Okay, I'm sure there is a reasonable explanation but does anyone know why when Canada Post and the USPS get together, they seem to feel the need to try to out do one another in slowness? :P

To receive something from just across the border (a two hour drive) it takes a week and a half or so to get here. Same with if I'm sending something to the U.S. about a week and a half to two weeks depending how far it has to travel. Yet I can get a package to Germany, Poland or the U.K. and receive one between 3 - 5 days?

It's getting to the point where I look to buy stuff from Europe as opposed to the U.S. because I know it will get here sooner. :P
