October Christmas block has arrived :)

Yay, the Christmas Block Hope made for me for the October swap has finally arrived.  This is the block that was returned to Hope in the USA, so that she could re-pack it and send it back to me here in Australia - this one was posted on 6th December, and got here on 19th December - that's 10 working days :(  much longer than it used to take.

November Swaps | Slow Post |

Why is the postal system taking so long lately?

I am still waiting for my block from Hope for the October Christmas Block Swap - it was posted from the USA on 7th November :(

I am also waiting on my QBSA November block from Brenda, another swapper in USA - that block has only recently been posted, so I hope it doesn't take too much time.

I just realised I had not posted a photo of the block I sent Brenda, so here it is

Is it just Australia & USA that seems to be taking such a long time?  Anyone else noticed their packages taking longer to get to their destinations?

Waiting on items from the other side of the world can be so very frustrating :(

Mr Fixit is waiting on a parcel from the UK - which could be here anywhere between 18th & 24th November according to eBay :)

Anyway, must be off .................. grocery shopping awaits :)

Slow post :(

I am not sure what is happening with Postal Services of late ................ it seems that everyone is experiencing delays :(

I posted my Christmas Block to Hope on 20th October, and it has just arrived 7th November - that's 15 working days from Australia to USA - NOT HAPPY JAN!

Hope has indicated that she likes it,

and that her October block to me has been posted yesterday - I hope

it doesn't take another three weeks to get to me :(

The lovely Narelle sent me some FQ Birthday Love and according to the post mark, it took 11 working days to get from QLD to SA
