Here's a note to TheForce, had an article in limbo from BC, been three weeks. Yes, Canadian customs sucks, holds on to and makes things disappear from the radar. Maybe yours hit this same pipeline? But Here's one for the USA. Had an item purchased/sent out on the 16th, just now received it today the 23rd. While not "unusual" for a first class w/tracking to take over 4 days, this parcel languished from Portland to Kansas City from the 17th to midnite the 22nd.

It spent three days at the least in limbo, no scans, nada, in what usually takes one day of transit westbound KC to SF....Go figure, just what sights my little package must have seen. Now I get to go open it to see if anything is in it, it is an ebay purchase at least!

It's interesting crazyb that I have had packages from Australia and the UK delivered much, much faster than this seller in British Columbia! The envelope wasn't tampered with so I don't understand why it would be held up in customs for so long.

I agree with you the vast majority of the time, but I can't do so here. Our postal system is exemplary in comparison to any other nation.

Live in a lot of countries and your package loss rate is over 20%. I've lived in enough of those countries to know from personal experience.

Unless you were ordering a widget to put your furnace in order, or a bouquet, or unwrapped cheese, there isn't much need to be grumpy about a little wait for a coin.

Because that's how customs work. Things move through when they say so
