Ha, I think you could downgrade the above comment to "even a slow rate of speed..."

That sucks. Hopefully you'll get them tomorrow, safe and sound. I love my dutch mailman, when he delivers something he there pretty much at 9am on the dot.
Now the French mailman is another matter all together... He doesn't bother to come up to the apartment to see if anyone is home, and sticks a note in the mailbox saying "you were absent, please pick up your package at the post office". The thing with the french post system is you can only go pick it up 3-4 days later, no earlier... Once I was waiting for a package with tracking, and the lazy mailman decided that I had refused the package and it got sent back to the grower...

I love this introduction to different cultures. From what I've read so far, the NLs is where it's at!  |

What do we do when we get them? Post here, or set up our own thread in the project forum? |
