When we ship packages from Spain, they usually take 2 to 3 weeks, but never more than one month. And yes, the shipping boxes are on the flimsy side.

Shipping from France is less expensive and faster and the boxes are much more suited for shipping internationally.

Someone in Malaga, Spain shipped a package (registered) to me on October 23. For two days the postal site in Spain said "en transito" and then nothing until 27th October when it said "origin post preparing shipment". That is what is it saying when I check on usps.com also. Should it take this long? We are now at 10 days and I can't see that it has left the country yet. I was told it would show up on the USPS site as soon as it got into the country. Of course we just had HUrricane Sandy so Heaven only knows where this registered package could be. I wish she had sent it Express. Mine to her got there in 5 days. I would appreciate any help and reassurance you can give me. Thanks.

That isn't that long ago. I just sent some postcards from Madrid to the east coast of the US and those took 7-10 days.
