I think perhaps that Canadian side being delivered by dogsled via, and arriving North Pole round Santa time ... maybe dogsled dropping Calendars off to Santa who will deliver, via flying CMP, for Christmas? Guess Canadians will let you know when precious Ozzy-Cliff mail revs up their mailboxes or comes thumping down the chimney, bringing Canadians drooling and running to lay their hands on awaited preciousness then running, calendars clutched to breast/chest, for MLU to post ... ITS HERE ITS HERE HALLELUJA MERRY BLUDDY CHRISTMAS TO ME

Hendriks Calendars were posted at the same time as the Canadian ones so I hope you get them in time to be able to use them in 2008 not just as a rememberance of the 2008 memories.

2008?? I thought they were 2009 calendars!

Cliff, it's winter... that means that once the mail bags are dropped off by clipper ship quayside in Vancouver, the Pony Express has to take them, and the horses don't make that many miles in a day through the snow and ice. If they make it as far as Karmen's place, they'll winter a little further east of her, then be here by, oh... October or so. Ah well, pretty pictures anyway! What were those pictures of again?

I can' believe this, but the calendars arrived late this afternoon Cliff!!! Amazing. Gettting anything from the Unites States takes WAY longer, even when special rates are paid for priority and faster delivery!!!!!!!!!!! I expect that mail between USA and here has to go though a lot of security thorugh customs these days and thats why so slow and long.

Obviously Australia mail gets here quicker (at least your calendars got here really fast according to what I expected!!!)

The calendars totally ROCK Cliff and Kathie ... thank you both.

Glad you like them Ma. I have heard from elsewhere that it is harder and longer to get mail from the States into Canada then here which is why I told you to start looking from 10 days on.

I do love the calendars. Very surprized and happy to have found the flowers one. Delight!!! Thank you and Kathie for that extra nice touch ...

Regards mail, I think it takes quite a while to get from the UK to here as well, but the States extra long. If I remember correctly about a priority post package envelope from the states, PRIORITY POST!!! it still took 21 or so days to get from Texas to here. Amazing huh?

Have a good day

Ma

This is because of the international date-line. The calendars are actually mailed the day before you order them.
The problem is in mailing stuff to Australia 'cause they will only ever arrive 'tomorrow'. It's a physics thing

Default PayPal

I am sorry to have to anounce that anyone paying by PayPal will have to pay $16AUD per calendar plus post from now on as PayPal are charging Just over $1.00AUD per calendar on payments made using this method. Unfortunately this is $1.00AUD I cannot afford to pay out of my pocket for each calendar ordered.

Cheers
Cliff
