Trouble in shipping to Canada, any and all help needed.

[fumbduck]

On 3/25/03, i sent a package to bangbangben in Nova Scotia, Canada. THe package has still not got there.

Here is the scanned information from the sending. Here! Help!


On the receipt there is a few numbers, like the USPS number, the customs number, etc, anyone know if i can do anything with those?


I am really suffering some downtime as he was waiting for the arrival of my parts before he sent his.

I swore before that I would never ship to canada again because this is not the first time i've had bullsh!t like this happen, but he had good heat and had exactly what i wanted.

ANY HELP AT ALL IS APPRECIATED! Is there anyone I can call? anyone with experience in these matters?

Thanks!

you can contact customs postal and give them the tracking number. it might have been held for examination.

Give it a few more days. I've had USPS packages take up to 3 weeks to get to me.

Bingo. Call customs & bitch. Slap some "time-sensitive" stickers on it next time and enclose official-looking documents.

that would be canada customs, postal division.

From outside Canada, call:
(204) 983-3500 or (506) 636-5064 (long-distance charges apply)

tell them you would like the number for customs postal in nova scotia, and if they don't have the number, then ask for toronto's custom's postal division, who *should* have it.

Ah yes, just regular air mail parcel post....all the way up to nova scotia? Frankly I'm not surprised.

Air mail packages make it to southern ontario extremely quickly. I'd say all mine have been 4 days on average....but nova scotia? Map of canada. Nova scotia is up there on that island...chances are the package came to toronto first, then made its way up there. I wouldn't start worrying for another week frankly :Q Courier would've made it much quicker (at a greater cost of course)
