You get what you pay for sometimes!
As a Canadian, let me tell you how Canada Post works. In the U.S., you have delivery confirmation, in Canada we don't. If you have a package coming to you from Canada of significant value and want to make sure you get it, you'll have to pay extra to get a tracking # and insurance. If I was shipping a card with a declared value of almost $600.00 to the states, I would ship it expedited and it would cost about $20.00-$25.00 for shipping.
Question to Pete Zouras: Did you only pay the $3.50 Standard Int'l Flat Rate Shipping fee for a $600.00 card? If you did your taking a crazy chance. You should have asked the seller what other shipping options could be provided including insurance and a tracking #. When your spending $600.00 on one card, what's another $25.00 to make sure you get it hassle free. If you paid for expedited you would have had it in 5-7 business days also.
Moral of the story... when buying an expensive card (especially from another country) DON'T go cheap on the shipping!
