Canadian post is NOTORIOUS for this. I ordered a pair of wooden plugs (for my earlobes) a year ago, and it took two or so weeks to get them here. Ridiculous. Then, also last year, I did a "buy it now" on Ebay for a leather holster for my, now deceased, Palm Treo. I waited and waited, and emailed the seller. He swore it was on it's way. He sent me the tracking number, and I realized "CRAP! it's coming from Canada!" I had not noticed that when I purchased it. Had I, I would have purchased from someone else. Nothing against our candian craftsmen and vendors. But, due to my bad experiences with the postal service there, I try to avoid ordering from Canada if at all possible.
