Hi,

Someone sent out a Priority Post small package/envelope from Arlington Texas to come here to me in the SE corner of BC.

Sent: Monday Nov 6.

Thursday Nov. 16th today, and it ain't here YET!

Is the package coming by dogsled, or what???

Anyone from Texas ever sent a priority post from Texas to Canada, especially BC, and how long did it take???

Thanks

I have sent all types of mail from letters to small and large packages to B.C. and elsewhere in Canada many times. A letter takes 5-6 days. For the others, it depends upon the declared value. If it's worth less than $50.00cdn the small package will arrive in 2-3 weeks. Large packages and items that are dutiable first go to Montreal where they are opened and inspected, and possibly stolen. This very slow process takes 5-6 weeks. Using Fedex or UPS doesn't help, the Postal workers in Montreal still demand their due.
