This is true! Though in your case there is the excuse of the ocean. In my case my agent who lives about three times as far from NYC as I do got her copies on Monday. Silly borders! ;)
Hmm ... you could send the customs officers an autographed postcard with the cover of your book on it and an underlined address of where they can buy it. ;)
Thanks for friending me back, by the way! Nice to meet another Canadian on LJ.
Yikes, two months! At that point I'd start wondering if they actually sent it (or sent it when they said they did). I've rarely had anything take longer than a couple weeks. Have you contacted the seller?
Just today I got something from the USPS -- a baggie with a torn brown paper covering inside...apparently, one of the book packages I sent (to UT, for crying out loud -- right next door, practically) was destroyed en route...this on top of hearing that others have taken around 2 or 3 weeks to arrive. Sadly, the USPS isn't much better :(
Oh no! Thankfully I've rarely had anything get truly damaged or lost in the mail.
I'm not sure what method my editor used to send the ARCs... Might have been USPS, actually, though usually it's been UPS. Whenever I've gotten stuff (revision notes, copyedits) in the past they always got here in a few days, but maybe this is a bigger package and those take longer.

And I don't think I even realized you're Canadian! Whereabouts are you?
