    Yes, it fucking got here. With no fucking invoice, so I'll be able to get it at the postoffice sometime late next week,
    The people at the post office here took pity on me, so I can pick it up today after giving them a copy of the invoice yesterday. With no extra cost (I could officially do this (get it through customs straight away) for around $60 extra)

    Part of the problem is that excluding parcels the mail system is so devalued nowadays that no one is in a hurry to rectify the situation.
    Postal lockout as in strikes?

    Canada Post was on a serviceable rotating strike when the higher-ups in that Crown corpoation thought they would bring governmental pressure to bear by locking the workers out.
    Seems to have worked too since the Conservative government is planing to introduced back to work legislation before they take their summer break on Thursday.
    In the meantime though USPS isn't accepting any items marked for Canada.

    Back to work legislation never works, so that's just prolonging the problem rather than solving it.

    Unfortunately for me USPS is my only 'affordable' option overseas. Worse is some online retailers won't even ship to a P.O. box, I gotta have it sent to my sister then she sends it to me.

    Yeah, but it's still expensive (international rates) and the cost difference doesn't outweigh the extra days I'd have to wait using USPS.

    yes, DHL is expensive, the most expensive of any similar service.
    But when its come to trust & insurance they comes first.
