I don't recall that happening in Canada. However mail gets delivered so much faster here (perhaps this is where haste makes waste) for what seems to be a lot less than Canada post charges. England it is a smaller country though!Michellehttp://bluenosegirl.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-568251064562970131.post-63539269566099895822012-06-13T08:44:58.400-07:002012-06-13T08:44:58.400-07:00Wow - that's a lot of money for crap mail-forw...Wow - that's a lot of money for crap mail-forwarding. I have to admit though, that the USPS quality is not what you might remember. Apart from deliveries whenever the heck they feel like it, I frequently get the man-from-the-next-street's mail (same door number), half of my magazines never show up and they leave parcels on the doorstop for everyone to see, and in the pouring rain. It's no wonder they're going under.Expat mumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17798190669591053390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-568251064562970131.post-33398356934429073052012-06-13T07:27:33.631-07:002012-06-13T07:27:33.631-07:00Good luck with your move my dear!

Funny you are leaving that same day.<br /><br />Have a great summer, Charleston is one of my favorite places in the US - warm beaches and cocktails - nothing better. If you end up somewhere around San Francisco, you have a friend:) We will be back there either in November or next spring. Things are a bit up in the air right now...... <br /><br />Keep blogging, I love reading.Janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08686940439682763552noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-568251064562970131.post-77069631951722081942012-06-13T07:21:58.015-07:002012-06-13T07:21:58.015-07:00I feel your pain!

They are only cards...nothing big (in size) but somehow they disappeared into thin air. Horrible system here!Ashley @Hop Skip Jumphttp://www.hopskipjumpash.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-568251064562970131.post-11768167838924591982012-06-13T05:45:56.066-07:002012-06-13T05:45:56.066-07:00I think you have too rosy of memories of USPS.

Our mail route is totally unreliable - to the point that I had to give up on NetFlix since others got to see the movies, but not me.Jan Klierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09303300161172988861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-568251064562970131.post-7321172378339097662012-06-13T04:35:08.422-07:002012-06-13T04:35:08.422-07:00That is so weird.

I don't remember paying that when we moved back to the US but we forwarded everything to my in-laws in Newcastle and they send it on to us, so maybe that is £250 is completely absurd!andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15239994311662607918noreply@blogger.com
