Thanks a lot for the reply :-). I will try to adapt this certificate to make it a "Presenter Certificate". Thank you, -- Sergio

As Paulo said downthread, the package is probably in the brazilian post-office. I will keep waiting here! Thanks, -- Sergio

Here in Brazil we have problems with post-office and every year the package arrives very close to SFD (or like in 2011 AFTER SFD...).

We've been shipping goodies since 2008 so I can really tell you we do have experience in the matter and while we understand you're not happy that your pack is not there, every year whatever shipping methods we use we hit issues. Last year some teams in the USA didn't receive their package... I wouldn't think it could be possible but as you see issues always arise. Fred

I know there will be issues in some countries when we're doing it on such a big scale. I understand your situation but using registered post with a "tracking number" will help let us know that whether or not we should wait for the package to arrive. Right now even the post office guys are not able to help us in any manner because it's an ordinary post. A tracking number is a must for any international post. > > It's a fact of life that we have to live with, and believe me we look > very closely at the issue. > > Fred > >

Re: [SFD-discuss] [SFD] Ordinary Post - A bad idea

by Frederic Muller - DFF

Hi! Yes, that could help maybe. In some cases though (I think we had the case last year) a team received their package 6 months after we shipped it... which is still better than never though :) We're really subject to many countries, customs and postal departments way of working and we always suffer a little bit either here or there unfortunately.
