Yeah, like zanne said, where you live will affect how long your mail takes to get to the celebrity, and how long their response will take to get back to you. I live in Bahrain and I send my requests by airmail.. and I think it takes about up to a week before my requests even gets to the US! So that rules out successes that takes a few days :( unless I request by email which I prefer not to do. But the reply will come eventually (when the celeb responses of course).

Good luck to everyone :)

Hi! ;-)

It happens to me almost always! :lol: I guess it's becuase I'm in South Africa, so it takes much longer to ship mail from the US or UK to here where I live at the bottom of Africa! :razz: But I do get my autographs eventually, but it can take up to 2 weeks longer than others here. :roll:

Regards,
zanne

It's a common occurrence, "unfortunately".

A normal reply can take three, four months, that's to be expected. There are times when they'll come in days---not common---or many months!

I sent to Ian McKellen 11 months ago. Since then I have seen several successes, some taking only two weeks. Yes, I find that very frustrating. I mailed two requests to that same agency, on the same day, and never heard back from either of them!

It's all part of collecting, I am sorry to say. I would agree they need to organize their mail so that they answer first in, first out!

Oh yeah, that happens to me all the time...but it doesn't get me annoyed as long as I get the autograph eventually :D At the moment I'm waiting for Dominic Cooper, everyone seems to be getting their autos, except for me. Sometimes I never get my request back, even if everyone else receives theirs.

It's happened to me tons of times! Like a couple of successes ago, I sent out to Dick van Dyke, and I thought it would only take a couple of weeks, but it ended up taking two months! I'm also waiting on Angela Lansbury, whom I have been waiting for almost four weeks, and John Rhys-Davies, which I have been waiting for for almost five months! {up} {up} [rockon] {pyth}

I've had this happen to me lots of times. But I never get mad. I know their busy and when they get around to answering it, cool! For example, I sent to Freddie Highmore last year, haven't heard a reply back yet. But I'm hoping it's just sitting in his pile of fanmail somewhere waiting to be answered. :D

Yeah I get a little annoyed when I see loads of people getting successes from someone I have wrote to and then I never get anything. That has happened quite a few times.
If it comes eventually though then that doesn't bother me, it's just if nothing comes ever.
