Is 1 month too long for mail to be delivered from US to Canada?

Q. My uncle sent me a brass flute as a birthday gift and he used USPS priority mail large flat box. According to USPS tracking it was sent on May 2nd out of Baltimore where he lives and was driven up to Jamaica Kennedy Airport about 2 days later on May the 4th. It then doesn't provide anything that happened next, so I'm assuming it either got lost by Canadian customs or at Kennedy airport.

Is 1 month too long for this shipment to arrive? Help?

A. A month is too long it should have arrived within two weeks even with along delay in Customs.Contact USPS if you have the tracking number and have them start a trace to see what happened.

Wlong does it take to get a camaro delivered?
Q. My brothers and I are thinking about buying a camaro for my dad as a birthday gift. A friend of mine told me it takes the dealership a while to get it delivered or something like that. His birthday is November 13. Will we have enough time to have it delivered? Or would it be better to get it delivered for Christmas?
Lol, I just saw my question says "wlong", I meant "how long". Still learning how to type using an iPhone lol

A. The only way to get one on that short of notice is to have it delivered directly to me.




I'm waiting...........

How long does economy USPS shipping take in the same state?
Q. I ordered something in ebay a couple of days ago from a power seller, and it's supposed to be a birthday gift. The birthday is on 2/20 and I'm afraid it may not arrive soon enough. The item is very light and is only 0.10 a pounds.

A. The first thing to do is to check with the seller about the shipping method they used (and if they shipped it already!). Sometimes an eBay seller may ship it via a different method than what they stated in the listing to save a bit of money. UPS, for instance, is usually cheaper than the PO if the package is over a few pounds. Also check to see where the seller is located. If they shipped it via PO, then if it went First Class (if it weighed 13 ounces or less this is very likely how it went out) it will take about 2-7 days, including Saturdays, for delivery. The further away the seller is from you, obviously, the longer it takes. If via Priority Mail, 2-4 days. If via UPS Ground or Fedex Ground, then it can take up to 5 business days (not including weekends). If the seller did not ship it yet, then you must tell them to ship it via Priority Mail because unless you live more than a state or two away from the seller and it went out First Class Mail, it's very possible that you will not receive it in time. If it goes via UPS or Fedex and you live across the country from the seller, you will also probably not receive it in time if it ships tomorrow. Also keep in mind that UPS and Fedex do their residential deliveries in the mid to late afternoon (they deliver to businesses in the morning) and this may be too late already on 2/20 if it does arrive that day. The fact that they are a Power Seller does not necessarily mean they are fast shippers, only that they sell a lot. Check the stated number of days to ship in the listing. Most sellers "promise" shipping within 3 days from when payment is received. Also, if you paid via an "e-check" through PayPal, then clearing the check may take a few days and a seller will not ship before the payment clears. Hope this helps and that you receive your purchase in time.
