Q. And if you live in Germany, what would you like to receive from the U.S.? Why don't some countries allow the mailing of playing cards?
A. Playing cards used to have an excise tax in the USA. That's no reason to prohibit their importation. Maybe some Islamist governments like the Taliban think they are sinful.

Where to buy 200 turkeys for employees?
Q. Hello, Iwork in a high tech company in San Jose, CA. This year we are planning to gift turkey to our 200 employees for Thanksgiving. We want to make an arrangment where we can provide a meat vendor with employees names and addresses and turkeys will be shipped out to their homes by the vendor. 95% of employees are around San Jose area and other 5% scattered in USA. Any suggestion on the vendors I can contact? Thank you in advance!
A. I used to work in the grocery industry and what you are asking for is unrealistic, and not cost effective.
For your local employees contact a local grocer like Nob Hill or Safeway, or Lucky and see what sort of deal they will work out for you. Then set up a day for delivery and they will drop them off and then the employees can pick them up.
For the out of state employees I would suggest buying gift cards for a local grocer. They should be equal in value as the average cost of the turkeys provided.
A couple of other things to consider, not everyone eats meat so an alternative gift should be provided for those that choose non meat options. A nice gift basket with nuts and dried fruit is a popular choice.
Not everyone wants a free turkey, many firms offer their employees the option of donating their turkey to a local food bank.

Has anyone experienced the heartache of non-delivery of parcels from UK to USA via Royal Mail?
Q. I airmailed 2 identical envelopes to same address in USA in large Feather post envelopes on 25 Nov. complete with customs form . Only one arrived. Both were perfectly wrapped and sealed with my own address on reverse. Where is the missing one - postage was more than value of simple gifts. Post Office puzzled.
Americans say their Post Office is not at fault it is at this side.
