Is anyone on the US side of the Atlantic still waiting for packages from the UK?
My mother sent me four parcels from Thurso, two in November and two in December. One was mailed on the 17th of November and it arrived here in VA on the 27th of December, along with the second one which was mailed on the 24th of November. Both parcels cost her 22 pounds each to mail and that was supposed to be air mail. I got the one that she mailed on the 13th of December, it came in 10 days. So now I am still waiting on the last one, mailed on the 8th of December amd still no sign. You would think that spending almost 20 pounds per parcel to mail, it would arrive in decent time. I have never had parcels be this late in the 24 years I've been over here.
I just wanted to rant a little and ask if anyone else here in the US is having similar issues? At least I got the package with the Rich Tea and Digestives in it, now i can have something to go with my tea!
