So uh, any local to the area folks have any recent news from A&A?

There are no "Local" guys for mark...

He's about 3 1/2 hours away from Winnipeg.

I'm sure he's doing all he can, you'll get contacted when whatever you've ordered has cleared customs.

out of curiosity why is it a 6 month min delay on it????? how do they set up time frames for this?

It will probably take them 2 days to sort through the order, and probably a month or so before they're done everything else and they can get around to checking it.
Now this is pure speculation, but I think they delay it for two reasons. One is to see what you do about it. Two is if theres any dangerous goods in it, you won't have them for the time that you require them. Because you know, terrorists don't plan ahead when importing dangerous goods or anything.

when you say " Now this is pure speculation, but I think they delay it for two reasons. One is to see what you do about it" do you mean what will mark do or what we do( would there even be anything that could be done?).
