With this pandemic, anyone experiencing slower shipping times? Waiting 3 weeks now for a card from Stoney Creek (an hour away from me) and Vancouver.
 
Oh yeah way slower, but fast as well, I waited 2 weeks for a package from Calgary, then Sunday I ordered from maple leaf sports in Calgary and got it Wednesday, but yes in general it’s taking way longer, but under the circumstances I figured as much
 
Things have actually be coming quicker for us? FedEx and UPS, and sometimes the postal service, have been spot on or quicker then their stated estimated days of delivery.

Interesting it's different up in Canada. Maybe it's regional for me as well, and other parts of the US are slowed? I imagine somewhere like NYC is not running as smoothly.

I'd say it's most likely regional in both countries. Different levels of government taking different steps/precautions at different times means that some areas are running as they normally would, whereas others have reduced hours or safety measures implemented.

In my experience so far, everything from Ontario and Quebec has been arriving relatively quickly. Anywhere else, I'm just happy when it shows up.
 
USA TO Canada
March 28th - California (12 USD) shipping) thru Vancouver, here April 3rd
March 26th - Probstein (25 USD shipping) thru Montreal, here April 6th
April 6th / April 13th MAILED - Virginia (11.52 USD shipping) thru Chicago PENDING

Canada
March 30th - Gatineau to Cornwall Registered Mail, here March 31st
March 27th - Winnipeg TO Cornwall Expedited Mail, here TODAY (April 16th)!

Europe / Asia
March 27th - Slovakia to Canada - PENDING
 
Norm, I'd venture that Slovakia package got turned back.

I received yesterday an Expresspost letter that was mailed April 7. So it's goofy at best right now.
 
Our Post Office sorting facility was shut down for 2 weeks in the midst of all of this. I'm told that the facility is so slow cause they don't have full staff on. I'm waiting on so much stuff and to give you an idea I just got a package this week that was sent on March 13
 
Some stuff I have sent out in last month by regular mail arrived quickly. I have one item that I sent out in mid March but that has not arrived yet (Hamilton to BC). I asked the buyer to give it until Friday. I got a feeling I am giving a refund which sucks - no card, no money.
 
An order coming to me in the United States from Canada took about 4.5 weeks. When I received it, I sent the seller a message letting them know how long it took, in case they had other customers inquiring about delivery times. I just received two from Canada today - one shipped on 3/30, and the other on 4/9, so it varies greatly. These days, a little patience and understanding is going to go a long way!

It doesn't help matters that it seems many more of my orders are sent without tracking these days. (Presumably due to high cost)
 
Mail is definitely moving slower, but it's still moving. Just got a couple of things from the USA that took about 3 weeks.

Have patience, it'll show up.
 
I have NOT noticed any delays, in mail which normally has tracking, to my USPS postal outlet box BUT unfortunately I have no access to IT, border closed!
On HOLD for now!
 
It's delayed big time... Sent an Xpress Post from Alberta to Burnaby, BC and it took 14 days to arrive.

Canada to USA have taken 3 weeks to US destinations, and vice versa from USA to Canada.

I'm just glad the mails are moving, slow is fine for me than work stoppage.
 
Kinda sad that on March 23 you could ship cards to USA from Finland. Less than a week later it changed to no mail anywhere except China. Now I have an open case on eBay. Guess I'll end up refunding.

But as a whole, no mail from North America to me for almost a month.

You can still ship to US but no to Canada. :beer:
 
Well, I ordered about 12 items when EBay did the coupon on trading cards. Everything that went out First Class/Tracking arrived all at the same time, about 4 days later. Looking at tracking history, it looks like it's taking a little longer to travel than usual, but once it;s in the local depot, they're getting it out fast.
2 items weren't sent First Class mail, and I'm still waiting on those, but it hasn't been extremely long yet.
