My PWE only takes 3-5 days to get up north. I sent trades out Monday. The ones to Canada has arrived, the ones to Wisconsin and Washington still haven't arrived. Over the past month my shipments to England and Canada are faster than three states over. The USPS is slow nowadays.

I actually have a Kijjijji purchase (Canada's Craig's List) that is is 4 weeks since purchase that has not yet arrived. And that was from Hamilton to where I live just north-west of Toronto. Everything is slow. A Pwe Trade I made with Scott (Bravesfan1) he got mine in a week...going on 3rd week and nada arrived from him yet. And trust me its not Scott's fault. It is all just screwed up.

Last weeks mail, on Tuesday I recieved an envelope from Mark (Tennessee) (mztenko? sorry lol) and C2C figured it as 42 days I think, Wednesday I get two from Mark (Colorado) (avsbruins) and 16 days total. The Friday before I got one from Teresa (California) sent on April 28th, 24 days total. So you figure it out. LOL

PS they are still sealed as I WILL post in the PIF forum I promise!!!!!

What's the best/cheapest way to mail to Canada from US? Is it my understanding that a bubble mailer is going to cost $20+? Is the preferred way to send multiple thin PWE keeping them under 1/4"? ------------------------------- danmarinocards.com $ BUYING Marino I Need $

I use 9-pocket pages in business envelopes. Keep it no thicker than 1/4". Usually costs me $1.90 depending on weight.
