Is anybody else having this problem? It seems that whenever I mail packages to France or Belgium that the mail is EXTRAORDINARILY slow. If it was just one package I could understand, but right now I have 4 swaps that I mailed back in January or early Feburary that still haven't gotten to their destinations! One I have promised to resend because the coins are inexpensive and I have extras - I can't do this with all of them. What's up with the mail?? The swaps I have completed - some with the same people - took way too long to get there. Any thoughts on some way to make this work better?

I sent a package to France within the last month or month and a half, and shipping time was about what you'd expect.

In last few months I have sent 6 letters to France. All normal post.
2 of them arrived in 2 days (how on earth!?!) 3 of them within a week and one took 3 weeks. All arrived, but what caused difference in time don't know.
All arrived unopened and with no problems...

Hello,
to France usually from Albania reaches in 3 days, actually from all the countries worldwide I have swapped/sold coins. France, Switzerland and Belgium has the fastest post services. I use only registered mail.
If you mailed coins on January and didn't arrive yet, I am sorry to say, but they are definitely lost. Usually the time frame to deliver a letter or package shouldn't take more than 30 days...

Part of the reason I posted this thread was because it takes so long, and I only received his coins 3-4 days ago. They were mailed at approximately the same time
