At last I got some mail:
1. Star Wars Roleplaying Game Saga Edition Core Rulebook by Wizards of the Coast arrived!
2. Issue #147 of Dungeon by Paizo arrived!
Star Wars Roleplaying Game Saga Edition Core Rulebook by Wizards of the Coast
I guess issue #146 got lost in the mail. Remember 2007-04-29 Dungeon Magazine Subscription – it says that issue #147 was shipped 2007-04-24. I’m no longer used to such time frames. I live on the Internet!!

Sadly, Robin’s package still hasn’t arrived. I think I’m going to pick on the UK postal service next... 😈

No worries. My current assumptions are:
1. UK Post is slow
2. Swiss customs decided the package was too heavy and is going to ask me for weight based sales tax; the paperwork for that is slow
3. Mislabeled package and now the Swiss post is trying to figure out where I live; this service works very well, but it’s slow, too
The package never arrived. 😢
This is my first occurence of a package being lost in the mail ever since I spent two years in Bangkok from 1989 - 1991.

Errm... OK. I’ll go shout at the Post Office here in the UK. It should have been with you WEEKS ago.
Sigh.

Still waiting for a reply from the Post Office. If I don’t hear anything by the middle of next week, I’ll put together another bundle of goodies for you and right those adventures off. 🙁

Did you get my emails on the subject? Basically the Swiss post guys told me that they need some kind of bar code to investigate where the package is. If you have such a thing on your receipt, I could pass it on to the Swiss guys – if the package is stuck in customs or some such, that would help us find out.

Where did you send the mails? robin@greywulf.net has been very flakey of late. greywulf@gmail.com is better. I have a receipt for the postage but no barcode - I’ll go to my local Post Office on Monday and see what I can get from there.

Hm. Perhaps you can just send me a scan of the receipt? I’ll forward to their customer service agent and see what that gives me... As for the email, it turns out that I have something a silverscreenphotography.co.uk address in my contacs... Will change that. 😄

Ah, ok. I thought I’d set gmail to collect from that email account automatically. Obviously not, hence the lack or reply from me. Sorry ’bout that! I’ll fix that now. Intermittent net connection is far from good right now.
Meantime, I’ve been to the Post Office here in the UK and they’re tracking the package for me. I’ll send you a scan of the receipt asap.

Note that I was extremely unhappy with Gmail’s implementation of Email collecting. It didn’t work fast enough, so over time the remote system would collect a huge backload of Emails. I get too much spam – thus my mail feeds are throttled by Gmail’s fetching. I had to use active forwarding (using mail alias files or `~/.forward` files on the other machines to funnel all my mail into my Gmail account.
