Just Tell Me Where It Is Already!
Arrghh!! I sent some documents to Pakistan on Monday via Canada Post/Purolator, it's supposed to take 4 to 6 days. I can say they are updating their tracking more often than when I sent a Christmas gift to the States via Expedited but sheesh, it makes no sense.
From the Canada Post site:
The Purolator site is almost as bad, except it's more up to date:
So, where exactly is the envelope? I know it's on the other side of the world because it's still the 12th here. Other than that, I have no idea. I guess I wait for delivery. . .
Update:
I've been watching since yesterday and their have been a few more "Item is enroute to the Delivery Office" and "Item is enroute to the Sortation Plant". I figured it's gotta be delivered soon, though probably not today since it's already Sunday in Pakistan. I just looked at the Purolator site and all it says is to call the 1-888 #, no tracking chart or anything. I call, type in the tracking # and the message says I'm being forwarded to the call centre, which is of course closed. sigh. Still no idea where in the world the envelope is. //sigh//
Update #2:
It's arrived! And within the 4 to 6 days advertised. It was delivered last night, or this morning Pakistan time. No, I'm not just relying on those stupid websites //grrr//, I've heard from the recipient that it arrived as well. Phew! Next time, should I need a next time, I'll spend the big bucks and use DHL or FedEx.

Bummer, can you do it again?
Can you tell why those huge spaces are appearing between the text and the tables? It's bugging me and I can't seem to fix it. . .

I asked if the sending of things to Pakistan was related to the lovely-eyed man you blogged about earlier.
I'm not sure where the spaces are coming from. There's a div tag between the text and one of the tables, but not the other, so I don't think that's it. Maybe blogger just has a hard time with tables. Have you checked the blogger help or whatever they call it?

It must just hate tables. I tried the div tag to see if it helped. It didn't. Maybe I'll just edit out the table.
Yes, the couriering (is that a word?) to Pakistan had much to with the lovely eyed man. //grin// He is applying for a visa to come for a visit and I had to send a notarized letter of invitation for him to submit with his application. Being that the Pakistani postal system is not the most reliable (kind of like Canada Post!) I decided to courier so I could have tracking.
