Thanks for letting me know.
I will watch for them.
Mail is taking almost a week for anything, so don't panic.
I will let you know as soon as your cards arrive.
AWESOME cars received from SunKissedJellyBaby, TerryHEdwards, RaineyDay, and LuckyCat479.
Please note:
Mail Transit is averaging 1-2 weeks.
Don't be alarmed if you mailed your cards in the last few days, and they have not arrived.
Don't panic if your cards do not reach me in 3-4 days.
That was PRE-COVID mail transit timing, which does NOT work these days.
Just so you know, POST-COVID, mail is taking 1-2 weeks to reach me, within the U.S., and this is the "new" normal mail transit time. International mail is taking 2-3 weeks.
Please don't panic if your cards do not arrive quickly.
NOTHING is arriving quickly!!!!!
