Arismende, that's unfortunately true - our post services are far from being perfect. However, before this case I only heard about similar problems but never actually came across them - all my experiences with the mail were positive, and I thought those stories were sort of over-exaggeration. But - as it came out - they were not

Next time I will probably participate with a British address - it will make the whole process quicker & safer. I keep going backwards and forwards and have constant access to both mailboxes in Russia & in Britain

I'll knot a nice bracelet for you, Kislobog. Unless you'd like to receive one I've already knotted and posted pictures of? You can PM me if you prefer that :-) And maybe I'd better send it to your British mail-address then?
