Look at this. They accepted and cleared customs in Richmond BC about 20 minutes down the street from me...Then shipped it to Mississauga, now it has to come all the way back..
Date : 2016/01/21
Time : 15:15
Location: Mississauga
Description: Item was released by Customs and is now with Canada Post for processing
Date : 2016/01/20
Time : 08:28
Location: RICHMOND
Description: Electronic information submitted by shipper.
Additional Information: The shipper has created a shipping label for this item and has sent us electronic information. However, if no additional updates are showing in Track, it means we have not yet received the item. We will start tracking the item once it is provided to us.
No indication that the package was ever in Richmond.
"Electronic information submitted by shipper." means that the label information/payment was received by Canada Post -- nothing to do with the physical parcel.
When I buy on-line shipping that becomes electronic information to Canada Post. Actual movement of the parcel begins when I drop the parcel off at the local postal outlet and then Canada Post has the physical package.
