    My EDD is Sept. 2nd, however as of right now, Purolator's tracking site still lists my laptop as being "In Transit in U.S.", which would be fine and dandy, except I'm in Ontario, Canada. Any chance of it clearing customs and arriving tomorrow as scheduled? It's Labour Day today and Purolator's automated answering system says they're not working, so I'm steeling myself for disappointment. :(

    I am not sure if it will make it to you by tomorrow but my estimated delivery date was today (Sept. 1) and I live in Toronto . On Friday I recieved a phone call from Purolator telling me it would be delivered on the 2nd between 9:00 and 5:00. Luckily for me UofT's fall session doesn't begin until the 8th so I will be at home to recieve it. Hopefully you will get it tomorrow or Wednesday at the latest :)

    Did your CID happen to list a 713 number when Purolator called? I ask because I've missed two calls from a number with that area code in the past couple of days, but nobody left a message. This probably means my package will be delayed. :(

    I actually answered the phone when they called so don't remember the number on the phone. My packages is listed as on the truck for delivery as of 7:00am today. You should have an updated status listed as of now.

    Purolator's page is still stubbornly declaring my package is "In Transit in U.S. via U.S.A. GROUND LINEHAUL depot". I think what irritates me is that this hasn't changed since the first time I checked my order's status. I feel like it's just sitting in limbo somewhere. =/

    It may be that they just haven't updated it in a while. When I ordered from DHL, there was a very long delay between what happened and when it appeared online. I got mine the 21, and it appeared on the site as delivered the 23rd.
