Hello All,

Al, I'm not sure which end your on, I'm in the far east in N.S. ;-)

Generally I've had the best luck with USPS bar none. If shipping, go fedex
! UPS is a major hassle. They change
carriers in New Brunswick which makes tracking hard if there is a problem.
Fedex on the other hand is a little more $$
but hassles free. The rule of thumb for me with USPS is 10 days when
receiving and about 5-6 when sending.

Regards, Wally
