Customs strike = shipping delays? - Click HERE for Original Thread

REFLUX
I couldn't find the original thread so...blah

Well I ordered a video from Florida on October 23rd and it arrived to me today (Nov 2)

so about 1 week of shipping (7 business days = ~10 real days)
it was international express so I don't know if it SHOULD'VE taken only 1 or 2 days or if this is the standard length

I've never ordered int'l express before so....:dunno:

Im waiting on some goods that should take 2 days to get here from the states.

I bought some stuff and got it thru UPS in 3 days.

I hear UPS is exempt to this because they have their own shit or something lol.

BTW my products were said to be shipped Friday, so we will see.

yeah UPS goes through their own broker...
which in this case is nice..

but if you've ever used UPS before you'd know that they put CRAZY duty fees on their stuff...
and you will be paying for it.

enjoy.

The boys in brown really bend us Canucks over when we get stuff from outside Canada.

hahaha

Update: Got my parts took 1 week from the day he shipped.

Best part no damn DUTY/ANYTHING was sent as a gift.

its strange because usually things will spit out of the states really fast....its importing that causes delays...the US doesn't care what leaves

arabian_ryda
ordered a part that was shipped on oct 25, via usps so we`ll see how much of a delay there is.

energie
my stuff arrived at customs on Nov 2 and left on the 7

Kiddo
is everything shipped by USPS gonna be slow?

energie
mines being shipped by usps, so 6 days...i was kinda expecting it to be longer.

Kiddo
hope my order is only gonna take 6 days :) I wasn't given a time period for shipping

scooby_dooby
this probably has more to do with the hurricanes tahn customs, but i ordered an ECU from florida, it was sent Aug 28th and got here oct 28th, USPS.

depends on how it was shipped
normal USPS does not give tracking #s
UPS & FedEx always do
USPS Global Express does as well

Check this out:

Canada Post news report

This will help explain.

FWIW I have several packages that I have been waiting over a month for.

I've been waiting on my rear swaybar mounting kit now for more than a week. I don't know what the dael is, hope the seller didn't shaft me.

energie
i finally got my stuff it took 10 days for it to come from Cali to Edmonton.

I have 83 lbs of parts coming from florida via UPS. That is going to be painful when I get the shipping bill.:blink:

I guess we'll see how long it takes.
