Thanks Bucket I have looked there and yes it all depends on the mail but was looking for an average time. I have to make a trip to go pick it up so I want to time it right. P2 I guess "eh" was not a good clue ..Canada

I am playing the watching the tracking number game, I thinks it's worse having one to watch than not. Mine hasn't left the original post office yet and it was dropped off by alin on monday. I wish I had more patience, sorry

i hear ya man, I am just really excited to check out the postcard and see the beautiful scenery from around there. I have a feeling the holidays are going to be both a blessing and a curse. blessing because more traffic means less ability to check every one, curse because more traffic means more waiting time. Oh well I will take longer with safer then fast and risky

It's usually about two weeks average to the states. I don't know jack about the canadian postal service but I can't imagine it would be that much different.

Its the holiday season and everything in the mail is gonna take longer due to huge volumes of online ordering worldwide. That type of thinking is keeping me cool cuz my postcard is overdue compared to normal :mad:
I can wait an extra week or two.................i think :mad:

We all get excited when dealing with the unknown ... Two weeks does that mean 10 days or 14 ... LOL patience is a vertue

I hear you greggorial, damn I am at a week since placing the order and I am like a school kid counting days till christmas vacation. I think I am in bad shape waiting because it seems like everything has been a wait this past week. Waiting for responses for a job from interviews, waiting for new cell phones to arrive, and waiting for postcards to come. So far I got some job reply's., and my cell phones. now I hope the last thing comes next and in near future.

I hear ya guys.. i keep thinking everyday it could show up.. but it has been a real disappointment so far.. Im thinking maybe it got nabbed at customs.. but no letter either. Not sure what to think at this point.. Just pretty much getting fed up with the whole deal really....
Hope you have better luck ;)

BJ I feel your pain I have had bad experiances in the past ..NOT with Alin as this is my first. It's been almost 3 months for ya ... What happens next ? or do you call it a day and hope for the best next time ? That would really suck :confused:

Hey BJ I feel your pain brotha, but if it has taken this long it probably has been snatched by customs, and it usually takes quite a while for them to send notice of seizure. Don't let this ruin your impression of alin's services, sometimes this shit happens. But don't sweat it, alin is a man of his word and he reships to another address, usually express delivery.
i hear ya... 3wks.now!! waiting like alittle kid on christmas...

I'm going on two months :mad:
Whats the procedure with customs? Do the wait a couple months then send you a letter saying "we got yo shit" or what?

if it was seized I really don't think you will get in any trouble unless it was a very large order and it looks as if you may be re selling it. I am a little concerned though that alot of people aren't getting their orders or they are taking a long time. Alin says he has a 90% or better success rate so maybe these are just the few that haven't made it. Everyone here that has delt with him for a while is veryt confident with him so I will be as well. I will definitely post to let you all know if I am succesful or not. we need some more positive news on this site. Good luck to all on a speedy and safe delivery.

I agree OP I will let all know my status as well

i think a lot of people can agree with me that alin does have 90% or better success rate. shit, hes had 100% success rate with my postcards, and the fact that he will send miltiple packages on larger orders, gotta give him thanks on that. if your in a hurry to get your postcards its probably not the most wise to do it around the holidays due to all of the mail traffic

that makes me feel alot better hearing someone with good success rate, especially from the dirty south. I guess it can sound bad because the people whop get there stuff don't tend to post alot but the people waiting or who haven't gotten them post all the time. Mine is way within the expected time frame so I have no complaints and am very confident my postcards will be here. jstfrme what times do you tend to get to the south?
