Gremlin - Canadian Shipping update

submitted almost 10 years ago by gremlinjuice

As most know, we opened up the Canadian shipping option over the Columbus Day sale. We have sent a few that direction so far, and just looking at three tracking numbers this morning... USPS is two for three.

Two of the packages are just now crossing the border after a week of travel (but they did cross the border, so there is that)

The third and the closest to us (I could drive it there in a couple hours) finally arrived today after a week of travel... to Tampa Florida. About as far from Vancouver BC that you can get! I hope to see the next update at LEAST back in Seattle.

Talking to other vendors, we're not alone. This past week has been a nightmare for shipments. They show as "accepted" and then nothing for days. They are moving, but the scanning system is not updating or showing movement.

Ugh. Sorry, didn't mean to turn this into a rant. I just wanted to `~~update~~ warn those ordering from across the border, it's not going to be an overnight delivery.

Super awesome place to order stuff from. Had my stuff at my door in Fort Lauderdale, FL within 2 days of placing the order.. Great service guys keep it up! I ordered about a $100 order and everything was perfect (except for a broken syringe). Will be placing my second order soon!

The only thing we're avoiding putting on the site is Nicotine, since that is what states and customs target as tobacco products.

It's pretty normal for it to take about a week. I think it's mostly due to only so many locations that fly to Toronto, at least for Eastern Canada. Customs clearance adds one day.

Sweet. I've been waiting for this! Expect my order in a couple days:) Whenever I order outside canada I expect delays and if they say a week and it takes 2, so be it. Order local if you are that concerned about shipping times.
