Thumbs up for the Post Office!

I've been waiting for two parcels that were posted, one from Canada and one from France, at the beginning of July. To be honest, I would have asked them not to use the post if I had known they were going to do so. When there was no sign of them in 6 weeks (they were supposed to take two) I started to panic; tried the tracking numbers which eventually said they had come through the airport, then nothing. But today - four months later - I received the notification and there they both were, down at my local. The one was very battered and stuck with tape, but the contents were inside. So - hurrah for SAPO!! I've taken off a star for condition of parcel and also - really? Four months?!! But they came, and I am very grateful.
