Time it takes mail to get here to TV from Canada?

How long does it take mail from Canada to reach TV? I have been expecting a package from the Vancouver, BC area which according to the sender was mailed on Tuesday May 27, 2008??

Think she just sent it the regular small package Canadian mail?

Figure two days to get out of Canada; two days (or more) to clear American customs; one to two days to get here. A lot will depend on how well she has marked the customs label.

I've found it can take longer to a package to Canada than from. I've also mailed packages on the same day, one to a small town near Niagara Falls, Canada, and one to Denmark, Copenhagen -- the Danish package arrived 7 days earlier than the Canadian one!

...between personal mail/packages and "corporate" stuff.

In the past six months I have purchased two computers from Apple. In both instances the time from when I placed my order until delivery to my house here in TV was 5-1/2 days.

That doesn't sound so extraordinary until one understands that my order was placed with the Apple Store Online, transferred to a factory in Shanghai, China where my order was entered and the computer(s) manufactured, then placed on a FedEx plane bound for Anchorage, Alaska. The packages cleared U.S. Customs in Anchorage, then were shipped to Orlando, placed on a truck and delivered to my house. All that in 5-1/2 days!

I guess when I hear that personal packages can take 4-5 days to make it from British Columbia to here, I'm more than surprised.

On our ebay sales to Canada, the packages are delivered surprisingly quickly--and often at about the same cost as shipping within the U.S. Go figure! I couldn't say exactly how many days, though....

Tal, we're still using mule trains for mail delivery here in Canada. So add in some extra time for that.
