Gee, how long does it take to ship a package from U.S......

to Canada?

Can anybody give me a clue, I've been waiting weeks for a few packages that should have arrived here.
I'm not impressed with UPS. :(

1. Do you have a tracking number?

I'm just asking because the last time an int'l package of mine was delayed, they had blamed the post office but in reality they hadn't shipped it. x(

2. Depends where in Canada, and where in the US

and if they were shipped UPS Ground, you've got a while to wait. No tracking numbers?

5. Contact the sender and get tracking numbers

If they don't have any, they don't have proof they actually sent it--which may be important if you never get the packages.

6. they already resent me something....

I've gotten stuff from them before, and they've offered to resend the packages, but I don't want them to do that.

They don't have tracking outside the country, apparently it's added costs(???).

3. If you have the package shipping information

Edited on Tue May-03-05 06:27 PM by Spinzonner

from the label, you may be able to track it via their web site.

7. about a week, sometimes not even that long

When I shipped to Canada, I did all of my shipping by United States Postal Service (priority mail) and it was pretty quick. I don't think UPS should take THAT much longer or who would use it?

If "several weeks" have passed, the item probably wasn't shipped. Very, very few items are lost in the mail in my experience. Well, OK, if it went UPS, I have had quite a large number lost by United Parcel Service, but you should have received a tracking number if it shipped with them.
