I'm curious if anyone else has experience receiving mail from Switzerland and, assuming by some freak chance somebody HAS had this experience, how long your gift or letter took to get to you.

I received a gift from a friend there once, Swiss cheese if I remember correctly, and it took less than a week but he sent me a gift almost two weeks ago this time and it hasn't arrived yet. I'm not worried but just curious, hoping my cheese doesn't spoil. I figure maybe I got lucky the first time........?

^ Sorry bro..

Obama got your smokes..

The "Letter" will follow...

wheel,

that might concern me wheel but my friend sent me cheese, not "smokes". I hear Obama isn't all that fond of Swiss cheese so I should be safe.

^ are you sure "Cheese" is'nt code speak ?

wheel,

now, if I admitted to that it wouldn't be much of a code, would it?

^ I have a Secret decoder Ring I got in a Box of Froot Loops ..

wheel,

I got some delightful Swiss chocolate a couple weeks back that only took 8 days.....including a weekend.

'Twas my first purchase of such a commodity. I do believe I'll be a repeat customer of their fine chocolates.

what ring gauge are your Truffles ?

ha !

wheel,

^Hoyo

I've been waiting a week for a cab of Party shorts.Usually a week is all it takes.................thought yesterday would be the magic day......no joy.

Oh........I don't speak in code.Unless my wife's around.LOL

^ Ha,,

for me it's about 10 days...

wheel,

5 days max

^ Wow !

do you pay shipping charges ?

Mine includes shippping...

wheel,

usually 7 business days, but my last order took almost two weeks. but it came eventually.

My cheese usually comes in 8-10 days. One time I didn't get the cheese I ordered in a timely fashion and it took almost a month for the explanation to arrive. Some government employee sure likes their cheese!

I haven't ordered cheese in a while because I don't like swiss. Is there anyone else shipping from other than Switzerland?

Even the the good old hong kong cheese now ships from there.

The cheese in Hong Kong has went up.Thye're just not competing well against the Swiss cheese.There are also so many rock solid varieties of Swiss cheese........I like variety.

I think I'll go smoke a gouda roll.

Thanks, guys. You've all pretty much verified what I expected. I'm very much looking forward to cooking that cheese in the next few days. Who know's? Maybe tomorrow!

Maybe I'll make Juan's #1 quiche recipe!!

....wait...what?

(psst--next time, say chocolates...i am fairly sure that importing dairy products will also get you in trouble)

^damn, didn't think of that....I hope the Dairy Inspection Patrol Squad (D.I.P.S.) don't read this forum!!!

^i can say with a fair degree of certainty that MANY dips read the forums...but maybe not the ones you are talking about.
