Where abouts are you Tosh?
I am in wet and windy Scotland where even the Postie gets through! Even if he is on his third van this week! Donald the Post turns up between 7:30 and 7:45 every morning...  :)

Malc,

Yes, that's incredibly fast!  I dropped them off on Monday on my lunch hour.  I would expect it to take 6 - 10 business days, but I guess their planes are getting faster!!

I hope everyone enjoys it!

Well over here in "The Emerald Isle" I am always surprised to get ANY post !

Honestly the service here is dismal. Even posting to my nextdoor neighbour takes about 4 days !!

Still now I have something to look forward to !!!

Still waiting for mine :-(

As Rodd mentioned, they were all mailed out from Ohio; interesting to see the different postal speeds here in Europe.

Ah, that's a little trick I play.  When I mail them out, I put a "Netherlands" return address on all the ones going overseas.  That way, if we have a mailing address problem then it gets returned there faster than it would get back to the USA.
