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.

Sumthin' sounds fishy. I'd be pissed too. The person handling the money and sending out orders should relieve him/herself.

I'm more pissed about being ignored than not getting the stuff yet and it's not really time sensitive
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?

If it's not too late, stop payment. That may bring them out of hibernation.

Usually something ordered from Canada does take longer.

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.

keep us updated on this if you would Bob...bad service like this should be communicated to others who may use it....

I have ordered in the past and really had no problems.

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.
===========================
In order to resolve your issue faster you can contact me directly at cech@tbaytel.net . Unfortunately I have another job to go to this afternoon but I’m available weekends.

Sorry for all the bother

Such language, boji! :)

Hope you get it worked out.

I do know they are a excellent group of which much of it is voluntary,and profits go back into maintaining Quetico.

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.... :-)

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.

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 :-)

Got my stuff and all was well in the world again.

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.

A moderator is posting this threat of war?

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.

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