I have a trade where my trade partner has not recieved his cards after a period of about 3 1/2 weeks, Cards were mailed from Alberta Canada to Idaho USA. Have done trades to the US a few times and this has never happened to me before so I'm not sure how to resolve this. This Thurday will be 4 weeks since I sent off the cards. Has this happened to any of you before and how did you resolve the issue? Not sure how to move forward with this. Any advice would be appreciated. THANKS!!

I'd be patient a little more. I've had trades to Canada go this long. Don't be shocked if you receive your cards back from the post office for some reason. This is usually the reason for a delay like this. Craig

I have waited for months for trades to arrive at either destination. All but one has. Patience is key.

Agree, patience is key. A third of my trades continue to be international, mainly to Canada, and nothing's really changed since I started trading with partners up north going back a few years.

I've had trades within the US on both sides take this long! USPS is really hit or miss right now so I agree with everyone else here.

Only lately has it been that long for me (I am in Canada too). I think I have one or two out now that are over three weeks. Then again, a couple months ago I sent one to Hawaii that only took nine days or something. But I also have one stuck in Jamaica NY since April that I am hoping finds its way north one day too! Maybe mail should subcontract to Amazon!

I'm mostly organizing over adding right now. |

The postal system is give and take. Im in the US. I have had trades take a few days to about 6 weeks going to Canada. So be patient it will get there eventually

I would be patient as well. I just received a trade from a domestic member that took the USPS two months to deliver. On the international front, some cards that I purchased from a seller in Finland took over 4 months to arrive.
Patience is a virtue when it comes to the USPS.

I have had two issues from CAN this summer. It has been frustrating.
