Placed an order with A47, about 10 days ago now. Its my first package from that far away, and as i know everyone says not to worry, i am slightly.

anyone else got experience with canada/uk shipping times?

Hi firewoot88, I'm in Ireland myself and packages from the US generally take around 2 weeks to reach me. My Canadian packages are usually express and arrive in about 5 days, but Anarcho47 sends regular post, I think. He has an excellent success rate for packages so I certainly wouldn't be getting worried yet.  :)

Sweet, Thanks for the reassurance man, always good to be put at ease by someone in the same kind of position!

I ship from Canada to the UK all the time.  Unless it's liquid, they aren't going to open it, and even if it is liquid, they don't test it. 

Sooo, how much did you pay for shipping, and how thick was your package?  I mean how much extra was the order to account for shipping do you think?

If you only paid $10 or less for shipping AND your package is thicker then letter rate (a pack of cigarettes), you are going to be waiting 6-8 weeks.

If you paid more like $40 OR your package is thinner then say a cigarette package, it should take about one-two weeks.

I've only ever had trouble with Australia (they have to irradiate it on the way in) and sometimes Greece.

When I ordered an 8th from MIMM, it took 10 days to arrive in the UK. I know other people in the UK have got stuff from Anarcho47 after a week or so. I ordered a half oz from Anarcho47 about three weeks ago, and it hasn't shown up yet. However, no customs letter and entheogensrus' post above means I still have faith it will turn up!

edit: Just saw this on Oz's page "UPDATE 19/03/2012: There appears to be a delay in postal deliveries - specifically for our International orders - but things are coming through slowly. Thanks for your patience." Maybe all Canada to UK deliveries are slow at the moment?

It came this morning, so a wee bit longer than 2 weeks i think, nearly three.
