Just wondering as I've got a cpl that were sent Jan 2nd and they haven't arrived, I have no doubt it's on the way but a few that were sent on the 8th and 9th are already here (last thurs) but one that was sent 28th dec arrived friday. Pretty new to getting cards from the states untracked ($13 extra isn't worth it in most cases) and just looking to get an idea of what my expectations should be.

Any feedback is much appreciated

Yes havent waited around 5-6 weeks before, depends like Shannon said USPS is slow but effective, UPS is quicker but useless to deal with and cant even find items in their own system let alone where the mail actually is.

Wow, that's crazy!!!

I feel a bit better now (not for you guys waiting, I don't mean that at all - that sucks, just that there is no issue with mine - touch wood)

It's just funny because Ive bought about 50 cards since xmas and all those bought before the end of the first week of Jan have arrived)

thanks for the replies - much appreciated!

I've waited up to 10 weeks before... Opened Paypal disputes and everything and then waited as long as possible and had them arrive post marked 8 - 10 weeks before hand... 4 - 6 is almost normal from some parts!

I am worried myself too.

I paid for express shipping UPS should take 5 days tops. It has now been almost two weeks.

Thats crazy Graham. I once bought a card from the UK. When it showed up after 4 months it had a stamp on the front saying 'mis-sent to ghana'. I wonder where your package got sent to?
