I'm sorry to rain on your parade, but the postal service in nearly every part of the world is now like 99.9% accurate, the only reason why an envelope wouldn't make it to the destination would be if you made some catastrophic mistake in the address (and even then, the letter would probably still make it).
This is not 1939, this is 2009, there is no reason to blame the postal service. If your payment hasn't arrived it is likely because you haven't sent it, and any excuses should not be tolerated.......
Also, oldpink, I know you're probably busy with this nonsense, but when you have the time, could you please let me know if the seeds I sent arrived (I sent them over 2 weeks ago)? It's not really important, but I was short on packaging and just wanted to make sure they made it there safe.
No offense...but I am going to LAUGH SO HARD...when your seeds get lost/never show....not because I wish that on anyone, and it would truly be a shame for them to not make it....but purely because of the irony it would present as a result of this very post.....
Ironic situations can be VERY humorous....
