What is the etiquette here for cards that never arrive? I made a trade to Canada and on the other side cards were sent out a month ago tomorrow. My end arrived weeks ago an I had a few other trades to Canada going around the same time which arrived with no issues. Trader has like 25 feedback all positive but unfortunately some nice cards will be lost on my side which I was really excited to be getting. Not really sure what to do. First time I've never had cards not show up

Are you in contact with your trading partner? If they are responding to messages, I would give it some time. The postal service is CRAZYYYYYYY these days.

I sent a message through our trade but never received a reply. So I sent a regular message this time so we'll see what happens

Not unusual in my experience for trades to Canada to take 5+ weeks.  I don’t even get concerned for domestic trades until we hit the 6 week mark.  My advice-give it some more time.  

USPS is crazy right now, just completed a trade sending 2 PWE's.  one arrived in a few days the other arrived a week and a half later?!?!

USPS has been a challenge lately.  I think almost all of the traders on here do send the cards and unfortunately, USPS makes some mistakes.  I've had it happen to me (sending and receiving) a few times now.  Fortunately, I'm not doing a lot of high-value trades, so I chalk it up to honest errors.

If the cards I'm sending don't show, I try to make it up somehow with replacement cards.  It's not an expectation that I have on the receiving side.

I sent out my end of a trade to Canada 6 weeks ago and it still hasn't reached its destination or updated as received. Sent trade partner a message and still haven't received a reply.

I got one the guy in Canada received his cards around the 10th of April. I still haven't received mine, I am not worried until the 2 month point. Even then I always say lets let it sit for a week once we contact each other. In over 500 trades on here, I have had 1 never get to me and 1 that the other person never received. Both were taken care between the other person and me.

My last Canadian trade set a new personal record for me......it took 53 days to receive!

It was a nice surprise when it finally arrived. Kinda forgot about it.

I've had some wonderful trades with our friends north of the border, and I'm always happy to get an offer from a Canadian member. But, I'm always nervous because it always seems like it takes forever for my cards to arrive. I don't want anyone to think I wouldn't mail any cards I promised to send.
