This may not happen but to be on the safe side, be prepared for any parcel & mail delays if it does.  :(

That would absolutely suck for all of us!

DSJ -- I clicked on that link and noticed you have a different username over there... any reason?  And yes, we do have the fastest site on the Net.           8)

When I registered there, I picked Vlix as my name. You cannot change it. The only way do to so is if I re-register & pick another name & all my posts will be under 2 user names. So I just stuck with it as people would remember me by the one name.
I really wish they could change names.  :(

I think my Avatar is a dead giveaway.  ;)

Still a strong possibility of a strike in Canada.  Both sides are negotiating, but from words of one of the carriers, don't count on your mail in July :o

Well crap.  You BETTER get my package before anything actually goes down, or I'll be pissed!  It already seems to be running pretty late in getting to you.  Bob got his 12" Gammy in just about 5 or 6 days, and Shawn (in Montreal, Quebec) already got a figure I sent him just a week ago, so I don't know what the heck's taking your package so long Dale!   :-\

Making me a little nervous, I tell ya'!  Give me a shout as soon as it shows up bud...   :-*

A postal strike in Canada?  That is definitely not good news.

I have 4 Star Wars packages on route from some good people here at JD and RS. Hopefully they arrive before the Post Office Strikes Back.  >:(

I'm just glad I barely snuck my packages in to Dale and Shawn in the nick of time!  Guess I'll have to hold off on doing anymore Canada trades 'til the situation gets resolved...

Sorry fellas!   :-\  Let us know how things turn out...
