Hello,

In answer to your question, yes. It is possible, 
and probably likely, that the cels have been 
delayed.

At holiday time the postal service is flooded 
with packages; and it is usual to see a bit of 
delay in delivery because of the high volume. But 
this year, because of increased precautions due 
to the Anthrax threat, I expect delays will be 
even greater. This would be especially true if 
your cels were sent from (or traveling through) 
Washington DC, New York, or New Jersey areas. As 
a resident of the Washington DC area, I can tell 
you from experience that much of our mail has 
been delayed for this reason.

Still, I suppose it depends on how the cels were 
sent to you. For example, if they were sent by 
the EMS express mail service, then I think you 
probably should have received them by now. Even 
if they were sent by global priority, I think 1 
month would have been more than sufficient 
time...But if they were sent to you by regular 
airmail, I would say you should wait a bit 
longer. (Hopefully the person who shipped them to 
you didn't send them by surface - that could take 
3 months! And that's the usual delivery time!) 
I'd recommend checking with the sender and ask 
them which method they used. (And if they have 
any kind of tracking number for your package.)

Hope this helps you out.

Sincerely,

Melissa
