If not it looks like your postal system is pretty bad from this  distance. It 
makes me want to contact our postal system and see what their  systems are as 
we never have this sort of problem - but then our  population base is a whole 
lot smaller overall. Now I understand why  articles from the US take so much 
longer than anywhere else.

The USPS is remarkably efficient and effective. The AIS has been mailing  the 
Bulletin to its members since 1920. I have served on the Board since 1991  
and throughout the 90s I heard of no systematic problem of Bulletin delivery in  
the US. Oh, there would be the isolated failure to receive, late receipt or  
damaged Bulletin from time to time---but these were isolated incidents.  It  
does not make sense to me that suddenly the postal service would deteriorate. I 
 continue to believe that the problem is our mailer. Clarence  Mahan
