Title: Canada to the UK postage time
Post by: Adrianexi on May 16, 2012, 01:26 pm
Hello, I tried searching for a topic regarding this issue but couldn't find any.

Basically I have ordered an ounce of shrooms from GaltRR and after a nice chat he sent off the shrooms exactly 15 days ago. Vac sealed etc.
I ordered from Anarcho47 before who is also based in Canada and both, shrooms and weed packages came within 9-12 days.

I was wondering whether anyone else has the same problem in the UK possibly with the mail over all, or is it just me? I really don't mind it coming a bit late, but what is the longest people have waited for a package to the UK? Should I start worrying?
Cheers

Have been waiting 2 weeks for a package from moldova, and 3 weeks for packages from china and canada.
Something from the US managed to get through in about 3 days though. Nice to hear other people are experiencing delays :P

Just found someone posting on anarchos review topic so i'll drop this in
First post. I'm also a Brit and have been waiting 14days, just thought as obviously these times can be quite frustrating for those waiting I would let you know you we're not alone. Perhaps it had something to do with the May Bank Holiday? But as others have stated 20days to West EU isn't unheard of. I was going to wait until the weekend to see if it had come and let Anarcho47 know then but as I saw this I feel happier that it is still in the post and am touch wood not one of the 2% that doesn't make it.


Starting to feel that it might be just delays, I really hope so.

I have relatives in the UK.
Legit packages take 3-8 days usually, longer if holidays are in effect.
Longest ever was 14 days, but that was a registered letter, so tracking protocols likely made it go slower.
All international mail is airmail these days.

My experience has been about the same, so I wouldn't worry too much about it. Good things come to those who wait.  8)

So it is 18 days now, has anyone received anything yet? If it doesn't come by Tuesday I guess I've lost £120...

The last package I received from Canada took 3 weeks where as a couple from the 420 sale only took 5 days, so don't start worrying just yet  ;)

Canada Post really sucks: most of the employees there just couldn't give a fuck. I have family in England and sometimes it can take up to 3 weeks for a letter to reach the U.K.

I honestly wouldn't worry about it tho: chances are it will show up.

Cheers.

It is usually 5-6 days, but that is with Canadian vendors that are not on SR. I only used one Canadian vendor on SR and it has been a month now and still nothing has arrived.

Stuff arrived eventually - 2 from Canada, one taking 3 days and one taking 3 weeks
Delayed packages suck but most of the time they will arrive eventually

Hi there,
Good news! Today (Monday) my package has arrived eventually, took just over 3 weeks, but I am very glad I didn't loose any money. Hope it works out for the others too! Seems like mail was delayed lately. Cheers

My recent weed order from Canada took 24 days to the UK. The corner was ripped open but no idea if this is accidental or a 'probing', I guess the former as it turned up  8)

id say 5-12 working days depending on how big the package is.......

for example my experiences are

acho47 took 12 days for half oz of bud in an A4 size package

redenbatcher took 7days in a A3 box sizepackage

dopeboy took 5days in a standard letter

Orders shouldn't take more than 2 weeks to get to the UK from the majority of places.

If it is taking longer, it's either due to a delay at customs (package may not be up for scanning, but, for example, the amount of mail there at that time could effect things) or a delay at the sorting office.

There have been occasions when I've been waiting for a 1st Class Recorded package (up to 2 working days but more prioritised than standard 1st class:- usually next day) which is just a UK-UK domestic service, but have had to wait 3 days for them simply because a postman failed to deliver on our road for that time.

Of course, the seller could always be to blame for marking in transit when it's actually not, but I'm not trying to be accusal!
