Mailing to Canada is a challenge at times. Contracts need to take this into consideration when drafted. I find sometimes as many as 50% of the items I ship to parts of Canada don't make it or don't make it in one piece. But for not one of them to make it from the initial mailing, I would have to assume it was a postage issue. I feel confident that anyone in charge of contracts for next year will fix that problem.

US First Class Postage will not be delivered. I'm just surprised that the ballots weren't delivered postage due or returned to sender for insufficient postage. On the other hand, even having paid the "International Rate", my letter still has not reached its destination, and we are now on the 14th day since it was mailed.

I still have not received my ballots that were mailed out. Only got the ones that were sent special delivery. The ballot company has to put on extra postage for the mail to be delivered outside of the United States or it will never get here .................les ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2007.
