WELSH RUGBY SCARF 2012 ... a travel log in pictures.

[Downunder Kilt]

Derek, et al, I'd offer up one small suggestion. Lets keep the international border crossings to a minimum. I know when I sent the scarf up to Canada it too several a few weeks to surface, and unless I'm mistaken it seems that a similar situation has occured again. I'd suggest keeping it within one country for as long as possible before sending on across the border. Anyhoo, that's just my two pence for what it's worth.

I don't really think that that the international crossings are the point rather the mode of mail. If you post a parcel with the cheapest rate it will take longer. I have had the quaich and the scarf sent to me and subsequently sent them on. On all occasions postage that can be traced has been used. The maximum number of days waiting has been 10 working days. I regularly receive parcels from all over the world and at the present time those from the USA and Great Britain take an average of 6 working days. I don't know how others sent the scarf around but for something as important as this, perhaps we can spend a couple more dollars for recorded post to ensure a little piece of mind.

BTW Derek is there a new list of recipients that you could post up on the forum? At the moment we have 2 in the USA, 1 in Canada, 2 in Germany, 1 in Oz, 4 in Great Britain
