I hope it's just delayed because of the busy holiday. Good Luck.

If they were all like you we'd all be better off! My SIL is a carrier and tells all sorts of stories on what gets shipped and where she has to deliver and hide them then proceed to write notes. She even had to deliver a beach ball, unwrapped, postage stamped on it and writing saying.."Hope you're having a Ball!" ha! They deliver tires, bumpers and so on, said as long as they pay their postage they have to deliver it! ;-)

Something like that happened to me once, with my very first quilt. It was a weiner dog quilt, I made for myself & decided to give it to my sister. I sent it so it would get there by her birthday, Jan. 2nd. I used the machine at the PO - when deciding which service to use, I opted for ground delivery, which was a little bit cheaper. I was thinking that everything in & out of Alaska has to go by air anyway.... WRONG! About 4 weeks later, it arrived. I found out too late that things actually go by barge (i.e. "slow boat") if you send it surface. Boy did I learn a valuable lesson - DON'T BE CHEAP!

Thanks for the warning. I am mailing mine tomorrow come hell or high waters. I will insure it and get delivery confirmation both. I am sending it First Class Priority mail to my son in Scicily for Christmas. That is the only way I can send mail to hime.

Donna good luck. I'm sure he'll get it safe and sound. Send it on Angels wings and a prayer...it'll get there!

That's what I think also, be patient and think positive.

Such a terrible thing to happen. But, it still may show up. Here's to hoping.

My family knows not to mail packages to my house w/out letting me know - I want to make sure it doesn't stay on the front porch any longer than necessary and i'm not real good at getting the mail on a daily basis :roll:

I know the anxiousness of mailing a quilt - i mailed one to my sister after thanksgiving and i was anxious waiting to hear from her. I knew my mom was visiting her, so there was going to be someone there to get it before she got home from work.

I work in a school - I often will have stuff mailed to the bldg - but this secretary is such not a nice person and I avoid her at all costs!
