Yes, international packages can drive you nuts. I just received a small,
padded envelope item (a single filter) and a large parcel on the same day-
yesterday. One, the small envelope was mailed from Switzerland on April 2nd (
21 days
in transit ) the other was mailed from Germany on the 14th- (9 days).
But all this is still better than the luck I've had with mail sent/received
within the U.S. A cross-country ( 3,000 miles) letter to me took NINETY DAYS to
arrive, and no explanation. Another letter I sent, with a payment inside,
approx 800 miles away, never showed. I then re-sent the payment, THAT one
arrived
(but still took 9 days), then the first one arrived back to me SIX WEEKS
later stamped "NO Such Address" even though the addres WAS correct, written by
me
exactly the same as the one that did arrive there.
Go figure indeed.

It all makes you wonder. If Iwert posted the parcel when he said he expected
to (this past Friday), it made it from Belgium to Atlanta in four days,
because it was in my hands by noon Tuesday. Even if he sent if off a day or
two
earlier, that's still borderline remarkable. Of course, a package I mailed to
him a month ago is still God knows where, possibly bobbing about in the middle
of the Atlantic Ocean. Go figure.
