I do lots of mailing to and fro Canada. Sometimes packages get stuck in customs for two weeks. I always plan for a month

Letters are faster."

Lighten up geeeeeeeez. Everyone but you knew it was a joke...

And they had lost the order. So you were double wrong.

These are our friends. Remember to spell it neighbours.

My letters seem to have no slowdown.

Thanks RC, I would be planning an Invasion if it weren't for you.... I'm sure they have WMD's. "

Who knows maybe we would be getting blockaded at the border crossing and no Quetico for us.

Boy I am glad all is well and we are kissing friends with are neighbors again.

And packing slip bobbers so we can use LEECHES!
GraniteCliffs 03/23/2015 09:17PM
Come on, you fell for that? You know, the old "checks in the mail" response? I was sharpening my paddle for the invasion...

Thwarted 03/23/2015 07:54PM
Whew! That was close. I had my fishing pole out and was sharpening my BARBED hooks.
bojibob 03/23/2015 05:14PM
War has been avoided. Go ahead and put your Muskets back in the closet.

I used the the email that RC provided and got a warm body that says my order is in the mail!!!!

Thanks for all your help.

p.s. We would have won and occupied Quetico :-)

I thought I heard that F of Q shutdown. Something about the guy running it relocated and no one else picked it up. I too wanted a few entry point patched but never got a response to my email.
bojibob 03/20/2015 03:16PM
Thanks for all the advice and potential contact info. I have emailed them again and will see what happens.

I understand they are volunteers. But I volunteer here and do my job!

I won't declare War on Canada yet.... :-)
Pinetree 03/20/2015 12:12PM
I do know they are a excellent group of which much of it is voluntary,and profits go back into maintaining Quetico.
schweady 03/20/2015 12:01PM
Such language, boji! :)


Hope you get it worked out.
RC 03/20/2015 11:38AM
I figured maybe the Friends of Quetico website contact form was not working correctly and maybe they were not getting their email so I searched for an alternative email address and sent a note mentioning this message thread and I got the reply below.

I have ordered in the past and really had no problems.
Longpaddler 03/20/2015 08:27AM
keep us updated on this if you would Bob...bad service like this should be communicated to others who may use it....
OldFingers57 03/20/2015 05:56AM
I've gotten lots of stuff from Canada thru ebay and it hasn't taken that long to get it thru the mail. In fact they have been quicker then the USPS at times. So I would be calling them or emailing them again and if no response do a stop payment on your order.
Pinetree 03/19/2015 09:43PM
Usually something ordered from Canada does take longer.
old_salt 03/19/2015 09:18PM
If it's not too late, stop payment. That may bring them out of hibernation.
Mocha 03/19/2015 09:13PM
is that the gift shop in the office in Atikokan?
could be a canadian holiday month?
1-807-597-2735 might still work.
maybe your stuff is held up at customs... doing a background check on Boji..hmmmmm?
bojibob 03/19/2015 08:08PM
I'm more pissed about being ignored than not getting the stuff yet and it's not really time sensitive
tumblehome 03/19/2015 07:22PM
Sumthin' sounds fishy. I'd be pissed too. The person handling the money and sending out orders should relieve him/herself.

Interesting. What did you order and has there been any word from them?
bojibob 03/19/2015 06:55PM

I placed a web order on 2-5 and still haven't received it. I paid via PayPal and confirmed they got paid.

I also emailed them on 2-25 and 3-4 with NO RESPONSE. I emailed again today.

If I don't hear back soon. We will go to War.
