I ordered from a small etailer in British Columbia a couple of weeks ago, and I live in Massachusetts. I've never ordered from Canada before, but I've seen various comments here and elsewhere about (a) the Canadian postal service and (b) holdups with shipping beauty products.
How long should I expect it to take? I know I was charged for it on June 29th, so I assume they shipped it then as well. Is 2 weeks a long time, or a short time? By the way, I have no idea which shipping method they used...
Thanks

Generally airmail packages take about 2 weeks from BC to eastern US. Maybe the retailer choose the cheaper surface shipping and that can take 3-4 weeks although often it's faster than that.
US customs is generally pretty fast about clearing goods, unlike the Canadians, but if you ordered sunscreens with Mexoryl, that could be held up at the border. |

most of the times i have swapped the US person gets the package before I ever do. I think it's the canadian customs that's a pain to deal with, but since your package is going into the US it'll deal with US customs... |

Thanks. Well, given that it's not quite 2 weeks yet, I won't worry. No, there's no meroxyl or anything, so that's not an issue.
Thanks for the reassurance!
