    And we could have gone for a beer.
    Canada post has two offerings for faster service. One is expedited the other express.
    The expedited quoted me 6-8 business days for $16 Xpress post 6 business days with full tracking is $27.
    expedited only tracks when the package is received at the post office and when it gets delivered. Xpress will track the package every stop along the way.
    There have been times when the expedited package gets there sooner than the xpress.
    Courier companies are another alternative but then there is brokarage fees.
    It has been a tough call for us as we try to be as economical as possible.
    I took the expedited route hoping for the 6 business day turn around. I lost.
    Sorry Adam....

    Not blaiming you, though I probably would have paid the extra $11 to know where the package was (or to not know you had shipped, I'm not sure which would be better ). At least I have a day to relax since I know it can't come tomorrow, then back to standing by the mail box first thing Monday morning.
