Not totally unexpected . . .

Both the first and second shipments last year from the orient for CollectA here in the United States were delayed.  Part of the reason given was extended time clearing customs.  The first container to come in this year was also delayed.  So, it is not unexpected that I received information yesterday from the Director of Sales Operations for CollectA in the US that their second shipment was being pushed back from the original "June/July" estimate to August.

Not good news for the collecting community, but it will help us all develop more patience in our lives.
