i live in illinois and i usually get things in 9-10 days. if i xpress it it takes 5-6. i would think that it would be faster to you.
if you are looking at the site though, where it says scheduled service date, that's wrong. i'm not sure what it is but it's not the delivery date. for me it kept going up
originally it was 7 days after i ordered it, then a couple days later it jumped to 9. the day it actually got delivered the date on the site said it wouldn't be there for an additional 10 days!

JunkieJoe ships from Ontario, which is close to New York and Detroit (I'm not 100% sure which part of Ontario the place he lives is). That's pretty darned far away from you (and me, I live about 3 hours away from Seattle). So the whole border thing doesn't really matter if you live that far away from the place he sends it from. I'm not 100% clear, will it take 10 extra days? Or 10 days all together? I think Xpresspost states that the Canada to US packages should arrive in 3-7 business days. If it will take 10 days all together, then you have to minus the weekends. If it will take 10 extra days, then I'm betting that it's stuck at customs.

Haha, well that would explain the confusion. Yeah, he's on the East Coast of Canada. It's funny, alot of my American friends don't know that we have provinces. They reffer to where I live as "Canada" and nothing else. I don't think they know how big our country is.

you're lucky you get yours on saturday. i'd rather not have my packages shipped to my house when i'm not there so i always ship to my work address and we're not open saturdays. i can't really complain though as i'll no saturday dropoffs as opposed to getting $150 worth of dvds on my doorstep where anyone could take them
and just so everyone knows i was including the weekend when i was talking above.

Weird, I get my packages in 4 to 7 days, never more. And with me it has to cross the atlantic.
