Congratulations. Have you notified the Guinness Book of Records yet?

I did consider it, bearing in mind that it's taken 4 weeks to get here from Kansus, but I think there may be other packages that have taken longer.

Nice thought though

:p

Re: Dear Canada Post, We Need To Talk.

I ordered a cheapo tablet with free delivery.

Expected delivery date was the 10th.

Actual delivery date, today, the 4th. :thumbup:

Re: Dear Canada Post, We Need To Talk.

Friday 31st March. Ordered TV from Best Buy (on-line). Two actually.
Chose delivery by Canada Post because it was free.

That evening I received the tracking numbers from Best Buy.

Tracked them Monday, delivery due Thursday.

Delivered on Thursday.

Re: Dear Canada Post, We Need To Talk.

Occasionally they get it right! :)

Just the one set up so far - works great. Bit of reorganising for the other.

Unbelievable value for $150. :thumbup:
Bloody hell....just discovered it's now $230!!

Re: Dear Canada Post, We Need To Talk.

A parcel was sent to us via priority mail from Switzerland. Sent Jan 31st, arrived April 7th! It was baby clothing for our daughter, and barely fits her!

Re: Dear Canada Post, We Need To Talk.

Was there any tracking to see where the hold up was?

My eldest daughter is still awaiting her birthday present from my her aunt in the UK. It was posted 3 weeks before her birthday in March by airmail. Still no sign of it!

Re: Dear Canada Post, We Need To Talk.

Found this on another forum, someone wrote to Canada Post to inquire about the lengthy delays, especially for items coming in from Asia.

Spoiler:

Re: Dear Canada Post, We Need To Talk.

Small package posted last Thursday (6th April) in London England, arrived here today.

Letter posted 23rd March in London England, not yet arrived here.

Letter posted 27th March in York England, arrived 3rd April here.

There's no rhyme or reason to it...
