Gemme and Jennifer ....... I'm not commenting on whether or not the project is completed and mailed out in 'good time', I'm commenting on the postal system outside of the USA. Perhaps people not from the continental USA require an earlier date or something due to the length of time necessary for it to go through the processing or perhaps the participant needs to consider the cost of an express service before signing up (I've always considered this the few times I've participated).

One of the reasons I choose to only participate with a project during the short window of time I'm in Canada is not only the length of time the mail takes to get to where ever its going but that mail frequently doesn't get over here to China. (Again, Jennifer, the packet BB mailed to me around the same time I mailed one to you still has not arrived. More than likely its stuck in customs here in China.)

On a 'happier' note, I'm relocating back to Canada after this school year so I am indeed looking forward to more participation (at the minimum, reading posts in a relatively close time-zone!).
