Shipping times

Is shipping time to Canada really 58 days? I know you can pay to have faster shipping but its hard to imagine how something could be in the transit for 2 months. I've always been surprised by things that I purchase from China via ebay arriving in a week or two with very low postage charges.

thanks,
Gord

I often order IT related parts from eBay vendors who ship from China. Sometimes it comes in a less than a week and other times takes over a month. I believe how that works is they send it to a shipping aggregator who waits until they have a full air container and then perhaps wait for a plane that needs to fill an empty slot.

I did know shipping aggregators exist and that sounds pretty logical. Maybe I"ve just got lucky a few times with that type of shipping. Thanks!

The average isn't really 58 days. The problem with Canada is that shipping times are so variable, that I just quote the worst case scenario.
