Yeah, but here, we go out to the mailbox and gather it up. No duties or fees. Wonder how long that will last?

Yeah... But everyone knows, once you give em your moneys - it can't get to you fast enough!! Tom Petty was right!! "Waiting IS the hardest part." Lol!!

Some things don't translate .

Yup, noo doot aboot it eh? Some things others just don't get, kinda like when you say, always keep your head up and your stick on the ice....

As one of my Scottish flatmates used to say: "Nae drama". It will arrive. It will be shave-ready. It will all work out.

I have come to accept a certain amount of randomness when ordering from Unitedstatesian vendors. Sometimes things arrive surprisingly quickly, sometimes it takes ages. Sometimes they ding you for customs, most often they don't. Unless UPS gets involved in which case get your chequebook ready because they really layer on insane fees. But that's another story...

So hang in there brother. Embrace the randomness. Think of it as part of the zen-like experience that is straight shaving. All will be well.

This whole thread is starting to make me think that I am wasting luggage space as I go back and forth between the US and Canada at least twice a month. Perhaps I need to look into creating some kind of black market smuggling racket...

Since I found this thread after buying a straight from a Canudian member, me living a mere 21 miles Northwest of the border, I am starting to worry .. hopefully he used enough duck tape, eh? Go Wings!

The biggest community of Canadian Expats are in Los Angeles. It should be made an honourary province.

At this rate my INOX will arrive before the others. Must. Resist. Urge to Use INOX!!!
