On Dec. 31, I placed three separate flashlight related orders from AliExpress. I clicked on the “Canada Post” option for shipping.
According to my notifications, they were all three shipped within 24 hours, and within another 24 hours they were acknowledged as having arrived in Burnaby B.C… According to Canada Post, they were then referred to Canada Border Control ‘for inspection’ - where they have sat ever since. How ‘dangerous’ are they? A couple of Manker E02s, a couple of Manker E03Hs, and a half dozen dime sized magnets.
I often see Chinese sellers and shippers being criticized for slow delivery, and perhaps they are sometimes at fault, but when our own bureaucratic dolts suck up their fat salaries and Government benefits while sleeping on a pile of our parcels, they deserve to get their share of the blame.
I once waited more than 6 weeks for an order of drivers and emitters from Intl-Outdoors, and Hank Wang even graciously offered to re-ship. When it finally arrived, I learned that it had been laying in Canada Border Control the entire time. In addition, it had been ripped open by some Customs dolt, carelessly re-taped, and arrived with its contents only by the grace of God.
Canada Border Clowns - get to work, you slackers. No wonder Canadians despise government agencies if they perform like these guys.
