I don't know if you had to go the USPS way or the UPS way, but the USPS system is very slow and speed is determined by what type of shipping is picked. I just found out lately that some USPS services to "overseas" (is Canada considered overseas?) places can be put on space available. Crazy, I know, but I had a small package sent here to Germany and it took almost 45 days to get here from the East Coast. Now, I don't know if that is the same for Canada especially since ground or air is available (?). I will probably be eagerly waiting 45 days from now for the DVDs to still get here - you should have yours wwwwaaaayyyy before I get mine.
