i am originally from the US, and the changes in shipping between the two countries knocked me over when I first moved here a decade or so ago. I guess I have gotten used to it. I know that when I order from Amazon US and have it shipped to me in Western Canada, the package usually first shows up 24 hours after my shipping notice (which coincides with billing) as being in Illinois. It then goes to Indiana, where is sits for up to a week, before getting on its way. Sometimes it is as little as 3 days.
And I have paid for this shipping, btw. I have paid a shipping charge, Canadian taxes, and any applicable duties.
Recently I bought something for my son and the exact same thing for me from Amazon US. He is in Michigan. His package came to him in two days, mine arrived at my house 10 days after he received his--12 days in all.
