I split an REA lot with someone, who won it. I live less than an hour from REA, they live across country. I sold a card to someone in California. So a 125 year old OJ card is in the final leg of a NJ to Cal to NJ to Cal trip. It may not have traveled that far in the first 125 years it existed!

Jay.....at least it didn't get lost in customs like that Buchner from Epps..........[YET]

Tom--I am three cards from completing the N288 set and one is the Gleason that was swallowed up in Newark customs.

Maybe its taking the slow boat to China first ...
 

I ship to the USA all the time and my stuff always gets there easily within 2 weeks. What shipping method did you pay for? Standard or economy shipping? I usually ship Canada Post Light Packet - USA for stuff under $200.00 not requiring tracking. I've never had a buyer complain about slow shipping.

Rob--I was never asked to specify.

Reminds me of FedEx Smartpost. Damn DVD I ordered once took over a month to get to me once. Damn thing was all over the country. It was within an hour of me twice only to wind up further than where it started the next day..
