Is this normal, because I've never had this problem. Some of my trades take like 3 days, and others for no good reason seem to take 2-3 weeks. In fact I have 2 pending trades that have received my end but I have not received theirs and it has been close to 3 weeks now. I have never had a trade get lost in the mail before so I am kind of worried.

Hi I'm Infecter4life and ironically I only play GBx decks.
I think Galspanic mentioned something along these lines in the Puca Trade thread.
In short, December is a God-Awful month for trading cards, because of a confluence of nastiness. Postal system is overloaded due to holiday gifts being shipped around the country, people are traveling for the holidays and aren't at their mailing address for days or weeks at a time, and people are stressed out and aren't as responsive on websites such as this.
Apparently, BTR's spike in December.

Went to a new shop from a friend's recommendation, DQ'ed for willful violation of CR 100.6b.
They're shipped in trays with a carboard covering and shipping tie; the ties break and letters can be displaced in sorting facilities for sometime before they're discovered. I've had letters or even bubblemailers with shipping take up to a month, proper postage stamp and all.
There's nothing like watching your playset of Mutavaults sit in North Carolina for a month before suddenly having it's appear on your doorstep with no scan inbetween. Meh.
I made the mistake of mailing cards to Argentina and Australia (& Canada, too) in December on Puca Trade... at least 3 weeks have gone by and nothing. Thank the Lord (& pass the ammunition) that the recipients have been patient.
Most of the trades have come in by now, I just find it strange that from the same area two people send their trades and one gets here 3 weeks later with the other having a normal shipping time (3 days). It seems like they get held up in the sorting facility for a long long time for whatever reason.
