Ok then Mark, how long should it take for my international parcel to be delivered to me if I order it today?

Then it seems there may be some truth to this statement then. I am glad for the Post Office if this is the case.

I got my birthday card from my gran in the UK yesterday!

It was sent in June... To put it into perspective my mom in Zim has already got her Xmas card, yip, the ZIMBABWEAN postal service is faster than SAPO.

Got a collect slip (first and only notification, registered for e-updates as well) in the postbox on Monday, went to collect yesterday, after the usual 45 minutes of watching the dust settle in the post office, was told it had been sent back.............

International orders are pretty quick. Ordered some small items off rimmerbros.com (UK) in September and got the items around 3 weeks later. Standard registered mail.
