Last month when I called to complain about USPS taking 6 days to deliver Priority mail, I was told that Priority Mail takes 4-6 days. Their website clearly states 2-3 Days. Seems like we pay extra for nothing. Although I do admit, first class is almost as expensive.

Maybe you should wait to see what next month's SP likes???
But I'm sure whatever you find it will be special!

Ohh, ohh, my birthday is in aug in just 6 days, maybe it's me. My zip code is really wimpy it's only 12, not a big strong zip like 27 or anything

:XD:

I've got stuff in my SP bag that I bought months ago. Generic things that all quilters like like FQ, pins, books, magazines...then I try to tailor it to my individual SP's likes. It makes it a whole lot easier to stay under $10 if I can find the stuff really cheap, plus adds to the fun for me as I can shop my stash.

Just a PS again, Tues Am had a bunch of quilty stuff in their last flyer and even tho we didn't get it, they still had a bunch of stuff there by the time we checked 'em out. Check their books, too, they usually have a couple of quilt books there too. At least the closest one to us does.

I could see on the tracking that it hadn't been scanned into Canada yet, then lo and behold one day there was an arrival scan at customs. Only took 3 days from there.
