That would be the US Customs causing delays when importing goods.

I now see why you have been concerned . i would not worry about the 6week delay that doesnt happen all the time. i still think you have it for the weekend but not fully sure some time early next week would be the latest i think.

With the Canadian so strong against the US dollar...lots of people are online shopping and clogging up customs. There are externals forces that cannot be controlled right now. The wait is on the US side...not the Canadian.

That is true as well . canada customs doesnt care about what goes into the US . only the US customs cares about that, its the US side with some delays but this is express post so should see very little delay if any ,customs does stuff by the type of shipping it was sent with i am sure.

I am sure it will be there and with lots of time for you to give it as a Christmas present to your son. i do think it still needs the AA batteries for the radio so good idea to have then for the day . also maybe take it out and charge the pack . i know i would have been stressed as a kid waiting for a pack to charge LOL.

Thanks for the reassurance snopro. My son's xmod is already thrashed and now he's eyeing my Mini z.

I'm sure the 18R will last longer for him I hope.
