Customs will have it for a minimum of a week, usually a little longer, then the postal guys get to admire it, shake it a few times and then get it to your buyer. Takes time for good work to be done apparentley. It will get there, sometimes they carry each package individually the entire distance on foot!
Not really but I could have walked to New York and back faster than my last parcel was travelling. Relax

Over the years dealing with 2 boywers from Alberta Canada...plus shipping archery stuff to Ontario and New Brunswick...we always sent items back and forth USPS Priority...but valued the item $10 and reason for shipping...."Bow Repair" or "Gift".

I've had stuff sit in customs 2 weeks, some items less time. If you don't put "gift" or "repair", the person on the receiving end will pay a high tariff on the goods coming in.

Funny whenever I order stuff from 3Rivers it's usually in Canada in under 10 days.  Also had the same speed ordering from A&H Archery.

Just an update.
Checked with USPS and looks like Customs processed the package at 11:03 this mourning.
Could be shooting by the week-end. All is good.
Thanks again Nala.  Take care   Mo

I bought a longbow about 3 years ago from a Guy in Winnipeg, Canada.  It took about 3 1/2 weeks to arrive.  Needless to say, I was on pins and needles the last 2 weeks, wondering if I was going to receive the bow and if my money was down the drain.  It did arrive, though.

Hey MO,

What a relief!  Glad you got your package.

Take a couple of days and try it out to make sure you like it and everything is to your needs.

Let me know how it shoots for you.

Thanks again,

Larry
