I expect to see mine here in good 'ol Wintertoba in about 2-3 weeks. That seems to have been the trend for both CMBO and CMBB.

I expect the reason for the delay, has a lot to do with Customs Officials having to go to all of the trouble of locating Winnipeg Manitoba on a map of Toronto; which then prompts their suspicion regarding the innocent looking package from Vermont.

Then they have to install the game on their own computers, in order to check for pornography. The only way to be sure - is to play every battle and operation to completion.

Then they hand it over to Canada Post. :rolleyes:

Canada Post is quick to note the date on the postmark as to when the package was sent. They realize - that if Customs has held on to said package for this long - there MUST be something good inside - maybe even a magic decoder ring!

So - the mailman, unable to resist the temptation - just HAS to give it a whirl too.

Once all these happy employees of our fine government are done with my copy I should see it in a few weeks. If they don't nail me with duty charges, I guess that means they liked it!

I figure, that for the Customs Nazi and the Mailman to both "finish" CMAK within two to three weeks is a rare and outstanding example of efficiency in the face of incredible bureaucracy!!

Who says Government employees are slackers?

These guys get the job done!

.....if they scratch my CD I'm going to dress up in a customs uniform and go postal. ;)

Heh heh. They seem to look at the same map for Saskatoon.

Beautiful summation of the relationship between CCRA and Canada Post, BTW.

No sign of CMAK yet in the metropolis of Almonte Ontario. It did snow, however, and that always slows everything down even more than usual around these parts. Here's a hopeful thought though: last month I ordered a chess set from Paris France, and it arrived two days later! So, with Vermont being just a 3 hour drive from here, and applying the mysterious Rule of Post, I should expect to have CMAK in my hands in, oh, about 2 weeks or maybe 3 if I take into account that they ought to get theirs out in Manitoba a week before I do.

If I remember Customs was into a Work to Rule Slowdown when CMBB was shipping to add for the lengthy delay many of us got the game. Let's hope it will faster this time with CMAK but then the Post Office will probably delay the delivery this time since they are in a contract hassle.

Just keep your fingers and toes crossed fellow Canuckies that it will arrive in a week.

Not in Toronto yet. Probably misdirected to Winnipeg (wherever that is).

Got the ship-confirm e-mail today and I questioned back to them if it hadn't been sent on Dec. 2.

They responded back "It shipped on 12/2, Sir.

Hoping you have received it already!" <-- Yeah Sure!!! :D

Knowing my luck, it will get here on the same day I fly out to Calgary to see my folks over Christmas.
