We live in Canada, but were visiting our younger daughter in Germany in early December. We ordered an extra long linen runner and 12 placemats for a Christmas gift for our older daughter in Virginia. The parcel was sent on 15 December and arrived 21 December… even before we arrived from Germany. Extraordinary service! We used the linens for our Christmas dinner… and everyone was very impressed with the quality and craftsmanship of the product. A special thank-you to Simona for helping us determine the best way to try to get the gift to our family before Christmas.
