I get my hopes hope every time we get
a package but NOOOOO.
It's some package my wife
has ordered for Christmas.
Fooled by the postman yet once again.

Hamish got his first b/c apparently it went straight on a plane but I think next time I will use the Pony Express b/c it will be quicker...
I checked at the PO and they said they are running at about 11 days right now. If I had known this I would have used FedEx or at least UPS. Sorry guys. Check the post marked dates though and you will see that I did mail them a long time ago!
Beannacht Dé,

Hank,
I had no doubt it was the post system causing
the delays.
All in all it is still a good system but
when they get Real busy they can't handle it.
I have seen mail arrive at the office
in a baggie with a note to let us know it had been
caught in one of their letter sorters.
The postmark was from a year and a half earlier.

Don't worry about it. I have lots of patience. LOL
One of the courier services would be fine for people living in the US, but they charge a horrendous amount for customs brokerage if you use them for cross-border shipping. A $20 shirt could wind up costing as much as $75-$100 with the added brokerage costs.

Let's all hear it for the wonderful government agency... The United States Postal Service.
Thankfully the shirts are the typical high quality and humor of Highland Tide Wear, or I might "go postal". 8)
Well done on the project Hank!!!

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe that the USPS is a private company, not a governmet operation.

US Postal Service is a government agency. There were angry tax payers complained about the government's decision to spend millions of dollars to fund a professional bike racing team that based in Europe.
