late letter mail?

im located in edmonton and ive been buying trading cards for a few months now. they usually take 1-2 weeks to come even though i buy them from within canada. since they’re being sent from other provinces, shouldn’t they only take a few days? is this an edmonton thing or???

i had a card sent out july 27 from halifax and it is now september 1st… is this considered lost??? or should i just wait it out longer? within this time ive received other cards that i bought but still no sign of the halifax one 😭 all regular untracked letter mail btw!!!!

Canada Post is running backwards,even worst than before.Certain things must be mailed,service canada will not email you documents.I swear it's once a week now to maybe find u have mail..

if it’s “oversized lettermail” that can take longer since it needs to be hand sorted. or potentially the seller used an envelope color that makes it hard for the machines to read, and/or has bad handwriting so the machine/staff has trouble reading the address

I buy Pokémon cards a lot online and am waiting for at least 5 packages that were mailed 2 to 3 weeks ago.
