  4. Hi, I ordered a package from Huntsville Ontario on 23 September. The delivery was ‘fulfilled’ on 24 November. It is now 15th February and still no sign of the package: I understand it might have been sent surface by mistake, but still it is months since it was despatched! Apparently once it has left Canada the shop can’t track it?
