Mission Status: Morning tea with Sofia - letter from VPS member on CFN shipment
Received note from VPS member Dennis Oniszczak:"Great News! I received the balance of 2024 and the early 2025 Vatican issues from CFN this afternoon.
1. I submitted my order on 11/20/20252. The order was shipped on 1/19/20263. I received the order on 1/21/2026(I can't believe it took only 2 days UPS from the Vatican to my home.)1. The package was received in perfect condition. No damage!
2. I ordered 30 items and all are perfect.
3. What is surprising to me is that every individual stamp has a sheet margin or two... (same as I always received from Penny Black since the 1960's.)
This is the first time I ever ordered stamps directly from the Vatican. I will be submitting my next order for the balance of the 2025 issues.
Hopefully, CFN continues to improve its response time for future orders."

This is great news! The website team is trying to get confirmation that Vatican postal shipments have resumed and expectation of CNF processing and shipping time frames.
What is confusing is that several order we have been tracking have earlier order submission dates and those orders have yet to be received. We will continue to report CFN order processing times and shipping time frames when we have further information.
By-the-way: Sofia makes good cookies and knows how to serve tea at the proper temperature! She speaks both Italian and English. She might be able to teach me a thing or two! Not sure if she will be joining the website team or not. She likes to travel and we are discussing a possible trip to Italy this spring. Could get serious!!
