Ah yes. I forgot to tell you that ATF rang and left a message for you about a suspicious package.

It shows how the American mindset works, they are more concerned about Alcohol and Tobacco!
Firearms are only third on their list of concerns.

remember they banned alcohol once, have nearly banned tobacco but cannot even think about reductions on firearms

They're actively working to ban firearms, or render them useless - every day.

It depends on whether Canada Post likes what's inside. Then you may never get it (yeah, I've had a couple of bad experiences).
It also depends on your guys. After getting the good postmaster / bad postmaster treatment, the repeated questions, the demands to see more and more details on their shipping bills, probes, the questions about their original packers and handlers, and then the damning indictment that they have arrived in your blessed country with no return ticket they are probably holding the package in some offshore processing compound along with a bunch of other packages, all proclaiming their innocence and demanding lawyers.

I'd like to think it's just a simple customs thing. Two-and-a-half weeks just seems like a long time given today's modern postal system...

It's been a few years, but I used to trade a lot of collectibles via mail (small packages).
Assuming it's via Canada Post: from Canada to the US, 1 week is nice, 2 weeks cover the majority, 3 weeks covers the rest. On average a few days shorter the other way around. There's been one exception where a package took 2 months for no particular reason, my reputation was saved by having a tracking number. It's an option for a regular package, but mandatory if the package is insured if I remember correctly.
I would ask the Someone if he has a tracking number.

Already requested on Monday, and have received no response yet.

I read yesterday that 75% of all roads in Canada aren't even paved.

Don't you have a tracking number ? or did you just use normal (slow) post ?
Watched code never compiles.

I'm not the one shipping the package, and I've requested a tracking number but have not gotten a response.
EDIT =======================
If I didn't know better, I'd swear that a CP staff member edited my post to replace the word "gotten" with "received". I re-edited to put it back the way it was. I hope whoever it was has gotten the message I am hinting at.

I have not read other responses, but make sure the delivery address is 100% correct. Someone mowed down my mailbox, so I got a post office box, and it took OVER A MONTH to get a notification from my doctor's clinic. It's five miles from where I live.
Ask later. Paranoid husband.

Well, I can only go so far by emailing the mailing address and hoping it gets transposed correctly onto the shipping label. It's really up to the shipper to make sure it's right at that point.
BTW, how ya been? You've been scarce 'round these parts lately.

I've been okay. Been a long last few years. I have a very paranoid husband who would watch all my internet activity including CP, and that was a nightmare. I'm in a comfortable spot to start amp-ing up my CP activity again. I did a few posts here and there to "test the waters." I had to delete all my entries on my blog. Did I mention a nightmare?  Thanks for checking in with me though...I really do appreciate it from my CP friends.
Whatever.

I ordered some DVD's from Amazon Canada without issue. I don't remember how long it took, but I don't think it was excessively long. Though, I imagine Amazon has a nice pipeline setup, so they may be more streamlined than smaller shippers.

CP newsletter is my favourite. I have been a subscriber for more than 7 years.
Today, I was surprised by the iframe approach in the newsletter (you could click on the page to remove the iframe, but it is not ideal).
So, I created this script as a workaround. You need to install Greasemonkey (Firefox) or Tampermonkey (Chrome) then use the script below:
CodeProject Newsletter IFrame Removal on UserScripts.org[^]
The script is simply the following:
var iframeNode = document.getElementById("ctl00_MC_Frame");
if (!iframeNode || !iframeNode.src) {
return;
}
self.location = iframeNode.src;
I would like CP to make the iframe optional and if it is there for commercial reasons, then I don't mind paying to get rid of the ads!
Make it simple, as simple as possible, but not simpler.

I second, triple and quadruple this sentiment.
It's (apparently to me, the undereducated) a freaking horrible approach.

This is what I do:
- I open the newsletter
- ctrl+click on all topics that interest me
- Close my email/newsletter
- Read the articles
Now I need to click this link on every article. Why should I click an extra meaningless click and wait again for the new page to reload?

Ok I understand, it's not quite appealing to eyes as well.
If the page is provided with navigation links to move to all newsletters one bye one inside the same IFrame ,it would have made more sense.
