Hi Gang and Byard, this is a great day for me and and the international post and mail systems. The words 'snail mail' have a new meaning.
I renewed my VFB membership in February 02. Byard send out the package in Feb, 6th. I didn't informed him that it did not arrive on time. I do not wanted him that he sends out a second one. The package finally made it to Germany. 5 months and 15 days. Wow... Unfortunately it does not carry much of postal stamps on it. So I cannot see where it was delayed. NH out is 6th of Feb. A sticker from Frankfurt Airport customs is on it, therefor I asume it went by airmail. Between Frankfurt and Cologne are some hills. I always thought that they use trucks to carry the goods. But even snails must be faster on these 100 miles. Paul M., I guess this tops your experience with the canadian post. We had a little earthquake this morning, very unusual in this area. Probaly this awoke some sleepy post clerks sleeping on my package. BTW: Content of the parcel is really great, love it. Thanks a lot to Byard. And now a have a really nice tyed awesome fly.. Regards Rene P.S. is a post office on Mars? Probably the parcell went into the wrong shuttle... <GGG>
