Answer 4

Canada Post 'Expedited Parcel' is mostly a ground service in the boundaries of Canada. When Expedited USA is chosen as a shipping method, it picks up speed very quickly once in the states, especially after customs is done with it.



The USPS recently revamped their Priority Mail service. Based on the last tracking update you provided [Depart USPS Sort Facility September 10, 2013 - 00:00 ELK GROVE VILLAGE, IL 60007] - I would bet money that you get it tomorrow or Thursday at the latest.

It would go by air from Toronto to Chicago, and then again to Seattle (after clearing Customs). The final journey would be by truck.
