Re: [lace] Lace Magazine
HI Sue, We are at the hands of the postal service when it comes to our magazines. I am not sure how it works out side of the US. Here magazines are considered 3 class mail so it sits in a bin there is room on the planes. First class has priority. Once it gets to the destination it can go through customs and they sit there until customs clears them. I have mailed magazines to Brazil and it has taken 4 months to get there. I think I could of walked there faster. To mail a magazine first class for overseas is at least 3 times the cost of the subscription. I wish I could give you a good suggestion but I have none.

Say, for the sake of argument that it was posted on the last day of April, it has taken two and a half months to get here!! I was on the point of e-mailing the Hollies to say I had been missed off the list. It seems to me that they are using the cheapest postage rate they can, in an effort to reduce costs. It was my understanding that there is now no sea mail between NZ and UK, but there must some really old airplanes on this route if it is taking so long!!! The thing that alerted me to the fact that my mag had not yet arrived was that I was aware that subs were due and I usually paid mine by the end of June. Hopefully they won't take us off the mailing list just yet!!

Re: [lace] Lace Magazine
It has always amazed me that when the Aussie was on his way over to join me he was able to send a package to me and track it from Adelaide to London but I couldn't do the same because apparantly, it's not possible to track mail in Australia (Royal Mail's explanation ... not mine). I tried to argue but have given up.

RE: [lace] Lace Magazine
Tracking a parcel going to a different country means you do the tracking on that country's postal website. I have had to explain the same thing to companies in the US when they say they won't ship to Canada, because they can't track it once it hits the border. Duh, I can, because I track it on the Canadian side, not the US sideWhen I ship something to the US that is trackable, I have to track it on the USPS website once it hits the border. Now that most mail services have websites, makes it a lot easier to track stuff.

Re: [lace] tracking (lace) mail
Hello everyone Just a note, when considering your postal lace mail. Tracking only works if you buy a postage product with a tracking service :) It sounds simple, but check the fine print, even priority mails. If the parcel is sent via courier out of a country, then into the recipient country's postal system, you might not be able to track. Another issue, if the item isn't scanned at a given drop point, you won't see that either. yada yada...
