Big surprise

I swapped with a person in France.
We both received our coins in less than a week.
Regular mail. Excellent service.
Wish it was like this all the time.

Thanks for that "good news" story, charley716. We hear so many tales of lost or damaged packages that it makes a nice change to hear of good service by the relevant postal authorities

Wednesday May 9th, I expedited a package from Amsterdam (Netherlands) to Pittsburgh, PA (USA) and already on Monday May 14th, my swapping partner confirmed its arrival! That's 4 working days  Sometimes good old snail mail can go fast as lightning!

Unfortunately, the package intended for me took two months to reach me, in which time it got returned to sender (apparently, some mail employee   along the way reinterpreted it as a Cash-on-Delivery package, which it obviously wasn't) and it had to be expedited a second time. My swapping partner was not to blame in this. In the second attempt, the package reached me in a week (6 working days), without issues.

The same thing happened to me.

Canada Post is expensive, but they get it right more often than they get it wrong.
