I know they are slow, but I ordered something (non SW related) 5 weeks ago and still no sign of it.
I have emailed the seller to ask if it was sent by worm, as even a ****ing carrier pigeon would have managed to fly across the Atlantic by now, but is that sort of delay normal for Canada post?

I'm begining to think you're right!

Either that or some inbred redneck Canadian has taken it (a rugby shirt) home to try and get it to mate with his Gerbil! :roll:

I paid $35 for International signed for mail from Canada couple of months ago, only took 10 days to arrive for me,
are you sure it's not the seller who is the snail?

Don't know. I did send them an abusive email yesterday which they haven't replied to yet.

Josh is correct. Packages from there can take ages to get to the states. The postage rates are high and the service is ran by cavemen. Some packages never arrive. I try my best to avoid buying anything from Canada.

Ive had larger parcels take 8 weeks to turn up from Canada. It seems that are just horrifically slow.

Got a reply from them (which I was surprised about, because I was pretty ****ing rude in my email). Not quite sure how they managed it but they "lost" my order in their system. It's still showing up but is "locked" and they can't even see what I ordered. :roll:

Now I see why American's slag Canadians off for being dum/slow and inbred! :roll:

I hate their highways...you get an off ramp about every 50 miles...so you better have a full tank of gas, a full belly and if you have to ****...you better find the nearest tree. :D

Lol. I love the Canada bashing. It's a hard life living in a country where there are more lakes and trees and wildlife than gas stations. I'd much rather live where signage is the only indicator of the seperation of cities touching shoulder to shoulder and over-run with people. I guess somehow me and my sister and our children will find a way. BTW, this country is comprised of people who have come from your country no matter what country you come from.
