We were all sick around Christmas, that's my excuse & I'm sticking to it!!! I didn't think there was anything good about that, until I realised it was a great excuse! I was amazed that I managed to get 4 parcels out, that's amazing for someone who was as sick as a dog! When I went to the post office to mail 2 of the parcels, my son threw up all over himself & his stroller, that was a real highlight for us!!!

I sent packages by airmail about 5 days after the official last day; and they got there very quickly indeed - easily in time for Christmas. Probably helps being in NJ as they pretty much get put on a plane that day or the next as far as I can tell.

I ordered an old out of print book from the UK. It was posted Nov 21 AIRMAIL and it finally turned up on Monday. 51 days for an airmail parcel is taking the piss.
