well i'm just saying b/c i would think that since it's a small package it wouldn't be that bad. and it's just annoying b/c since he told me he mailed it i haven't heard anything from him since them. he replies to nothing

you gotta watch out for those sneaky canadians with their floppy heads and beady eyes. their country is just our country's hat. but in all seriouzness, I think you shouldnt start to worry until maybe 3-4 weeks.

Shipped via what?
Ups, Fedex, Usps, Dhl, Purolator

It can take up to 14 business days if you selected regular ground service. That's if it's not delayed at customs then it could easily take up to 25 days before it arrives at your door.

When did the seller ship the item?

If he shipped it on the 8th then it's been 11 business days so far. Don't be suprised that you don't have it yet I waited over a month to get a exhaust part from the US due to customs delays.

i heard of some friends buying stuff from there and in some cases it takes a month and a half to get here because of customs.It all depends on how busy or "lazy" they are right now. I would give it some time before u start to worrie. **** some times i have bought stuff from one state over and it take them 3 weeks to ship it here

If you ever want a lesson in how to be th absolute laziest pieces if shiet just make a trip to border. I have spend countless hours in the compound waiting for those assmongers to lift a finger and clear my ppw. 7,8,9 hours for them to take 1 sec literaly to look to see whats in my trailer. US CUSTOMS=POS=DELAY until they decide to look at your package. So most cases blame US customs for there super slow work ethic for the reason why your package is late.

yea takes forever to get stuff shipped in and out of canada. the only fast way i have is to ship it to a broker close to the border, pick it up and bring it across myself. i have done that a couple times, mind you i live 5 minutes from the border so thats an option for me.
