Eta C, that's more than a little unfair. The problem with that shipping option wasn't evident until it was much too late to do anything about it.
Canada Post's shipping options, except Same-day Air (which is actually done by Purolator, a separate private courier), all apparently hand off to USPS at the border. Canada Post says 8-10 days for its slowest ground option to the US (and has no trouble at all doing 3-5 domestically). If Canada Post is being told one thing while USPS is doing another, then LICD is just as much a victim as their clients were.
Why would LICD assume that the USPS shipped slower than most 3rd world countries do? Especially considering they're supposed to be competing (if nominally) with UPS.
LICD corrected the shipping problem within days of the massive delays becoming apparent. They'd officially switched to UPS, come to think of it, before I'd even gotten my own copy.
Next year's book mass-ship went well, by all reports.
