Customs is still horribly behind. I ordered an item on Ebay September 29. The seller shipped on October 4th via USPS Airmail.

I just got the package today. That's a long time for air mail!!!!

You're sure customs was the hold up? Not like... the post office sending your package to the Ivory Coast?

Customs received the item October 8th. It left Customs on November 12th.

Maybe it got kicked into a closet or something.

I've bought 3 things over ebay and I've had no customs delays.

All of these things were purchased in te last month.

What happened was......... Canada Customs had 5 cities to handle international packages (Vancouver, Calgary, Winnepeg, Toronto & Montreal) Well they closed down Calgary & Winnepeg ......... so they are backed up

Last month Canada Customs said they will take care of the problem in 1 month....... we shall see since I just ordered something from the states :p

Cheers,
