BUYERS BEWARE! Western Canada shipping delays!

[LoHo33]

As many of you might of already of known, all shipments from the US to western canada go directly to Vancouver where's it's sorted then shipped to is destination. The USPS no longer ship packages to their respective cities in western canada. This has caused huge delays.

Here's my shipment you guys can see for yourself, It's frustrating so see items take forever to get sorted!

Item Number: 77122953783

Any of you Albertians experiencing the long delays?

Someone shipped something to me on the 9th.. and its still not here (from Maine to Edmonton) I dunno if thats longer than avg or not

[Weapon_R]

Does this effect shipping that is going to the U.S.?

i ordered an anime boxset from eBay (Early September) and it was sent directly from factory in China ... still haven't received it as of yet.

It's either been lost or super backlogged.
the ebay seller and i have been racking out brains trying to wait this thing out; he might just have to send me another one :P

I've ordered two items from the USA in the past few weeks. All have arrived no problem and without delay. Shipped via UPS and also USPS.

Been waiting almost three weeks for my By-Pass Valve from Texas, and now waiting on a clutch, that was supposed to be 2-3 day delivery, not its been 5. (USPS) All it says it thst it left US yesterday....

I ordered 2 things from 2 different companies in August and have still yet to receive anything.

So USPS no longer ships them to western Canada at all? WTF's the deal here. I just ordered more stuff earlier this month and its getting shipped through USPS!

Shocks from Washington state ordered Oct 19th still not here...I should have just driven there and got them myself...

[?????]

Yeah long delays for sure. I ordered something from ebay in august and i recieved it 2 weeks ago. Thats more then 2 months. Goodluck man.

[QuasarCav]

Thank god I'm not the only one.

I've been waiting since oct 8th for a HDD from Atlanta. It's really pissing me off that it is taking so long. I'll drive to fucking Vancouver and pick it up!!!

Underdrive pulley of mine showed up last week. Ship date was sept 30th

I ordered a clutch and BOV from the US and it was shipped through the regular mail system and it arrived after 9 days. It was stuck in customs for 7 of those 9 days though which was a bummer, but it got here so SOME stuff is getting through with relatively short delays.

What Canada Post says (On Oct 18):

I don't know what you mean about USPS not shipping to respective cities in the west causing the delay. You can still ship by USPS, but it will sit in customs due to the backlog. UPS right now is the way to go, even though they usually suck.

[djfob]

Yeah it's hit or miss, I ordered stuff 2 weeks ago and I recieved them a few days ago but stuff I ordered in Oct is still at customs. Exchange rate is so good that I'm willing to wait.

[buh_buh]

thats fucked that some of you guys are getting your stuff that you ordered in October and mine was from August
What a piss off.

hopefully it was actually sent

I heard about the backlogs, but I've had 3 packages come through in the last month. None of them took longer than 8 business days from the date of shipping, all went USPS. It must be hit or miss. I've been lucky I guess.
Got an air filter box, set of tail lights, and a shift boot, 2 of the 3 were EBay sales.

Well it was from 2 different companies, so I think its the shipping..... at least I hope so haha.

I heard UPS is on strike now as well. Might only be in Ontario...found this out at work cause we send a lot of packages to Ontario via UPS.

If UPS is on strike nationwide that's gonna slow down a lot of people's orders as well.
