How long for a package from Texas to Alberta, Canada?

[LDO]

I sent a package to Moparfan426 about a week and a half ago. It's still not there. Time to worry? FYI it had no tracking number or insurance. It was just a resin engine out of an airplane kit. Not much value, but I certainly don't have any more of them.

I sent from Phoenix AZ to Dukefan69 and he got it but it was almost 3 weeks to a month. I was worried too. It seems like Canada's mail moves slower

I wouldn't worry yet, Lee. I have a regular trade partner from that other forum that lives in Edmondton, and it usually takes a week to week and a half from WV to there. There was even one we did that took almost two weeks for him to get his end, and almost three weeks for his to find its way to my house.

I've sent stuff to Dukesfan and To members from Texas and California from here in the Chicago Burbs and I swear Dukesfan got his stuff in less than a week, yet Tx Rat and the member in Cali (sorry, I'm having a brain fart on who that was, but it was the Calsonic R32 that ended up with a broke or bent A-Pillar IIRC) I want to say the one sent to Canada took 5 days, but the ones sent to Cali and Texas took 7+ DAYS

Oh, by the way, even though we can't get a delivery comformation tracking number on trades going to our neighbors to the north, I found out today at my post office, they can track it through the customs form. There is a number on the form, and on the small green form, PS Form 2976, the post office you sent the package from holds the custom form for 30 days. For anything over 1 pound, I also found out they have a new, much larger form, Form 2976-A, that you will also have a copy of. The lady at my post office said that this tracking is ONLY available to them, you can't look online like the normal tracking number. I'm not sure how detailed the tracking is through the custom form numbers, but if you get really worried, go to the post office you sent from before the 30 days are up and see if they can give you any information.

I'm in Quebec and when I get stuff shipped from the USA first class mail it takes 2 to 4 weeks so I wouldn't worry yet.

I'm in the same boat.I sent my part of the trade 2 days after my partner sent his,he received my part of the trade a week ago and I'm still waiting. I think he posted his on the 2nd of July.

I live in Canada, and I find anything mailed to me from the US by regular mail, is 2 to 3 weeks. There are exceptions, earlier and later. Shortest was 3 days, longest was 5 weeks. May depend on where it gets processed, and whether they are quarantining inter-country mailings.

HI, Just remember one word "customs". Packages set in customs inspection houses for days before they move on to there final destination. Steve
