Transport Woes

[RustyJake]

Most of you reside in the US, so you may find this humorous. Us Canucks usually cringe when we order something from the US. Delivery waits, excessive shipping costs and duties and exchange on our Canadian peso.
I took the plunge and ordered some swag from Meat Church in Waxahachie. It was a week ago, shipped priority international service via USPS.
My shipment will have seen more of the US than I ever have. It'll be interesting to see the condition of the package and the goods inside when and if it finally arrives here
This is all the points it has seen so far

Waxahachie to Dallas, then off to Grand Rapids, then Gary Indiana, Carol Stream Illinois and now heading to Itasca.
Keep in mind, I am on the west coast, so this has a ways to travel yet.
I will update the list of beautiful cities my order has had the privilege of traveling to as the item is moved through the efficiency of the US postal system. Can't wait to see how Canada post routes this shipment

It'll be worth the wait!

FYI - they do sell some of their products on Amazon as well. I saw a few on the Canada version too. Not sure if that would be cheaper and faster for you in the future.

I know, just haven't seen any of their shirts or hats anywhere but on their website.
I get their rubs from a couple places that stock it here in Canada

Our own postal service leaves much to be desired as well. I ordered a part and it was shipped USPS to me. Here's the route. Direct would have been 809 miles, but our postal service made it travel 7,238 miles before being delivered. LOL

Mexico, MO
Columbia, MO
Kansas City, KS
Albany, NY
San Antonio, TX
Austin, TX
Springfield, MA
Austin, TX
Destination Delivered.

My dad sent two Christmas cards from central Ohio to the Denver metro area about a week before Christmas. One came just before Christmas and the other came in mid-February!

Backed a Kickstarter that produced the case in China, but shipped from NJ but somehow my package ended up going by way of Sweden, stuck for a couple of weeks, contacted the business and they shipped me a new case via Fedex Ground. Then the original package made it to Toronto and finally to BC, three days after the Fedex package arrived.

We just need Star Trek transporter tech.

My last update for my shipment is that Itasca has sent it to Canada and it cleared customs on the 21st. Canada Post likes to keep us in suspense as to where it may be now. No more updates after it arrived at one of their facilities on the 22nd.
I am guessing it's in Ontario and will be in a truck to the coast for delivery sometime next week.

And the swag has finally landed

Awesome swag. Reminds me of this meme.
