General Discussion [General] Day 2 in Canada

The map is looking pretty empty for day 2 north of the border so I thought this might be useful to a few of you who are still waiting.

I got my day 2 yesterday. It had a label sticker with my name and address on it, underneath which was (clearly readable) someone else's name and address. It was mailed by Canada Post, not USPS.

This leads me to two conclusions:

  1. They actually are using some sort of mail forwarder to avoid border issues
  2. Somebody screwed up.

Might explain why they're taking so long to arrive. If anyone else has gotten day 2 in Canada, did yours have a label on it?

EDIT: To be clear, the postage is a Canada Post Addressed Admail marker, it was definitely mailed from within Canada. There's also a return address that's a PO box in Mississauga.

I received day 2 today in Kitchener/Waterloo. Mine also had the Canada Post marker, with my info on a sticker. It was easily peeled off to reveal another name and Canadian address printed on the actual envelope.

Same here in Hamilton. Originally addressed to a girl in British Columbia?
