Canadian postal system and customs can be very slow, the last item I got from Cananda took 19 days, from the other posts I would guess this may be the problem and it is a shame as it is one of the primary reasons a lot of hams will not fool with dealing with our friends up north, I am pretty sure you will get your item, maybe you already received it and feel bad now for your statement as I did not see you reply when he stated he had proof it was delivered, I have learned from experience not to jump to conclusions or ASUME, I have been guilty of it a few times due to some of the bad posts I have read on this swap net and others but now I just try to research it as well as possible, get good phone numbers and verify them and good addresses and get references if I can get them, I also use Ebay if they have a user name and if all looks good then probably ok, but never a 100% guarantee for sure. I hope this works out, if the item was just left and he has proof that it was delivered then it may have been taken off your poarch and that does happen a lot more then you think especially with small packages or UPS who most of the time just drop and run. I have found Canadian hams to be just as honest as American hams, it has nothing to do with if you live this side of the border or on the other side, it has to do with people and honesty, truth, and honor. I hope you find it ok, 73 N0XE
