Great point about the customs. Choosing between a Miguel Tejada glove and national security, I would go with the latter.

Re: Canada Postal Experience--What's Yours?
Dave,
It once took 30 days for an item I shipped from IL to reach the east coast of Canada. Stuff can get hung up at customs, and everything might have been getting a little extra scrutiny these past few weeks.Leave a comment:

Re: Canada Postal Experience--What's Yours?
I have sent several items this summer to a buyer in far-west Canada (I'm in Cleveland), and I don't think any have taken more than two weeks. Don't know what it's like coming from the other direction, although a baseball I got last year took about a week.

Re: Canada Postal Experience--What's Yours?-Update
Still no information on item shipped August 18, or 19 from Canada to California. Would you worry yet?

Damn, I just posted a Brett Lawrie card to Canada...hope it gets there. Can't afford to be giving refunds thanks to dodgy postal system. At least ours here is just slow.Leave a comment:

Re: Canada Postal Experience--What's Yours?
I'm from Canada, and NEVER EVER EVER use our postal service for important items. Not only is the service slow, like a previous poster stated, the tracking number is pretty much useless because the website is never updated.
I always use UPS, Purolator or DHL to ship items. More reliable, faster and not that much more expensive than the Canada Post.Leave a comment:

It took 17 days to get a Delmon Young bat delivered from Canada a few years back......Leave a comment:

Re: Canada Postal Experience--What's Yours?
I just got two large envelopes in from the Great White North today. Both arrived intact and in proper condition
Regardless, people in the know that I've talked to have basically stated that, as much as Americans like to moan and groan about our postal service, it's still far superior to what our friends to the north have.

Canada Postal Experience--What's Yours?
I bought something from someone I met through the forum, a really nice guy. He mailed the item and a COA in separate envelope more than two weeks ago.
It doesn't show on their tracking site and I have seen nothing. Anybody had experience with Canada mail. Is it usually this slow?
Oh Canada!!!
