Is this a record?

My sister's Christmas card took 5 weeks to get to me (in the sticks) from Dublin via An Post. I ordered watch-bands and reusable face-masks (size large) from California last Friday. DHL delivered them today shortly after my lunch-time soup and sandwich.

Allowing for the purchase price, currency charges, postage, VAT, import duty, and Uncle Tom Cobley and all, the masks worked out at €1.72 each, the silicon watch-bands for Apple Watch Series 4 at €30 each.

Extraordinary value, extraordinary service.
 
Hmmmmm! Our postcode is suspiciously like "TAI WAN" and we get some of our letters (mostly those posted in the UK) three months/six months after they have been posted. I can safely say I get more letters through Taiwan than the Chinese Embassy in Dublin.

It's great! Nothing like getting Christmas Cards for St-Patrick's Day.
