Many times. You're in Canada, as am I.
My guess is that the shipper used a third party discount shipping service to send your purchase. This happens all the time with certain sellers in the western U.S. These types of shipments seem to bounce around between various sorting centers in the LA area, sometimes for a month or two. Sometimes, it just gets lost in their black hole and they furnish you with no information for 30-60 days. It's atrocious. Good luck in ever locating these shipments when they're in this state of limbo. My best guess is that USPS gives these packages the lowest of low priorities due to the discounted shipping rates, but again, that's always been my guess.
Another awful thing about these shipments is that the tracking number will only work within the U.S. Once it has been dispatched to the destination country, you'll never know where it is until it arrives.
If you are dealing with a seller who you know uses these methods, spend extra for UPS if you want to see your cards in a more reasonable amount of time.
