Unless they were shipped via USPS global express, they could easily take 3-4 weeks this time off year. I have waited 4 weeks before for regular USPS packages this time off year.
Same here...
I use USPS from US to Canada whenever possible. I'm so sick and tired of UPS and their bullcrap brokerage fees. License to steal if you ask me.
I live in Canada and I absolutely cringe when I hear that someone is sending something UPS. The extra charges are incredible!! Just send stuff through the post office, may be somewhat slower, but way less expensive.
USPS Global Express is faster than UPS most of the time.
I just feel bad for my customers. They still have not received their packages. I guess I will have to start charging even more to ship to Canada, and just ship them USPS express so customers can get items in a timely fashion.
3 to 4 weeks!!! way to long.

I bought some stuff of Ebay (New Jersey) on November 27 and it did take 3 weeks with USPS.......I have 2 bar stools coming from Chicago with the little brown guys, and it will be here within 5 business days, BUT I do have my wallet and a jar of vaseline ready......I am a little concerned.......!
The worst part is, maybe the seller really did ship the items....
Just as an aside, I am stuck telling my customers that I shipped the items, but the only tracking number I have is a customs number...nothing else. It makes me look bad....
Trust me, it's not the shipping that does this!!! It's the artic cat's you ride!!
LOL, hope you have a good christmas break!!

We ONLY ship US Postal Service Express to canada
We have shipped to Canada via US Postal Service Express with great results - under 7 days. I had a customer who didn't want to pay the $28 to ship it Express so he asked me to ship priority, which I did. Took 3 WEEKS! I felt it made me look bad too, even though it didn't have anything to do with my service.
The other nice thing about US Postal Service Express is it tracks all the way to delivery with a tracking #.
I will NEVER ship any other way than US Postal Service Express - It's not worth it!
my 2 cents.....

hahaahaha.......
This time of year I bite the bullet and go 3-day select ups. Can't stand Fed-ex for service and haven't had much luck with usps. When it absolutely positively has to be there.........drive it yourself. Sorry Jeff, hope you have a happy new year.
