Over the last Two years, I have only had 3 or 4 ripped
envelopes.....wait for it !!
All from the USPS - and the remains of each arrived here in a plastic bag.
I think the big question relating to re-qsling is how long should one
wait. Direct, hard to say - 3 months perhaps ? although going on some
postings here six is more realistic.
Buro - it has to be a couple of years.
I am always prepared to answer e-mail queries regarding direct cards for
anyone that I handle, and can tell you exactly when it was received
[assuming it was], and roughly when it was replied to.
Buro - I can only give a 'yes' or 'no'.

PS - Anyone who is waiting for a 9M4SEB Card - if the post from the
Ukraine is working, I hope to receive the blanks this coming week
