiss21
The time difference for surface mail and airmail from Canada to the UK is 3-5 weeks (airmail takes 1-2 weeks and surface 4-6 weeks)
In Europe, between countries, it is basically non existent so the post office doesn't bother
What really gets me is that the card I sent you earlier took longer than the package.Originally Posted by LokisMum
I just made sure when I packed mine up, even though it was only going to the US, that everything was in gift boxes and bags, so that if Customs wanted to open them they could. I must say I was amazed at how quickly it got to Susie - 1 week! My gift from Jana arrived completely intact, with gift wrap in place! I think a lot depends on the Customs agent!
