I knew it! There was a report on the news tonight that a surge in Canadians shopping online with US retailers (ever since the loonie approached, and then passed, par) has resulted in a big backlog of mail-order parcels at Canada Post, and major delays in delivery.
On September 29th, I placed an order with an American cosmetics company for some speciality skin-care products that I can't get here. I finally received the parcel yesterday, over a month later. At least the Customs charges were very modest - since you never know, when you do mail-order from the US, what kind of unpleasant surprise you might get from Customs, once your stuff finally arrives.
