Ya know that's rich coming from someone living in a country where the postal service is incapable of getting a signature for delivery of a package.
From where I sit, the difficulty isn't getting the mail delivery on THIS side of the border, it's getting it from Chile Pepper's shipping center TO the border that takes so danged long.

LOL!!! You've GOT to be joking. I constantly have stuff getting to where I sent it in Canada in roughly a week. If it's mailed FROM Canada, I'm lucky if it's 2 and a half to 3 weeks. I wouldn't be concerned about a little signature, I'd be more concerned with your enitire postal service. Perhaps if they fed the sled dogs more than Soylent Green, they'd be a little quicker.
I hate to break it to you, but Canada post gives up control of the mail at the border. If it is taking three weeks for mail to get to you from Canada, it is the fault of your own postal service.

Yeah, ok. Considering the people sending me stuff (yes, they are Canadian) are constantly complaining about getting stuff out of Canada. You're worried about a signature, it seems the majority of others I deal with in Canada are more concerned with getting the entire package OUT of their country. Like I said, it takes about a week for anything we send to get there. And there are time stamps on all the packages. Interesting how the time stamps are roughly 3 days from being stamped by the US and then arriving at our door. It HAS to be the sled dogs to the north.
Frankly, I could care less how long it takes for one of my packages to get to a US Postal address, I would simply appreciate confirmation that the US Postal service actually delivered it, this is easily shown by a signature. Which I might add is why I don't use the postal service to make the US deliveries -- I use GMX Worldwide. I shouldn't have to email a customer to ask if the US Postal Service delivered their order.
Fwiw, though, I haven't had any problem getting anything out of Canada, I'm registered with the FDA and all of our shipments are PN compliant. I would simply like the option of receiving a confirmation from the Postal Service that the package was actually delivered. As it stands, I can't even pay for that service. In fact, the second that a package is signed for at the border, I cease to be able to track it.
Which makes ya think. You're getting slow delivery of shipments from Canada, and I'm getting no service once the US Postal Service gets involved. Sounds like it's Pony Express not Canadian sled dogs.

Interesting how I've never had a problem. Perhaps it's that little black cloud.

Of course it is, my packages always arrive on time.
Anybody try Brita filtered vodka. Apparently you can improve cheap vodka by simply filtering it through a brita filter several times. They did it on mythbusters. Here's a link

Here's a spin on the teabag method for making spicy vodka...
Take your favorite vodka and epmty out the contents into a suitable container. Fill bottle with peppers of your choice (I used jalapeños and pequins) and refill the bottle. Let it sit for about a week in a dark cool area. Enjoy spicy shots, Bloody Mary's or Martinis. You can eat the peppers, but you will get a good buzz from them.
Oh, your vodka will change color.

My sister has a catering business and she does it just like that. I talked to her this weekend and she explained it all to me over the phone. Too bad she won't use hotter peppers in it when she makes it(she makes a boatload of it and then gives it out as Christmas gifts from her business)

Hmmm, perhaps. I have tried both ways, and the powdered orange habs in a teabag will kick the heat up way more than whole peppers. It has to do with the amount of surface area the alcohol hits, and there is far more surface area ina couple teabags than there is with a whole peppers. Give it a shot, you'll be pleasantly surprised. The whole peppers look a lot cooler for show, but if you want heat, bag it!
someone enlighten me......was watching something on tv and they said something like to make a low cost vodka into a high priced vodka run it thru a brita filter a cpl of times???? wonder what would be the diffence in the taste??

"Mythbusters" did a bit on this recently and concluded that, while it does perhaps improve the flavor of bad vodka a bit, it really doesn't make a silk purse from a sows ear. That and the fact that by the time you've bought the filters and whatnot, it's going to cost more to filter "bad" vodka (is there really such a thing as "bad" alcohol) into "good" vodka than it would to just buy "good" vodka in the first place.
i guess its kinda like riding in a 64 dodge dart or a brand new ferrari...you still get to your destination.........drunk
