I'm in SK and haven't had any issues, NB may be different, the biggest difference seems to be where the package clears customs.

My last order arrived within a week, but that is unusual, I allow at least a month. Sometimes WLT throws in a few bottles of casing.

I feel like they set the package aside when the little bottles show on the scanner until someone has the time to open the box and make sure it is all legal!
