So I'm wait for a wood order from Steve at Colonial. He shipped it on Friday and I'm dieing to get my hands on it. I was wondering if anyone knows how long a UPS ground shipment usually takes to get to Canada.

Thanks!Graham Steward38908.7778125

Probably about 4-6 days, they have to clear it through customs.

Just so you know, you will most likly get a big surprise with the customs charge from UPS. I had an order come to the house here and the customs bill was $76 for two seat belts for my Landcruiser.

Hey, how's that second guitar coming along? I'm pretty much in need of the bending jig and form if you could swing it in the next week or two. Let me know.

Yeah I know about UPS's rip-off brokerage charges. I've had the displeasure of paying them before. On a positive note I bought so much stuff from Steve that he didn't charge me for shipping.

I can bring your bender and other stuff over this weekend. What kind of beer do you like? Or should I just search through the before pictures of your shop and look for bottles?   

Thanks!

Yup. Anything brown and cold will do just fine. Oh, I certainly like to share too. Opps, maybe I should have PM'd you that
