DConNexus | Anyone else been experiencing a long delay in getting cards or cards getting to someone? |
Goaswerfraiejen | I have, in one of my trades to the US. But I had a few other trades to the US at the same time, and had no problems there. So I assume that my package got stuck at the border (or worse, the sorter) for being oversized. Stuff does occasionally take a little while to clear the border. Or do you have something else in mind?

Bagbokk | Need more info. Where did you send to/where are you expecting cards from.

gaeacradle | Random thing happens sometimes. Once, it took nearly a month for me to trade within the state of TX. Normally, the letter would be delivered in TWO days. |
DConNexus | One is to/from Canada and the other Maryland.
|
Zakman86 | Canada just takes forever. |
Goaswerfraiejen | Shipping to and from Canada is pretty unpredictable. How long has it been? __________________ "I have heard the mermaids singing, each to each.

Bagbokk | US<->US should take ~3 days, up to a week maximum. Any more than that and something has gone wrong somewhere. Most (99%) of the time, it's OK and will either reach its destination or get sent back to you eventually, but you might have to be prepared for it actually getting lost. US<->Canada can either take a week or forever, and it's been more on the forever side recently. I don't know what's up with that, since it really shouldn't take longer for it to cross that border than it does to send to Asia or Europe.

Well, there was the postal strike here a little while ago, so that slowed things down. But that backlog should have been dealt with. It's always been hit or miss from the US to Canada. I can't imagine why either.

comboking | Unfortunately, I'm having the same issue. Sent w/ tracking to Fl on 8-15 and received his in 2 days. Not sure if it's a Postal issue or just the fact I sent w/ SigDC and he hasn't signed for it yet. The usps site isn't giving me much info. |

Major depots like Toronto still have backlog going on. The amount of mail that gets processed through locations like these is enormous so playing catchup with the old stuff and doing the new stuff will take some time. I've noticed the packages I've been sending by Canada Post over the last few months have been 1-5 days slower than quoted. Currently Canada Post isn't offering their time guarantees (or at least weren't last I checked) because of the backlog. Once this all gets sorted out I'd imagine shipping shouldn't take very long. |
rockondon | I live in canada and I've done about a dozen trades to the US in the last two weeks. I think every one of my shipments arrived in 5-6 days, including to states that are on opposite sides of the continent from me. Oddly enough, its taking about 2 weeks to receive though. Right now I'm waiting on a mana drain to arrive - he told me he received 9 days ago. __________________ |My Angels~My P9 l""|"\__, |~~My #1 Angel~~l'_|'_|_|) |(@)(@)""***|(@)(@)**|(@)
