Happy Holidays!

They were sent Dec. 16th. and London is not that far (driving) from my teeny town across the lake from you, so I'm hoping they should be there.

Still no charts.

Really?

If they don't show up, I'll replace them.

Still no charts. My parents will let me know if they arrive next week.

I just checked with my parents, and no packages have arrived for me. I think the charts got lost in the Christmas mail craziness.

Oh, how sad.

I'm going to try and find my receipt with the tracking number on it today to call Monday, and if I can't, I'll be sending out new charts to Trylla so we can keep the exchange going.

Sorry all.

Meant to add as well: If they were just slowed up because of the holiday and do end up showing up after I send out the new pack, then just pay it forward and keep that one going as well. My charts really need a good clean out anyway.

Can I get added to the end of the list or is it too late? I didn't see a list posted anywhere but I probably missed it... Thanks!

Good grief Charlie Brown......I think the postal system has a vendetta against our forum. We seem to have a large amount of packages go missing. What have we done to upset the Posties???????

Today/tomorrow, I'll get the charts together and get them sent off to Trylla. Prince the Lhasa promises not to bark at the mail truck until the charts get there.

Awesome!! Thanks DraconicWench. I'll keep an eye out for them. Fingers crossed they make it to me this time.

If it doesn't, I might scream.

You might want to scream. No charts and it's been at least 2 weeks.

Oh my gosh, are you serious? I'm so sorry everyone. I'll do what I can to track down what happened to this package. I feel horrible.

If the postal service cannot tell me what has gone one with this package, I'll send a third, but at that point, I'll be almost $40 in postage (I could have almost bought Trylla a brand new Dimensions Gold kit). If I have to send a third, there will be a wait because I'm sorting my charts from magazines at the moment, but I will and will post here the day it is taken to the post office.

Oh my gosh! What is wrong with our postal service? I am so sorry Draconic Wench! Is there anything I can do to help?

I'm very much hoping the post office can find the 2nd package! I'd hate for you to shell out any more money.

I can send out a new package if you want. I have plenty of charts that need a new home. Let me know and I'll get them out on Tuesday.

No talenaya, but that's a very sweet offer. I'm going through my magazines and charts tomorrow and probably Monday. I can think of at least half a dozen charts that I own the people down the line will love.

I was told, when I sent the first, that even when insuring it, they could not track it once it crossed the border. I assume (and still do) that they couldn't track it due to the holidays since they are swamped that time of year.

Monday will be the day that they either track it or I send it a different way. I'm wondering if the problem isn't more the type of packaging (the type you ship paper products in) and if this one got lost, I'll try using one of those small boxes.

I'm just really happy that I bought a bunch of lots of magazines on e-bay before this started.
