Have you checked your emails (the address you sent it from?) they were sent out a few weeks ago... you weren't in my group so I'll have to check with surfanddestroy.

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.

I didn't give it a second thought since it wasn't really an issue last year, at least to me. It won't stop me from doing it again, though.
