I have no idea why Canadians are taking so long to receive their stuff..... Are the customs clamping down due to the terrorist scares or for duties.
Back in March I ordered a couple cheap computer cables off e-bay. It's now been 95 days since I got the shipping notice and 60 days past their latest estimated arrival date. With a grand price total of $2.78USD, I'm not exactly worried if they never make it, but I have been in touch with the seller as per ebay's minimum policies. This was the last response I got from them:
"Dear Customer, Thank you for the purchase! We are writing this message to inform you of the current Asia to Canada shipping issues. Please note: - 1.Canada Post has reduced its number of staff handling parcel inspection, while the volume of import parcels is increasing, resulting in severe mail backlog. 2.Starting from Aug, 2015, Canada Post turned off all destination tracking events for Registered Airmail which leaves the sellers unable to track the logistic details. As always, we make efforts to ensure your parcel will be processed within promised handing time. However, we apologize for any inconvenience due to the post office and custom issues. We appreciate your patience and understanding. Sincerely, xxxxxx"
May or may not be relevant to the delay some of the other Canadians have been experiencing.
