Your Homeland Security people and my Mounties will need to peek in the
parcel...It might be contra-band. When I send stuff to Damsel (who is
about 200 miles away) it takes about 7-10 days on average.

First it goes to Toronto (1500 miles from me) to be custom inspected
then to my main post office...then to my branch. In reverse the other
way.

Not sure where it goes in your country before it gets in Canada
(Probably 4 working days to leave your country and another 4 to get to
me on a good day). Canada has no chile crops so it should be ok. And
penzey has sent me dried chiles with no problem in the past.

Hell over night fed-ex from the US takes 3 days. So don't worry

A five ounce bird could not carry a one pound coconut.

Are you suggesting coconuts migrate?
