I was told it would take 10 days or so to get there, but I know last year it got there sooner than that. I sent from the US to England. I got the same answer this year, but the cost was double what it was last year. :mad: I never understood why it took so long something from Canada to get to the states?
I know eh, I think it's just a big rip off now a days. I couldn't believe how expensive it was to mail something either. It's complete shite isn't it.

OH MY GOD!! The postage cost MORE than I spent on the gift, and I went a little over. And they make you declare what is in the package and the cost. Some surprise, huh? Hopefully my SS doesn't look at the customs form. :(

Yeah, it is crazy how much shipping is. Luckily mine wasn't more than the pressie. But for my friend's birthday, I got her a Lost doll (Charlie) and some candy. I mailed it to Prague and it cost $50!!! That was way more than the $15 doll. Oh well, she really loved it though. Stupid shipping rates.

It is a good thing I like Christmas and love to give, otherwise I might have said nevermind. I think next year I buy online and make them ship it, esp if I have to send out of the country.

Good idea... shit why didn't I think of that advice to give to people earlier in the thread?
Last year I bought a really big heavy book and I think it was about 20euro or something. I think the cut off date here for mailing to the states is the 1st or something... then it goes down for Europe and again for England and again for national.

me too...haha....oh well, i figured it would be and it's worth it - this is fun!
i was thinking the same thing about the customs form....haha.
i posted mine today... yep postage was semi-high... i suppose postage to EuroausnewcanadaLand might be these days
oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.
I would not be surprised if my present doesn't pass customs...the border patrol might open it up and start drinking!!! i declared that i had 9 glasses in my package. 8 of them were filled! we'll see!

You are too funny. As you know, I did not have you, and you know who I had. Let's just say I had to do a bit of research on this person because I don't know them all that well, and that made it more fun and challenging.

Only six listed on page one. I sure hope that you are joking about what you sent as it won't be too tough to come to a conclusion as to who sent them their gift if they read this thread. Ooops!

I like the idea of booze in a present though.. yummy

Na HA! Doin' a bit o research, eh? I sent a card along with it with my first name. Which shouldn't be a stretch. And hey if border patrol up in Alex Bay NY has trouble with package, I'm sure they won't dump it...they'll just enjoy their coup later that evening and I'll get arrested for lying on my package description and illegal transportation of christmas cheer.
I love to turn you on

Last year I left off some of the stuff in the box, because I wanted it to be a surprise when my SS opened their box. I have faith in the pride and sincerity of the postal service to just deliver the goods. If it ain't ticking to just let it get to the destination.
