I invite you to READ my posts before quoting them and commenting.

Since you like bullet points:
* I stated packages received from UK was very fast, from my experience, on numerous occasions (never signed any of them).
* Packages sent to Germany often take a long time and get lost.
* I too have lost a LOT of money in the past year when packages 'go missing'.

Honestly we can play this lame game all day and night, my point is that its NOT normal to have such delays. I have been lucky lately *knock on wood* with packages, and most of my issues are once packages are handed to Canada Post after they clear custom. It doesnt matter from where it comes, or the size, once its in Canada Post hands, it changes dimension.

I'm not trying to argue with you mate, you will see that i have a LOT of issues with UPS/Fedex and their ridiculous charges + packages vanishing (2 years ago my Breitling vanished on it's way back from a C&I...) but from my experience, i never had such issues of waiting WEEKS for items comming from UK/USA.

Now this is WAY off topic from the OP's original question/issue. I think we can agree to disagree base on our personal experience. Let's bring this back on topic
