yup that's what is happening with the boxes shipped by my sister and what's frustrating is most of my gifts i will be giving i brought online. It only means that I did not do much Christmas shopping for gifts and I don't plan to do any as it will just double our expenses. the box was shipped last Oct 12 and according to the shipping company we should be receiving it with 30 to 35 days, so not counting weekends we should have it end of November or the most by this week. Well from the last update that I had the box is already here but still waiting for the papers that will be given by their US office. I just hope that this week they can finally deliver it since will be seeing friends by next week and I hope I can give the gifts to the children already.
