eBay/Canada Post Shipping
Summary: snoopwiz is exploring shipping options for sending a parcel to France and notes a significant difference in estimated delivery times between different Canada Post services. They highlight concerns about the lengthy delivery window for the inexpensive untracked small packet airmail, compared to the faster but slightly more expensive tracked package. snoopwiz questions why one shipping method considers potential delays like strikes more than others, given the differing estimates.
Checking ship options to France. Huge delivery time estimate difference (6-8 weeks) between the less expensive small packet international air (no tracking) and the slightly more expensive tracked package international.
The no tracking does not concern me that much. The super long travel estimate does concern me. If one shipping method is adding in the possibility of a strike/stoppage/slow-down, why is the other one not?
