Angry I spent $17 on shipping for my secret santa!

$3 for the right size box, and $14 on Express delivery within Canada.

This is what I get for waiting till the 22nd to ship my present.

If my no one gets a present from me by the 24th, I want to know. Canada Post is gonna get it from me.

I only shipped mine to the US yesterday, of course it won't make it in time, but that's just the way it goes

Actually, my gift is a food item, so it required Express post. It would have needed something that gets it to its destination within 48 hours, instead of 2-9 business days.

The food item is still good after 48 hours, but I'd be terrified of it after 9 days.

HASH BROWNIES

But really... it's a certain food that some Polish immigrants perfected in one particular North American city, that is far superior to all others, except for one close second, New York.

If I start going on about my love for these products I'll never get to bed tonight.

$3 for the box, and it would have been $4 more for the shipping if I took regular delivery... But you don't want baked goods getting there in 2-9 business days. The person would open it up and it would be hard as a rock and moldy. When they say 2-9, it's more like 7-11.

This is guaranteed delivery within 48 hours. Food will still be edible.
