On another forum I'm on, a recipient that lives in Australia has yet to get her xmas package sent from Thailand, and she told me that a friend of hers still hasn't gotten HIS xmas present that was sent to him from his parents in Italy, so it isn't just us dealing with this - it seems that Australian customs is being quite mean to everyone this year.
But maybe that means that there is still hope of delivery?

I sent a package to Australia in December of '05; it took 3 months to get there. Goodness knows where it was during those 3 months, but at least it arrived!Originally Posted by GingersMom

So yes, that means there's still hope of delivery!!

and absolutely worth the wait!
My SS gift box was waiting on my front step this morning when I got home from the shops. A bit battered and worn but here safely at last. It has been held in quarrantine here in Australia for the last few months I guess - there was a note on it saying it was released on the 30th january. I guess I was wrong in giving up on it ever arriving.
I have already sent a pm to GingersMom, my SS, thanking her but I thought I would also post here so you could all see how she spoilt me and my furries. It will have to be a list of the gifts as I don't know how to post pictures or at the moment I can't find my camera either
So here goes - I was given 2 Harley Davidson T-shirts - I love motor bikes and Harleys in particular - one is grey and the other one is black - both fit perfectly.
- A Bad Cat Calendar for this year - it is cool
- A coffee mug from Salem, Massachusetts
- A little box of Pure Maple Candy - this is probably what made customs grab the parcel.
- A cute little blue pig key ring
- A small picture frame with kitties on it.
- 2 Cross stitch kits - can't wait to start them - along with all the other ones I have to do
- A book - The Five People You Meet in Heaven that I wanted to read last year but never got around to buying
-A little green candle
And last, but by no means least, a georgeous little hand-made angel to watch over me. The little angel was made by her late nana so I really appreciate her sending all the way over to me.
The kitties got a treat ball and some catnip mice - they are playing with them as I am typing this.
As you can see from the above list I got spoiled big time. I thank GingersMom (Betsy) from the bottom of my heart for all the wonderful gifts and the thought behind them. It really made my day today when I arrived home and found the parcel.
I hope that any other parcels that still have not arrived to their people are lucky and turn up like mine did.
YAY TCS Vibes work again
Maple candy gets stuff stuck at UK customs too.
Great gifts

Yay!
I'm so glad it finally got there! I had a feeling it was held up in customs; like Danielle said, they're really strict. Jean, they sound like wonderful gifts, and I'm sure Betsy will be sooo happy to hear that you finally got them!!
At the very least it should be sent by air; I believe that way it's only 2-4 weeks instead of 2-3 (or more!) months!!
After having a package take 3 months to get to Australia, the next time I sent one, I sent it express... it only took a week! Of course, sending it that way wasn't cheap!
