    I know anything going from Japan to Canada will take a while and must have every item in the parcel valued and stated on the box :angry Pain in the arse !

    That's b/c everyone knows that Al Qaeda is out there. You guys realize it was impossible for me to open up a bank account from abroad...even through the online sign-up form? Damn Patriot Act.

    Yes, I've had issues with mail as well. Not only is it 'security', in Canada, Customs workers are apparently having union actions such as strikes and whatnot, so mail is being HEAVILY delayed.

    If you don't address a package correctly now as well it's just returned; addressed correctly meaning on the last line there should be nothing but the country name. What a fucking pain. I had one parcel returned to LikSang apparently because of this.

    One DC game I had shipped from the UK by AIRMAIL took a MONTH to arrive. And this wasn't even stopped by Customs.

    Also while everyone else who ordered those consoles from Yakumo awhile back has had theirs arrive already mine is still not here despite the fact that logistically I am the closest to Japan, i believe.

    A big F** YOU to Canada Post and Canada Customs. Your asses should have been privatized when we had the bloody chance! Crown corps be damned to hell!

    Yes that's right. Everyones stuff was sent the same time, oh no, hang on the Sharp Famicom twin was sent a weeks after everyones stuff and even that has arrived. Looks like you'll be the last to get your Baldr Force too id-republix since the shits at Canada Post sent it back to me.

    Damn, two weeks after and even that's arrived. For crying out loud, they privatize evertyhing from health care to the water company here but when we have one of the worst postal services in the world no one thinks of privatizinf the lame dinosaur that is Canada Post.

    Thanks for re-sending the Baldr Force EXE so quickly Yakumo, I know it wasn't free sending it the second time around. Much appreciated.

    Actually it was free to send it second time round. The Japanese post office sent the charge to Canada post :smt043 Up yours I say to them :smt043 Normally I would have to pay again but the post office said that Canada post should have informed the Japanese post that they had new rules which they didn't. So I didn't have to pay.

    It seems they are also giving a bad service sending items from Canada to other countries. I got Gradius III&IV in ebay at the end of July. I'm still waiting for it... (well, in fact, I'm looking for another unit...)

    Haha excellent. Glad to know Japan Post (Yubin?) gave Canada Post the finger.

    Yes, Yubinkuoku mean Post Office takyubin is a delivery company such as Fedex or DHL. The Kuroneko (black cat) delivery company bring stuff to my house 3 times a week. I'm sure they must hate me :smt033

    Is that where the logo of the black cat wit the "YAMAMOTO" text is from? That was everywhere in Tokyo, I was puzzled where it's from.

    PS: Guess what I found while googling for "Kuroneko" :smt043
