I had a funny feeling I knew exactly who you placed an order with. Now I know for sure!
They're a great company, as we all know. They bumped their S&H charges significantly for Canadian shipments. It used to only be $1 more than their domestic S&H rate. Not sure what happened, and I too have wondered if this increased rate would translate to quicker shipping times. Guess not. I wouldn't know, as I have any of my winnings from them shipped to an American address, then forwarded on via untracked letter mail to Canada. This actually takes less time, in spite of the shipments having to travel over 1000 miles out of their way! My advice to you would be to find an American friend with whom you can make a similar arrangement.
