Canada post : - Important Documents?

Question

I am supposed to recieve some important documents from Buffalo, NY. The people sending them, sent them by regular mail( i think its ground), on Jan 29th. i have been waiting almost one and a half weeks for the documents to arrive but havent got them yet. Amongst the documents is my passport that I am scared of losing. I live in Mississauga, ON which is almost a 2 hour drive from Buffalo. Am I anxious for no reason or should I be really worried?! Serious answers only please

Answer 1

They should have sent it express. You will be waiting at least 2-3 weeks for it, and possibly more than 6. You just shouldn't send a passport in anything but express!!

Answer 2

I've sent mail from Canada to the US in the past, and it usually takes a while. Not too sure how it works the other way around, but according to the US Postal Services website, your mail could take anywhere from 4 to 6 weeks if it was sent by Economy.

Answer 3

Yes you should be anxious because of identity theft. Also it depends on the documents they are sending you. If they maybe valueable to someone else.
