I have ordered lots and I mean lots from M* and it has always arrived so I don't think this will be any different.

I hadn't thought about the drop of tracking once it got to Canada. Sometimes tracking gives lots of updates and sometimes it seems to "stall". I hope you see your package soon.

Last Christmas I sent a package to Finland and the tracking stopped as soon as it left the states. I shipped it out on Dec 2, and it didn't arrive at the destination until the 24th. I was sweating it big time!
Not to mention the mail clerk (seeing how nervous I was to begin with as it was a hand made item) decided to regale me with a tale of a friend who sent her package over seas, but when the package arrived to where it was going...it had different contents in it!!
:icon_eek:
Customs had open the package, but put the wrong item back inside.
So not nice to tell someone mailing a package through customs huh?
Um.....and so not nice of me to relay that story to someone waiting on customs too huh?

Hoping that all is well and your package arrives in time. However, if it does not, please feel free to blame the delay on US Postal Service. In this case, do you have any pictures of the quilts to show? And let them know that as soon as the quilts arrive, you will bind them and send them off? It will extend the Christmas season for them.

Here's another hope that your quilts get back in time. I know that the recipients will be understanding if you aren't able to get them bound in time.
When a package gets "lost" in transport, it can get pretty aggravating, and scary. I had a box of live chickens go missing in the mail. I expected to have a box of dead fuzzy butts when they finally came, but they were all ok. Just took two days longer than it should have.

Oh Nan I am so sorry they have not arrived yet, but I can tell you they are beautiful and I am sure you will be excited when they do arrive. Have a very Merry Christmas
