Post to the UK
Hi guys,
On average, how long has it usually taken for something you've sent from Canada to reach the UK via regular mail?
I sent something two weeks ago which hasn't been received and I think I'm going to re-send.
Cheers!

I find it takes 2 weeks to leave Canada and then a day to get to the final destination within the UK.

Re: Post to the UK
I tend to get things about a week after they are sent to UK. Other than when either country has post problems has it taken more than 8 days, I think. I tend to allow upto 10 when posting from UK

Regular mail (not air mail) is 4 to 6 weeks.

Usually a week......
From the UK to Canada though, I have received packages within 3-4 days of them being sent

Re: Post to the UK
Stuff coming this way is extremely variable and subject to the whims of Canada Post. I'm on my company's mailing list for all our stuff. I know when things are posted, I usually know when they arrive in Canada because they normally get postmarked here, and I know when I receive them. Letters typically float around in Canada for a good week before I finally get them.
