lol Sharon that just describes the postal service perfectly
Hanne I hope he gets through with just a little strip search
. If he gets stopped then US customs are going to be super confused when 6 stuffed broccolis turn up ha.

Thankfully they won't be coming up thru Mexico 
We are just under an hour's drive from the border in one of the worst sectors. I love watching the K9 Border Patrol unit working the cars and trucks going thru the checkpoint. There's a chance the dog would want a Broccoli for himself! LOL

I've had the following email from Royal Mail to explain why things are not moving
"We are working with our airline and postal/courier partners across the globe to maintain services, however delays should be expected. Many countries have implemented special measures to combat the spread of Coronavirus COVID-19.
The number of countries that we can access is changing daily. Most major export routes remain open, and we continue to accept and process mail, although customers may experience varying levels of delay.
There are significant delays to a number of countries right now due to a lack of available transport links and suspension of certain country’s postal operations. We strongly advise not to send items to destinations listed as ‘On suspension’ below".
On the list of countries they have sent is Canada and the USA.............
Canada:
"Canada has put special measures in place to limit the spread of Coronavirus. Canada Post need to comply and is also likely to have a reduced workforce available, and not be able to deliver all mail to specifications. Delays to mail services can be expected."
USA:
"The USA has introduced special quarantine measures against Coronavirus. As a result, USPS may not be able to deliver mail to specifications in order to prevent spread of the infection. Delays to mail services can be expected."
I'm taking that as there may be quite some delay which will explain why the tracking is not moving. Would of been nice to have been told the advise not to send to the US and Canada as the packages were being handed over lol.
