</span><span style="color:black"><br>
I find that I usually don't receive them - two or three packages sent from
Europe took months (!) to reach me, and another two are still missing and I've
written them off. So I don't ask people to send anything in the mail anymore,
but to courier the items, or give them to someon who's traveling. <br>
<br>
So this situation could clearly do with some improvements. Robert, what's your
qualification to turn this parastatal around? </span></p>
