US Canada Border shut down

[JlongHockey]

So I just bought a card from Canada... Will it not come due to the shut down? Would love to hear everyone’s thoughts. John

It's only for non-necessary human transit. Goods are not affected in any way.

Mail should still proceed as usual. People crossing the border to shop or for tourism will cease to be allowed in.

I know mail isn't affected by the border shut down right now, however, I've had a package incoming from the US (shipped on March 4th) and it still hasn't arrived.

The tracking for it just stalled a few days after it was shipped and the recent update was March 6th and no update since then. Has me a bit worried.

Edit: Here's the tracking for this shipment

That's really not that long all things considered with current events. I've dealt with thousands of packages across the border, to and from, and it can take 3-4 weeks sometimes. Is what it is, I wouldn't sweat it.

No worries, I have had some that have taken a month, especially if they come up the east coast and go into the Montreal sorting plant.

Thanks for the votes of confidence, guys!

Yeah, agree with above, I've had some packages take a few weeks at least to cross the border.

On a somewhat different note, after never having it happen before, I've had 2 packages in the last week or 2 arrive having been "inspected" at the border.

I guess that are taking extra precautions at this time with everything going on.
