Would anyone be able to suggest the best time to post my Christmas cards to Zagreb? I'm in London, and have sent letters and postcards before, but never actually bothered to find out how long they took to get there.
I remember sending a postcard from the coast back to London a while ago - and it took three weeks! It would have been quicker to drive it back personally.
I never normally send cards at Christmas, but I'm feeling generous this year!

i can't give you an exact answer, but in my experience post usually arrives in a week. allow few extra days due to christmas chaos.... so, i'd say approx 10 days, but possibly even less.

Cheers Nod. Will pull out the diary and try to plan it. do my friends have to pay Carine(tax) on gifts i send them? Good point! What's the deal with wrapped christmas gifts? Do the customs thugs have the right to unwrap everything?

Anything they can tax they will, even if legally they shouldn't, I wouldn't worry about the scotch though, the ****'s at customs will drink it.
I was once charged $80 tax from $40 of dvd's for usa, a portable dvd player that cost a total of $30 and should be exempt from import tax they charged me $50, and you try argue with them, the only language they understand is bribe,you can thank me that Attila the hun no longer works in the Zagreb office, she was a krava. As for most things the tax free limit is $60 I believe.
