A bit of a weird one, i had a package that was supposed to be in Quebec last week. Its gone from the gta to Stony Creek to Montreal to Mississauga and is not in transit again. Should I be worried?

This happened with a trade a friend sent to me a couple years ago. Shipped from Vancouver, made it to Mississauga, we watched and waited, and then it was in transit on the way back to Vancouver. Turns out a couple bottles had opened and it was a leaky mess, but they still returned to sender.

Another time, a package sat in Mississauga for several days. Trading partner finally was able to get someone on the phone who tracked the package down and said "yeah, you can't ship alcohol by Canada Post. Your package is going to be destroyed."

I'm not saying to be worried, but...

Good luck!
