[QUOTE="Ryujin, post: 9605036, member: 27897"] If that sets you off then I don't suggest you sign up for email notifications. A couple of years ago I bought a Smallsword for a friend in Whiting, IN from a shop in Elgin, IL. I was hoping that she would do a CosPlay of "La Maupin." Elgin is just west of Chicago, close enough to be a suburb. Whiting is just across the border border between Indiana and Illinois, and is also a suburb of Chicago despite the border. It took a couple of days for the sword to go from Elgin to the postal clearing area at O'Hare. Then 3 days to go across O'Hare to the transshipment facility. After a few days there it was sent out to... Indianapolis. It then took a week to make it back to Whiting. Experience tells me that it would have made it to Toronto faster. I felt like driving down there, picking it up at the shop, then driving it to her house would have been easier on my blood pressure. [/QUOTE]
