Canada Post. Heh. I bought a book off e-bay from someplace in Canada, paid for 2 day delivery. Took over a week to finally get delivered to Minnesota. Thank goodness I had a tracking number. The shipper shipped it promptly, but Canada Post status would always just say "recv'd" or some B.S. like that. I thought I was getting ripped off and was wondering if "Canada Post" was even legite.
Another time I bought a printer from Montreal. Came by truck 3 days later. Go figure. Canada Post must be staffed and run by some goverment social program filling quotas with the most least qualified persons from the streets to do the job, IMHO. Heh.

I've had good experiences with purchases from quite a few members ranging from the most recent thing (an AC controller) to the most expensive thing a plasma cutter. Everything got here within two weeks of it being shipped. The only thing I sent to the states was via FedEx and was a mini milling machine, I don't think it took two weeks and if I remember correctly only took one. A month for shipping is pretty unreal.
All I can say is that I hope board members won't get put off of Canadian sales because of one slacker. Ron

FYI I just got my package from HuggerCST and it took 3 weeks to get here from the US. I didn't find it to be an unusually long time based on past experiences and a month wouldn't have surprised me. I'd rather ship via the postal service as the savings in fees for customs, etc is well worth a little bit of wating. We have sent about a thousand packages to the US through Canada Post and one got lost. I have never had anything lost coming. Any damage I have had has been due to people having no concept of appropriate packaging. If you don't have your stuff chances are it was never actually shipped. If it was a package of any consequential size and it wasn't shipped air mail then it would have been shipped via expedited mail and would be trackable with a tracking numer through the Canada Post web site.
