[Luv2Roam]

Just a bump. All are in the mail, with a few more to be rec'd.
Any packages rec'd today?
One has to go across the pond. Hopefully it will arrive next week.

 

[TINKTWINS]

Not yesterday for me, but thats ok I know its on its way

 

[TINKTWINS]

Mine came this morning, Thanks Eva!

I got a box filled with tea bags.

28 Bigelow Constant Comment tea bags

20 Celestial Seasonings Fast Lane black tea

20 Perfectly Pear white tea

20 Decaf Mint Green tea

20 Raspberry Gardens Green Tea

there were only a few tea bag casualties but thats ok!

Im gonna try the Fast Lane not, because it claims to be HIGH ENERGY, and I need some of that to get me going on the housework

Thanks again!

Christine

If I have figured correct, I show two waiting for theirs:
* lilsweetpea
* Spooky Sarah

Please let me know if I am incorrect! And hopefully those two packages will soon arrive.

Oh I am glad it arrived OK. Like I said, my husband packed it for me and decided to save on space and such to take the bags out of the packaging. I hope you like my tea choices. Sounds like the FAST LANE works ok.

Do I need to replace any of the tea?? You're very welcome, it was fun looking for some different teas for you.

No replacements needed, I'm good. It all smelled so nice

HA HA FUNNY! I was thinking of you this morning wondering if you were drinking more of your coffee/tea stash! and if you were enjoying it. Thats funny. Thanks for posting that, I know Nancy wanted to see it! Have a good night

 

[Meriweather]

Thanks for posting it
How is it?

 

[spookysarah]

Still patiently waiting here. I'm so excited with anticipation.

 

[Luv2Roam]

Saving the best for last?
Thanks so much for your patience. And hopefully soon it will finally arrive!

 

[Evita_W]

I do not know why it is taking so long either!! I will have to check back on my Delievery stuff and see where it is. (The conformation is in the car, so I will have to check with Chris when he gets home.)

We don't ususally have to much trouble sending stuff overseas....

 

[Luv2Roam]

You just never know. Seems like the more you pay, the slower the overseas postage service is. I would guess no less than a week. But it has been much longer than that.
Once I had a large pin exchange to the UK that I was at the point of having figuring it was lost when it finally reached it's destination. It was just under 2 months. The only thing I could figure is it went by boat rather than air, even though I always mail by air with overseas.
Hopefully soon it will arrive. But keep us posted on whatever you find out.

 

[spookysarah]

Woohoooooo! The postie brought me a package! Thank you so much Eva for the lovely teas. Here is what was inside -

Bigelow French Vanilla - this is the one I have tried so far and it is delicious. They are also individually wrapped which is great.
Celestial India Spiced Chai
Celestial Honey Vanilla White Tea Chai
Celestial Peppermint
Celestial Perfectly Pear

The outer box appears to have popped opened, perhaps that was why it took so long? Just glad they got here in the end.

Thanks again we will have fun trying them all.

Sarah and family x
