You're right -- it was in Vancouver the next morning, and FedEx called around noon to get a VISA number so they could pay the tax on it (ack, for the full amount -- thanks SB) plus a $7 brokerage fee (not bad I guess.)

Pathetic that the package makes 90% of the journey overnight (less than 24 hours!) and the last 10% takes another 24 hours. I guess if I lived in Vancouver, I could just go pick it up now.

Never keep a geek waiting for his hardware purchases. ;)
