Completely missed out on this set. I hope someone out there will have an extra set to spare for me to purchase or trade for.

Got you covered!

Just some images of the assembly line.

We hope to have all orders of 20 mailed tomorrow (Friday). Then we can finish packing up the other orders on the weekend to mail on Monday. Packaging 740 sets and 82 orders in one day is impossible, so it'll take us a couple of days.

Hehe, following the tracking on mine. I looked on the Canadian Postal Service Site this morning and read this message:

"International shipment has arrived in a foreign country "

Funny to read the UK being referred to as foreign, but at least it is in the country. I just wonder how long Customs will hold on to it

I honestly do not believe this. The postman just delivered my parcel of Classic Fairy Tale goodies just a few minutes ago. So that's four days, including a Sunday, for a parcel to ship from Canada to here in the UK. What has put an even bigger smile on my face is....

....no Customs charges

Will post results later today. It will take me a couple of hours to recover from the shock of them being here so soon

I actually buy more from Canada than USA now. Probably putting the kiss of death on it now but I never seem to get customs charges whereas USA they seem to be charging for every little package.

Tony has kindly agreed to send my five sets to the hotel I am stopping at in Las Vegas but that's more because I knew I would be away when they arrived here and I don't trust Royal Mail to keep them safe until I get back .

I have found that the packages sent out by Tony and Elaine always seem to get here quickly which is amazing as they have always gone regular airmail in the past. This time around, I opted for the tracked option as I was concerned about the idea of the 20 Card Metal Parallel Set going missing if something happened to the parcel en route. I had expected it to be sat in Customs for a while. Fortunately, the way the Customs label had been filled out meant it just whizzed through unhindered :-) Oh yes, I should mention I am one the fortunate people with a 20 pack order.

I have now opened the packs and will get everything scanned in soon(ish). I did get lucky and pulled one of the lenticular cards but not a redemption for the Little Match Girl card, so I will probably be looking to trade for one of those.
