Keep fingers crossed Anyone having snail mail problems?

[mofo88]

Hey guys I sent my Beckett grading order via Canada post EXPRESS it went out on Sept 25th and it shows arrived in country of destination office on Sept 29th. It;s now October the 4th and no delivery confirmation yet. Keeping my fingers crossed as there is ALOT of high end stuff in their one of them being a Crosby Ice RC /99. Please arrive . Anyone have any words of wisdom that'll make me feel better?


Thanks!

A couple of things to keep in mind:
1.It's a customs thing....
2. Two of those days were from the weekend...
3. It's a minimum of 24hrs from the time it's actually signed for until the website is updated.....just be patient....you're dealing with two postal service, neither of which is known for their expedious service.....

FYI, I had an ExpressPost that took 3 weeks from the time it hit the border..... 5 days is nothing.....

BTW, let me know if you're interested in working out a cash/trade deal for the card I inquired about....

Expresspost from Canada to the US is worthless. You're better off sending by regular mail, it's just as fast (no matter what they tell you), you save the $9.00 fee, and the tracking is useless once it hits the border. CP cannot promise delivery confirmation unless the US postal service makes sure it happens. I know all this because I used it myself thinking it would be faster and safer, and it disappeared once it hit the border. Luckily, all that was in it was a money order and not a rare card so I could file a claim and get my money back. Hopefully your deal works out better, but you can't always believe what CP says.

Darryl,

Rob's absolutely right. The chain of custody with Xpresspost is worthless. If you're sending high-end to the USA, go courier - FedEx, Purolator, heck even the Clowns at Brown are ok.

I definitely agree that Expresspost is sometimes just as slow as regular mail but what a lot of people don't know is that its GUARANTEED to arrive in 5 days (I am pretty sure its 5 days) and if it doesn't arrive within the 5 days you can get all your money back for the shipping... I've done it a couple times where the package took a couple weeks to arrive and I got my money back... Just to let everyone know...
