Speedy Posted September 25, 2002 Share Posted September 25, 2002 Looks like we need to give Canadian customs a wake up call. [ September 25, 2002, 07:25 AM: Message edited by: Speedy ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Panzer Leader Posted September 25, 2002 Share Posted September 25, 2002 Dorosh! I know you are watching this thread with watering eyes, so I will tell you here and now: We are PBEMing the GD operation. Though it goes against every fibre of my being to do so, I also offer you the Axis forces for the battle. Send me a set-up when you get things squared away, bub.

Hoopenfaust2 Posted September 25, 2002 Share Posted September 25, 2002 Did the package arrive with the normal mail or was it sent like Amazon, by Canada Post truck man. I'm here in Ottawa as well but I'm not holding my breath. Nutbutter, your profile says you're a student. Where? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sztomcat Posted September 25, 2002 Share Posted September 25, 2002 I also lived in Ottawa. My Pre-Order Number is 902XX. But I just checked my mailbox & got nothing! Was it because that Canada Post has just sent my mail package to local Shopper's Drug Mart and that would take another day for me to receive the pick-up notice? BTW, I got my last game package from New York last year and it took just 4-5 business days to reach me. I really don't understand why BFC said that it might take 2-3 weeks for Canadians to receive their mails. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better business to deliver before a promised date, rather than after. B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zipper Posted September 25, 2002 Share Posted September 25, 2002 I think it helped that the customs declaration form was marked "Gift" with a value of $5. That's a good way to sneak past customs. I received it in Vancouver yesterday (Tuesday). Zipper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

antawar Posted September 25, 2002 Share Posted September 25, 2002 I'm in montreal and I received my copy yesterday. (tuesday) morning. Now watch out for some screenshots later today on my website http://pages.infinit.net/antaress Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoopenfaust2 Posted September 25, 2002 Share Posted September 25, 2002 aka_tom_w I think because we are canadian MAC users we're going to get the game last in Canada. I've got my copy coming to my office address. We've got several brokers and we do a lot of industrial top secret shipping over the border all the time. We usually get packages the next day from cleveland, and 2 days from Switzerland... but thats probably FEDEX and UPS that do all the footwork.
