Clearing US Customs

[hysteresis]

One would think If I select two day guaranteed to US, the package would be delivered within two days after submitting a package. 

Anyone have experience with this? 

Canada Post didnt even GET the package to the US until two days later. Now it's sitting in Customs.

Yeah, they just whatever they want.

CP and USPS both, it would seem.

I am going to assume the package contained exotic insects. Shipping exotic arthropods to the US is illegal without two permits, one from the FWS and one from the USDA (arachnids do not require this second permit).

No no. I shipped a collectible Sci Fi item. But TY.

Oh. Well at least you do not have to worry about it dying during the delay!

Respectfully, this is probably a topic you don't want to discuss in a public forum.

What do you mean?

My specific question was about users' experience receiving items from Canada and any delays using Canada Post and USPS with products like "Expresspost USA" two day service. 

In general, one might share insights into courier products like FedEx, FedEx ground, UPS, etc.

Oops... my bad. I assumed the discussion was mantid related since it's posted in the Regulatory Issues forum. Please pardon.

This post is acting weird, and I tried to edit it. Instead, though, I think I created two posts.

If it has to go through customs, then any insects theoretically would be confiscated. Therefore, since this had been posted in the regulatory section on an insect forum, I guessed this was about shipping some type of arthropod. The specific shipping company should not make too much difference if the package gets inspected.

Right on, thank you. 

Retrospectively, I shouldn't have posted this topic in this section.
