    Default It's Probably Easier to Sneak a Mexican Across the Border...

    ...than it is to get a few goddamn pieces of pipe and a valve shipped from Canadia to the US. I do believe it's been three, yes THREE weeks since Mr. X put that stuff in the mail, and USPS still says "origin post preparing shipment". WTF? Assholes. Incompetent, useless, lazy pieces of bureaucratic shit!

    That sucks dude, I shipped him a piece of SS wire mesh for a hop stopper and I think he got it in under a week, IIRC.

    Is it the US side holding it up or the Cananadins?

    So, first you need to get yourself a Mexi-canadian. Then, give him the pipes. The rest writes itself!

    It took a good week to week and a half just to get past the border/customs. No idea what's holding it up now, but it's definitely the USPS in some fashion.

    Welcome to what sucks the most about my job, we have more issues with Canada than any other country shipping stuff. Its annoying when customers need something in a set time, and it sits on a border city for weeks.

    I shipped a package from Backwater Kentucky to Canberra Australia in under 36 hours.
    Am I the only one here who gives a SHIT about the rules?

    think it was around $88 for Fedex. It was for Ibm Drive Trays that IBM AUS said "DO NOT EXIST", so I bought them off ebay, a dozen of them. so it only added $7 each to the items that cost me $25 each, and I could finish a $500K SAN installation.

    a very important distinction =)
    as for the shipping it took me 3 weeks to get a watch from china that i bought on ebay. so if it takes longer then that from a non communist country then something is wrong.
