Mine has finally arrived in the United States. Probably at least 2+ days for me, which could push it into next week.

I have two packages slated for delivery today and Friday, so it begins.

So it looks like my assumption of USPS may be incorrect. I got a FedEx delivery manager e-mail last night that my package is due on the 14th. There's nothing implying that USPS is the final mule either.
Now the question is, what the hell is that other package on my USPS dashboard? May we call it...a mysterious package?

Do you subscribe to HaK or Empty Faces? They use PSI Systems for their mailings. They are out of Maryland.

I do not. I guess it's just the wait and see game for now. Still possible FedEx will surprise and transfer it to the post office later tonight.

FedEx just texted to let me know that my package will be here between 8:50-5:30. I hope they don’t need a signature!

My package is stuck in Jordan because of the snowstorm in Toronto. The courier company called me and wanted me to pay taxes and duties even though the package haven't reached Canada which I found suspicious. The courier company is called Aramex and I had to Google them to make sure they are legit. The reviews of this company had me a bit freaked out. If there are any other Canadians on this forum let me know if you got a call from them.

I believe it's legit because the creators actually commented on it.

Thanks for redirecting me to the comment page. After reading all the comments I decided to pay the duties and taxes to the website.

Can't help myself. Keep looking to see if there are shipping updates several times a day.

If there are any other Canadians on this forum let me know if you got a call from them. Can confirm, got an email, text, and very aggressive voicemail from them. Was their phone call with you also aggressive? Or did I just get a bad rep?
I'm the jerk in the comments , though I really just wanted to know it was legit, I wasn't meaning to be whining about the fees. They were a lot lower than they could have been I thought. FedEx and UPS usually charge me 50% of the total value. So like 30 bucks wasn't a big deal. I am concerned about the range of fees, 17-65. But I also expect the lower fees got the lower levels, and the higher ones maybe had lots of add ons? Not sure if the add ons are shipped separately.

But I also expect the lower fees got the lower levels, and the higher ones maybe had lots of add ons? Not sure if the add ons are shipped separately. I got charged 65 but I am at the platnium level. When I enquire about the duty they said it was only taxes I was paying for, which is about right if the value of the item was converted to CAD currency. I was hoping they charge me taxes based on the UK price tag. The rep that called me was not rude but I could tell they were new at their job and English wasn't their first language. If anything I was overly aggressive with the rep on inquirying what I was paying for and the itemization of the fee. I also refuse to pay over the phone and wanted a paper trail because I have never heard of this company and it's an unusual practice to pay for duty before delivery.
