As I have 4 kids living in the U.S., I will give my input. My daughter, who lives in Oregon, has sent me letters/packages which have taken 3 weeks to appear. Not sure why but there does indeed seem to be a problem. She has done tracking on some of these and for some reason, they have sat in Richmond, B.C., which is where our major airport is. Bonnie C.
