This post is intended for buyers from Canada.
Canadian post is terrible. I ship items with international small parcel with tracking and 98% of them meet buyers in 2-4 weeks.
Parcels to Canada don`t have any tracking info after leaving Russia and 50% of them are lost. I could not expect this.
If you are waiting parcel from me more than 4 weeks please contact me and we will fix any problem.
If you received parcel from me please contact me to make me sure that you have met with your parcel (I try to monitor all parcels but couldn`t do this for Canada because have no tracking info).
If I`m mistaking in Canadian post quality and you know it better please post you experience.
From this day I won`t ship parcels to Canada with small parcel. If parcel is lost I can return some money from Russian post, but main problem is that often I have all parts in small quantities and if one unique part is lost it is a big problem in making one more of it fast to make you satisfied.
From now I can provide two other shipping methods for Canada buyers:

  1. Standart parcel with tracking for orders under 50$ up to 1kg:
    20USD, 30-50 days delivery time
  2. Expedited shipping for orders over 50$ up to 1kg:
    35USD, 10-20 days delivery time
    Maybe one of Canada members will be able to accept combined orders to his adress and sent them further.

I live in Québec and had no problem with the shipping from you

Canada is the second biggest country ( after Russia ) with 10 provinces and 3 territory, may be there is problem in some province but not every where. 27$ after money exchange is quite expensive for shipping
I think you should let people have the choice to take the responsibility for the shipping ( if something happen, to bad for them) if they don’t want to pay 27$ for shipping but 5USD for normal shipping

Robert, do you have any tracking info about parcel you had received? When updates had stop and why?

International parcels are center logisted. Most of them leaving country in one big city and entering sorting or custom of other country big city. If this processes went good we have very good probability that parcel will arrive quickly and safety. Why thete is no tracking information from Canada post? This is nonsense if Canada post use same method to registed air mail small parcel to all this one $ black letters from ali.
“Big country” is just term of populistic politicans suitable to justify any problems. People dont live in areas with density 2-10 man/sq.km in whole country area, they live in medium size places with much bigger density and there is no problem to find airport within 500km near place of any small town. And it is funny when I sent two parcels in same day, one to the Miami and second one two the Novisibirsk region and first one meet buyer one week faster.

Ok, I can say that we will try to make solarforce and others P60 compatible quad head with big fins area.
Without any drop-ins, mid heads or etc. Just bezel, head and extention tube for P60 with tail.
Main problem is bezel ring. Stock solarforce and other manufactures alu and SS bezels are suitable and cheap, but have thread profile which could not be made by our tools. (I mean internal thread in head to fit stock bezels).
Any suggestions? May be it will be available to change design of bezel to external one (ext. threads on head, internal threads on bezel) and make custom bezel for it.
On the other side, I am looking at solarforce SS bezel that was bought for $5-6 and understand that it is much better and cheaper that anything we could make.

Why there is no tracking information from Canada post.
Most major countries have a postal agreement amongst themselves. Canada, USA, Britain, France, etc.
An example: USA 350 million people. Canada 35 million people. Obviously there is going to be more mail coming to Canada from the USA than there is from Canada to the USA. This is all kept track of and Canada is compensated by USPS for delivering their mail. USA mail is treated with the same priority and tracking as domestic mail.

Canada and the USA (and other European countries) made an agreement to deliver Chinpost mail some time ago to help them out as an emerging third world economy. Basically, we deliver their mail for free, which is why you get all the free shipping.
China is no longer an emerging economy, and Canada post is inundated by the output of a billion people shipping their goods and having to deliver it all for zero money. We receive no compensation from China and it costs us millions to deliver their mail. To compensate for China’s free mail, we will have to increase the price Canadians pay for their domestic postage.
Canada post decided to put a low priority on China mail and stopped all scanning of it. It is also considered low priority mail and is only sorted when we have time after we deal with domestic and foreign countries we have compensatory agreements with.

Since the Cold War, there isn’t a huge volume of mail from Russia yet, and I don’t believe there is a postal agreement between the two countries. I’ve found the mail from Russia is fairly quick, about two weeks, but CPC doesn’t bother scanning any of it.

Basically, Russia (and China) collect 100% of the money for postage and the other country is expected to eat the expense of delivering it for free.

The amount of Russian mail is fairly minor, but the cost and manpower to deliver mail from Asia is enormous.
Pretty soon you’re going to see countries all over the world not scanning and treating Asian mail as a low priority until Asia starts paying its share.

Russian post dont have special lines or some other tyles of low cost shippings. Yes we pay full cost, so it is not comparable with chinese parcels.
Small parcel air mail with tracking is international method and it works worldwide. There is no difference where did the parcel came from, it has all required marks and should be added to national post system with same (RB…RU) tracking number. If you find you parcel in mail box it means that canadian post recognized it as simple packet (same to chinese) and it went other ways trough country.

Yes, it is international mail, and Russia post collects money from you to send it. The problem is, Russia post does not share the money they collect from you with the country that delivers it. I don’t really see this as huge since Russia mail is minimal, but it is a massive loss with China mail.
I will check to see if Russia does have a postal agreement, and if they do, someone is screwing up badly.
At first I thought it might be getting mixed up with China mail, but that arrives across the Pacific Ocean on the other side of the country. I assume Russia post comes across the Atlantic. Besides not getting scanned, Russia post seems to arrive fairly quickly. I also don’t know if it comes direct, or is routed through another European country.

Ouch, once again, things you are talking about can describe situation with regular parcels (boxes). There is no way to devide money by different countries for small parcels cause price is fix and I sent same weight to Ukraine and to New Zeland for same price. There are international agreements and all other counries accept my parcels with right way.
If you think that Canadian and Russian post servises have no agreement you are not right. I can sent 100 empty parcels to you adress and write a letter that they are lost and canadian post will pay money to russian post which will pay me for losen parcels. And this payments will be in SDR value. Hope canadian post wont become bankupt :money_mouth_face:

It could be someone is screwing up the system.
I don’t think the current president of canadampost is going to last much longer under the new government. He was going to end all door to door delivery under the old government, and the new government told him to stop. The asked him to resign, but he refused. I think they’ll have to pay him a bunch of money to leave.

No info I can reminder about tracking parcel from you. What I reminder is that I received my goods a lot faster from you then from China. It takes 4 to 6 weeks to received my goods from China and few weeks from Russia.
I will check the tracking next time you send me something.

Hi, I’d like to buy 4 Al X6 8.6mm triple spacers. Thanks!

Today I got a couple of spacers and optics.

All high quality and well packaged.
Thank you very much and would recommend to others.

Thank you,

Received my package today! All was perfect. Thank you!

great prices here, though I’m getting a bit tired of doing small triples.

Any idea on ETA for the copper X6 Triple spacers?

Do we know if these also fit the X6R?

2 weeks or little earlier.
Lower diameter is 20.9, OD is 31.0

Any chance on a P60 for a surefire 6P?
