Coronation Street cast cards to Canada Question - 28 de July de 2026 Hello,
I'm sorry if this is the wrong forum to ask this question. Please move if necessary.
I'm a canadian Coronation Street fan who collects preprinted cast cards. Before Covid, I would email the press office and now after Covid, the Cast cards are available through the production office. Usually, I would send emails to the various representatives as we do not have access to British Stamps for SASEs . For the most part, I would receive them within one to two weeks of the initial email if I can get the right person, which is a bit hard with the production office.
I was corresponding with a production secretary for some of the newer character cast cards two years ago and I received an envelope within two weeks. Now 2 years later, I had only seen a few new cast cards and 1 of the people is leaving soon, so I decided to write my friend again. When I reached her, she said she looked over the list of possibilities and said that she would be able to send a package to me soon. I was happy. Then a few weeks passed with no response. I thought that she sent it to the wrong address (I double checked the address I sentand it was totally correct), or something happened at customs or the secretary knew something about future cards that I didn't know. I tempted fate and sent her an email in late May and she said "Sorry for the delay, we sent it to the Canadian address below and we were waiting on a few cards to come out.
I was happy and eager to get my package, but nothing really came. There was another envelope I saw, but it was for the wrong address and it didn't have the ITV logo so it didn't seem to be it so, by late June, I checked with her again and she seemed apologetic and told me she would send another envelope again to my address which was the correct address. As of now, I haven't received anything.
In the past, I have always received my envelopes from the Press and the Production offices within two weeks, but this time I don't seem to be getting anything and I have been looking in my mailbox every day. I've heard that it could take a fe months for certain packages to arrive from the UK to Canada, but an envelope of cast cards from a place where I have gotten them pretty quick in the past? I know the address over here I sent them was correct, but do you think I could still receive either envelope in the future? Should I not give up hope?
I don't want to keep on bothering the production secretary again with questions after she has been so nice to me in the past couple of months? I just want to know what I should do? Should I not give up hope or do you think I won't ever receive either parcel?
Any help would be appreciated! |
