well … at least they asked before they opened it
I got a call from the Customs Office today ~ the contents of my eagerly awaited care package #2 are under review.
It’s likely that any foodstuffs (dammit ~ no real cheese, no real sausage, no real coffee) will be removed, but I assuming that my “miscellaneous personal items” will pass inspection. I’ve clearly used up my “lifeline” for American food products. And I’ll probably be on some blacklist for package inspection going forward. Very disappointing …
Bill and Lisa, I wish I could give you back all the time and energy and money that you spent putting it all together ~ THANK YOU so much for everything!
Oh, well ~ at least they contacted me before they opened it. We’ll see what made it through.

I wish I read this first — I just spent $53 postage sending you $20 worth of Cheerios and other goodies —. I truly hope they let you have it. Everything is sealed and secure. I thought you received Bill’s package successfully. Oh zoot. 🙁

It may make it. The first package did. This one was a lot heavier (44 lbs vs 25 lbs), so maybe that is why it was targeted. The tragedy is that our goal was for Nancy to have things for a nice Easter meal with her fellow English speakers.
