    I use Canada post but aint very happy with them right now. They seem to have lost a Crossfire headlight assy I sold. Its been over a month now and they still dont have an answer for me. I cant claim any insurance money from them until they close the investigation. In the meantime I have a fellow that has paid me for the part and never recieved it. I feel I should refund his money but I dont feel comfortable doing it until I know what the outcome is. Now I'm stuck with ebay fees paid and a guy who wants a refund.:(

    Remember its Christmas.

    I ordered a pair of roller purchases from Shaun at Street or Track and it took 4 weeks to get from Detroit to London.

    Any other time of the year stuff gets to me in 2 weeks.

    I wouldn't worry quite yet.

    In business and personal life, I have had a terrible time with shipping lately. A lot of snow here in the states in some places that don't know how to deal with it well.

    Normally a parcel from Florida to Ohio takes 4 days by US Mail ... just had Christmas presents take 11 days to get there. Boy... was I ever hearing it from the wife and mother-in-law ... :tsk::cussing::naughty::mad::banghead:

    There are two packages out there with UPS (business stuff) that they don't seem to really know where they are after 10 days now. We have tracking numbers on these, but there is no trail of locations for these boxes ... other stuff shipped on the pallet to UPS got to where it was going, but not these ... weird.

    In shipping to Canada, I was coached into specifying "Air Mail"... that stuff arrives much faster. That actually does sound funny here in the states, because that terminology went away about 30 years ago here.
    My Canadian buddy who told me this said something about packages falling off of the dogsled sometimes if you ship by Ground ... :rofl:

    I wish that was so but what I meant was its been 4 weeks since they started looking for it. The tracking number says it was being returned to sender Oct26 since recipient not at the address. The name and address is right on my reciept so its a mystery. Thats the last thing they can tell me.
