Can't comment on that, this was the first time it happened for me, and I absolutely needed those door panels...so I ended up arranging with the seller to ship it to my uncle in Phoenix, who drives up to Alberta a couple times per year. Shipping the panels to Phoenix? About $18. Shipping the same thing to Canada? About $59. :evil:

Talk about Ben Dover and Phil McCreviss. :shock:

Up to 2 weeks for me, I don't find it any longer than normal.

I've found that generally shipping is expensive either way but as long as you know what you're in for, then its no biggie.

Flat rate is $12 to $24 from anywhere in the US to here in Ontario using small or med flat rate boxes. $12 is first class, $24 for expedited.

Shiping is so expensive now! I shipped a set of NIP arm mounts out of the US in a padded envelop and it use to be in the mid 2 dollar range and now it is just barely under 7 dollars for a small little package like that for first class.

Yay, a possible emergency rate hike:

The post office lost $16 billion last year and expects to lose $6 billion this year. The prices for us keep going up, so where's all this money going exactly? :roll:

The Postal Service is quickly moving down a path that leads to becoming a massive, long-term burden to the American taxpayer. Exactly.

CEO's.

Just like almost anytime there's a mass-layoff at a company with some financial problems, a bit later it turns out the CEO got a raise for helping the company down the crapper. :roll:

Personally I think those people should be put in prison.
