A vendor sent me an item on October 2, from British Columbia. The posting was described as "registered/insured." I still am awaiting its arrival, here on Long Island in New York. Do you think that I am going to have to give this item up for lost?

    3 weeks is a little long, but I've had shipments go longer. No telling how long it sits at the border. Not sure what Canadian Post guidelines are, but for USPS you cannot file an insurance claim before 30 days anyway.

    Make sure you pay attention to timeframe limitations on claims due to your payment method (credit card, PayPal, etc.). You don't want to be out of luck just because you waited until the 46th day from payment to file a claim...

    Some shipping time takes alot longer than used to be. My longest wait for a coin using letter post shipping from US to Canada is 5 weeks.

    LOL, 5 weeks for delivery a letter.

    If the item was insured, it should have a had a tracking number. PM the vendor and get the tracking number and then you can log on to Canada post and see where it is.

    Of course, it appears to arrive the day after my posting, but get a load of this:

    2006/10/05 11:10 International shipment has arrived in the destination country
    2006/10/04 08:52 International item has left Canada and is en route to destination
    2006/10/02 13:20 PORT COQUITLAM, BC Item accepted at the Post office

    It is tracked to the US border on 10/5. Talk about snail mail! 20 days enroute through the US! Still, given the presumed protection, it is a cheap price to pay.
