- Uhh... this is refering to "CANADA" pal. And for those of you who have
- never dealt a lot with Canada post... "nothing is too long".
-
- A good example is a simple xmas parcel that I sent from Atlantic Canada
- to Western Canada. It was mailed November 27th, and it got there Dec 21st!
- (4 weeks to get there... and I live in the same country as the
- destination!??) That is pathetic.
-
- Besides all this... we have never heard what dilevery service was used in
- either case. Regular mail, or whatever. That makes the big difference here!
-
- If anyone is in doubt, why not PHONE the person!?? You DID get the phone
- number of someone you are sending valued equipment to, right!??
