Question about time it takes for CA to US customs to go through ... does it get processed faster/with less scrutiny than other country's mail coming into the US? I am hearing people getting mail from CA to southern USA in <5 days. I once waited 40+ days for a letter from India.

Just curious for those with experience.

There's many different types of mail options for Canada to USA. . There's express which only takes 2-3 days and sits in customs for a couple hours. Then the second fastest is "tracked packet" which usually stays in customs around 6/12hours and takes about 5/8 business days total. Then there's just standard mail with no tracking so it's impossible to see how long it stays in customs and that mail can take over a month sometimes. This is why it's annoying when people try to compare different Canadian vendors shipping times. Everyone uses different shipping options, and it depends if you're close to a big city/facility etc. So many factors.

Depends. My experience has been AK - 1 week. LG/FS/VC - 1 week. BCD (RC company that is called something else now) - 1 week, CF - 1 week, YC (retired) 1 week.

Karma Syndicate - never.
