I'm with the "reliable but slow" brigade on this issue. Mail to/from the UK is fairly timely, but the worst of all is mail from the US to Canada - takes far longer than overseas, even from states neighbouring Canada.

Well that's food for thought ![Blink](https://britishexpats.com/forum/images/smilies/blink.gif)
Drop shipping is a no brainer - I intend to manufacture the goods myself in our own business (suppose I could dropship to myself
).
This would only be part of the business outlet so I would not be totally dependant on the postal service for our survival - just as well huh!
Thank you all for your gracious replies and it gives me valuable info to plan my marketing strategy. Any more viewpoints also gratefully received.
Cheers
