Don’t misunderstand me, my dudes. I am not slagging First Strike; I am very much looking forward to getting those spinners wet and I have no issue with the delivery method.  Nor am I complaining about the length of delivery time. 5-10 business days via international mail is very realistic. Given the current economic and political climate, I am prepared for it to take longer. That’s why I ordered in August

I was just commenting on the number of stops it made, and how it seemed to hit every USPS distribution centre in California on its way to Canada.

I've been chatting with George about the shipping, and as expected, it's related to cost (Fedex is very expensive). He sent me a run down of the costs if people are interested.

USPS first class = $6.00 USD (up to 15oz of weight)
USPS priority mail = $26 (any weight that fits in the box)
UPS = $30 if under 3 pounds of weight, $75 for anything over 3 pounds.

"I will try to make UPS a shipping option to Canada on the website. In the meantime, if someone wants a package shipped to Canada with a different carrier (other than USPS), they can message me."

Hope that helps with anyone thinking of placing an order (which I'd recommend  )

I've always found that UPS, FedEx and Purolator to ve the ABSOLUTE worst for receiving a shipment. From what I understand its my town of residence and company delivery policy that makes things bad. Mission is near the end of the delivery zone. Ill often see "Out for delivery" for two or three days in a row. The BEST delivery standard once the product has hit Canadian soil has been Intertelicom Canada.

Trump is currently gutting USPS, Don't be surprised if cupcakes takes forever,

you will probably get your package after the november election lol

Note to sender - CA is not California (aka CA) in this case. Call them.

So you think they shipped it to Anaheim Lake, Canada?  Are you sure? I’ve never heard of this before. Do you have some inside info about a new hub for Canada Post?

[kmiller]

Never had any issue with USPS as I always prefer USPS services against other services for postal and shipping. USPS is strict with the rule. You won't be able to use the boxes to ship Media Mail, First-Class, or Parcel Post. Priority Mail is the default shipping method for many people who buy and sell on eBay.

Shop local. Anything from the excited states takes forever to get shipped to Canada because of this pandemic we are in right now. Lots of top quality products at your local tackle store or online in Canada.

Not sure about everyone else's experience, but Canada Post is incredibly slow right now for us. I've had someone sending me jigs in mid November from Maple Ridge, only to arrive just after Christmas. Nina sent a package to Denmark in late November, and it arrived in early February. I also have had at least a couple of parcels lost in the last few months.

We've seen packages sent between family and friends arrive in just a day or 2 after mailing. An item mailed from the Island by my sister in law was here the 2nd day after it was mailed. Similar to stuff I have gotten or sent to my sister in Grand Forks.

An LP I ordered for my son for Xmas took 5 weeks but that may have been because the ultimate source was in Kansas (3rd party sale via Amazon).

I've got some vice parts coming from Renzetti in Florida. I'll wait (and wait) to see how that goes. BTW $14 USD for 1st class on 2 springs and 2 thumb screws (it's sold as a kit) that cost $9 total. Will Biden cut postage?
