Fred, I had a box take 12 days to reach PA this summer. It would get to PA and then it would be sent back to Nashville, then sent back to PA; back and forth. Turns out that the scanner in a small town of PA did not read the postal service label correctly and was picking up my return address label. It was very frustrating for the recipient and for me. I hope they are ok when you get them. I have ordered a couple from Nicole for spring delivery.
