![]() The "hub and spoke" delivery system that GSP uses, is the same one that Canada Post and USPS use. In over 35 years in mail order, I have accepted that it takes about 20 days for an item to be delivered to or from Canada from any where in North America. GSP is "super expensive" because it includes Canadian duty and sales taxes, even on items between $20Cdn and $100Cdn which are usually ignored by CBSA and Canada Post, but which cannot legally be ignored by couriers like GSP/Pitney Bowes. The stuff sent though GSP actually ships twice which is why it is super expensive and very slow. There have been a few recent reports of carriers other than Canada Post being employed for the Canadian leg of Global Shipping Program-forwarded items and those carriers are exercises in frustration to deal with in the event of a problem. Here's hoping that your item is easily trackable this way and with a carrier that's easy to deal with. From there, I was taken to the Canada Post website and the item's Canada Post tracking code was there for me to use. ![]() Just below (I think) that meter was a link I could click to track the item "on the carrier's website". The last time I used this site, after I entered the "UPA" tracking code, I was taken to a page with a "progress meter" for the item's journey. If you have the "UPA." tracking code, you should be able to find out more about where your item has been on this site: The seller sent it to a sorting hub somewhere in the UK to be forwarded to Canada from there.įirst of all, make sure the "delivery" being referred to is actually to Canada and not to the forwarding centre in the UK. It's just a coded heads-up that your item wasn't sent directly to you by the seller. "International Priority Shipping" is the term used by the Global Shipping Program to describe the network of carriers, freight forwarders and logistics companies Pitney Bowes subcontracts in the Program's operations.
