open your mind a little too much and your brain will fall out.

unless it was sent by surface mail, that's way too long.

if it was sent surface, then you could be waiting for up to 3 months depending on where it's coming from.

depends on when the item was shipped (if it was even shipped yet)
what the shipping method is
if the package is stuck at customs waiting for clearance

Bought some mouse pads from Japan years back, they took about 2 weeks I think. Could have been less, not sure. Def was less than 3 though.


I have ordered several times screen protectors from Europe and they always seem to take around a week and a 1/2 to 2 weeks to arrive I think.

it all depends where and how it was shipped.

I've got things within a week.

Other stuff have taken 2 months.

I had a watch I bought get stuck in Customs for almost 2 months before it was finally released.

It most likely is being inspected by customs depending on what it is..

I've shipped all kinds of stuff from overseas - Hong Kong, Germany, even Bulgaria. Shortest time I've seen is about 4 days (from Hong Kong), longest I've seen is exactly 3 weeks and I'm pretty sure it was a Canada Post fuck-up because all I ever saw was a "final notice" in my mailbox (meaning the motherf*ckers never even tried to deliver it).

You didn't say where you ordered it from, but most of these countries actually have excellent mail delivery and the problem is almost always either with customs or Canada Post.

Do you not have a tracking number? I'd be very leery of overseas shipping without one.

I once ordered tickets from the Czech Republic for Sensation White. I had to wire them money and it took about 1.5 weeks to ship it here! It was actually really fast. Half of that time was because of Canada Post lol

Gotta love them!

I am currently experiencing the same problem. Thankfully, its not an costly item.

It seems that when purchasing online patience is a must. This is my biggest pet peeve with online purchasing. Paying for something and not having in my hands immediately is something i will have to get used to.
