Here's my two cents worth. As a resident in Mexico, I started trading chips with members of the ChipBoard and to be honest I was Sh***ing myself every time I sent a package out. Fortunately every package arrived in the US within 7-10 days, with one exception - to Las Vegas which took 16. The Mexican postal service has its deficiencies but thank God the days of the three year delivery are over. I hope things don't start that way in the States, because I look forward to receiving my packages most days.
