Borderline Issues

So, I ordered two things from two different web sites on 3 January. One was from a business based in Utah, USA, and one was from a business based in Ontario, Canada. Both sent me confirmation emails that my order had been shipped that day, both by first-class mail.

The order from Utah arrived yesterday. I am told to expect the shipment from Ontario in 2-3 weeks, "as snail-mail has been getting snailier of late."

I mean, how long does some dog need to sniff my software CD in order to satisfy his handler that it will not, in fact, explode, infect the populace, or cure a medical condition for very small dollars?

Global economy, my ass. Bet it doesn't take WalMart that long to get crap from China.
