I've mailed my husband an envelope on the 25th of November 2008 (LAST MONTH) and its the 17th of December now and he hasn't received it. I'm from Canada and I believe that the postal service is extremely poor in Qatar. I'm really worried right now and I hope that my mail isn't lost : (. I am glad to know that the service is slow there, since I do have some hope now after reading a few of your comments regarding slow postage. I hope my mail isn't lost............... After this experience I will be getting a tracking number each time I mail ANYTHING to my husband..... I just hope that it gets there soon, its been more than 3 weeks now.......
