Paid the extra for the 3-5 day shipping to Canada. Hadn't checked the tracking in a few days and figured it might be arriving today so just checked on that. Instead I was greeted with this.

Should I be contacting Fan Gamer? The e-mail with the shipping confirmation has the right address so there shouldn't have been a mistake with that. But there is no logical reason why it should have gone from LA to London when I am in Calgary. London, Ontario I could understand since a lot of imports tend to go through the East first. But London, England?
Still no update with the tracking so tried calling USPS who were no help at all. Can't tell me where the package is and then after being passed around from person to person tried to blame FanGamer for putting the wrong address on the package. But Canada Post who would take over the package in Canada show that a shipping label destined for Canada was created on April 30th if you put the tracking number into their site. So it obviously must have a Canadian address on it and no reason it should have gone to England.
Decided to order a copy from VGP after getting off the phone to avoid the risk of not getting a copy at all since who knows where the other package has ended up. Sucks that what is a $30 US game is now costing me over $120 at the moment thanks to somebody in a post office somewhere that doesn't know basic world geography or something. Wish I would have known VGP were getting some before ordering since it is cheaper and I would think Canada Post will know Canada well enough not to send the package off to England. If the other one does show up I guess I could do a return to sender and just be out the shipping cost since FanGamer say they won't refund the shipping cost on their faq. Or might be better off just seeing if a friend wants it. I have never sold anything on Ebay.
If it doesn't show up at all I would assume they would refund it right? Never dealt with FanGamer to know if I am in for a customer support headache or not.
Sadly still not the most I have spent on a Vita game. Between the cost of it, the shipping cost and then getting hit by UPS brokerage fees the Technika Tune Limited Edition sure didn't come cheap. But it was worth every cent.
