- Or it would seem there's a border in there to deal with. -- nm - Reagen Nov 3, 11:27 3
  - Yes, there is a border. - Old Antarctic Explorer Nov 3, 11:34 2
    - you think people are lining up at the border to *mail* things from the US? - Andie Nov 3, 11:40 1
      - Canadians who order a lot of things online might have US PO Boxes because a lot of US shippers won't mail to Canada, *that* could be why - Andie Nov 3, 11:41
I sent my parents a package in Niagra Falls on the US side, they drove from the CA side and picked it up. - lileve Nov 3, 11:22 1
- If you know someone in CA that lives near the border they could drive it over then reship it. -- nm - lileve Nov 3, 11:25
With the proximity of the election, I imagine they're being cautious -- nm - budice Nov 3, 11:17 3
- huh? -- nm - loosilu Nov 3, 11:18 2
  - the package is going *into* the united states. Customs and border patrol could be on high alert for various mail-bourne weapons. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 3, 11:20 1
    - usually for items that are being sent TO candidates, I would think. -- nm - loosilu Nov 3, 11:21
As little as 7 days, as much as a month. - David Nov 3, 11:16
I've had it take that long too. -- nm - loosilu Nov 3, 11:16
a week to a week and a half. unless it was stopped by US customs. Then.... good luck. -- nm - Andie Nov 3, 11:15
I'd had it take that long before. - Reagen Nov 3, 11:15
Sometimes, it can take that long. Usually depends on what it is. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 3, 11:15
forever, they send the packages on moose-back -- nm - decline Nov 3, 11:15 1
