My boxes have arrived in Canada. I know because on Friday I stood at the office window and photographed the boat they were on.
Unfortunately, my boxes have now been moved from the docks in downtown Vancouver to a warehouse in (relatively) remote Surrey. I have also been given an invoice for the following:
- Advance Commercial Information: $25.00
- Dewey-Decimal Classification: $28.49
- Security surcharge: $15.00
- Handling charge: $115.00
- Dock fee: $35.00
P.S. The above photo is in the Golden Ratio proportions (ie. 1 pixel high for every (-1+sqrt(5))/2 pixel wide, or approximately 1:0.618). This is the ratio used in a lot of classical buildings, and is meant to be the most appealing of all ratios. I'm only commenting on it because I noone would notice/care otherwise. :)

I would have thought some of those charges should have been included in the original cost. Pain in the butt that the boxes have been moved out of Vancouver. Heard a Chinese proverb this morning "There is no sugar cane that is sweet at both ends". Hopefully what you have packed is worth all the trouble.
