How Long for package from Ontario, Canada to Massachusetts, US?

Question

I ordered an article of clothing from a merchant in Mississauga, Ontario; I live in Massachusetts. On Thursday I received a Canada Post tracking number, so I know it was mailed around then. I don't recall ever dealing with international mail, so I have no experience here; approximately how long will it take to arrive given the relatively short distance? It says on the tracking form that it is "USA Letterpost". Thanks.

I bought a soccer jersey from eBay and it sent on July 22nd, sending from the same place you mentioned. It's August 11th and it still hasn't arrived yet. Apparently they can hold your item in customs and it can be sitting there for a while if they've forgotten about it, etc. But prepare to wait, unless if you're lucky. I'm in California, by the way. But if you're lucky, around 6-10 days.

Oh, and they don't work on Saturdays and Sundays.
