Penny, When we send packages from here; they can go first class if it is 4 pounds or less, and the rest go priority mail. So it shouldn't take more that 2 weeks; unless the post office screws up there---which it has when I sent my sister something .

It shouldn't take more than 2 weeks to get to Australia. Canada is a different story. Their customs people are a pain in the butt at times.
As long as you just put less than $20 on the Customs Form, the package should have no problem getting to where it's going. BUT, and I say BUT...with the holiday mail now, it can take a bit longer. Why? No one knows....

So far, I have 26 people who have not rec'd anything as of yet. Of those 26 people, I have 4 that I have not heard from.
I'm at a loss as to what to do.
Most I am giving the benefit of the doubt due to the mail system because some are coming from outside the US, so it could take a bit longer.
But, then again....I do/did have some people that mailed late. Some informed me of "life's issues" as to mailing late which I excused, but there are others that cannot give me a good enough excuse except they were sick.
So, what do we do?? Do we wait and keep our fingers crossed?
I've already had 5 packages sent out because of people pulling out at the last minute, so those people are taken care of, but don't know what to do about the others.
I guess I'll have to ask for the Delivery Confirmation numbers so I can check myself.

I am sorry that you are having to deal with this. If I am one of the 4 that may not receive a SS gift, do not worry about it. Yes, I would be disappointed, but it would not discourage me from participating again. We are all adults and everyone needs to be responsible. You have done everything possible. This is suppose to be fun and not stressful. This is the season for giving and I gave and I am just fine with that.
