I have ) Good experience, very reasonable shipping, at least within the US and everything is shipped timely.

gaaaa! i've just taken a look at their shipping to Canada and it's ridiculous! 35 bucks, and that's a flat rate, no changing it.

gonna find my fleece locally instead, although there were a couple patterns on Sy's site that i really liked. boo........

Yeah, that's why I said within the US it's reasonable, especially if you order a lot. My guess is that it's that high for Canada because fleece is so heavy it has to go priority. Shipping to Canada is not cheap for heavy things.

shipping to Canada isn't cheap for just about anything! only time i've found a really good shipping rate is from you Alli, although it still hasn't arrived

although it still hasn't arrived

I'm sure it's coming as fast as it can. :thumbsup: Alli is great about getting her orders out.

it was sent out over two weeks ago now. i'm starting to get worried that customs snagged it

I'm at my parent's for the weekend, but when I get back home I can get you the customs number, perhaps you can call and inquire? I don't know how customs works, since it seems the US is much more lenient on things.

However 2 weeks or more for first class isn't unheard of, unfortunately.

Alli, if you know which customs 'centre' (which state/province border) it would have went through, i can do some searching to find out.

That I wouldn't know for sure, but I'm in Minnesota, so perhaps it went into Manitoba first? I honestly have no clue how mail works. On Tuesday I'll get the number for you. It will say when it went out of the US, but after that they don't update since it's out of the US's hands.

Lately I find anything coming for the USA is taking a long time. Customs is taking forever to process stuff! I had a package take 3 weeks. They must have been disappointed when they say it was chin name plates. ha!

I mailed out some critter cookies about a month ago to Canada. They finally received them last week.

 

[alli713]

Yeah, it's really hit or miss, sometimes it takes 5 days, sometimes a month!

well i got Rhino a few things at petsmart today, to tide him over until the order comes in. let's just hope he doesn't annihilate everything before it gets here, lol!
