O Canada!

Sometimes I feel like it'd be quicker for the Canadian postal service to strap deliveries on the back of a Galápagos tortoise, than to follow their usual procedures.

I paid for a copy of François Ribadeau Dumas' A la recherche des vampires (1976) from an eBay seller in Quebec on October 7, 2009.

I received the item today. It's not the first time I've experienced such delays with their postal service.
