In the end, the problem was figured out.

They were honest and pretty good about things, so I have no problem using them again.


Originally, this post was made because I didn't receive a couple orders from them. It turned out it was something out of their control.

I haven't had issues. However, last I used them was about 3 weeks ago.

I did use the eBay storefront that time so I dunno?

It's got to be a Canadian thing. They're not the fastest shippers, but I've never had a problem with them from my recollection. I just received a silver GCN controller from them a couple days ago, too. Was here in a few days.

I haven't ordered from them in months, but I've never had problems with them. I'm thinking like o.pwuaioc said, it's the Canadian postal system. I've never been impressed with them.

I'm not a big fan of the postal system here either, but 6 weeks when it is usually 2 is ridiculous. I've ordered from them quite a bit, and it is usually within a day or two of 2 weeks (which is already long enough!!!). I'm almost wondering if they got "lost" in the mail.

It has some good stuff in it, like Darius Gaiden, Galactic Attack and Bug! on the Saturn, Yoshi's Island and Illusion of Gaia on the SNES, etc. I guess I'm glad to hear that nobody else here (yet) has had issues lately.

Yeah I think I agree with the rest, I think its your local postal system, although I never ordered from them for like a couple of years, but I never had any problem, besides having a down right broken Life Force game...thats about it.

I always wonder why people blame the Canadian postal system. Shipping within Canada is extremely fast. All packages are sent air mail, even surface packages from the USA. Even when items are stopped at customs, they come through extremely quickly.

What usually happens is the shipper sends something first class. So it takes about a week just to get to the border, where it will languish under piles of other regular mail. Items that are shipped Priority mail arrive from the USA often within five business days.

If they sent your package first class, it could take anywhere up to six weeks to arrive, although I find that three weeks is average. Since they didn't offer a tracking number to you and you don't know where the package currently is, I have to assume they did indeed send it first class. Sending games first class is pretty low class. But this is Lukie we are talking about, the people who slap their logo on everything you buy and send you items that look different from the photo.

I've ordered stuff from Lukie Games before and never had any issues.

There was one time I bought something from a company in Canada that took 6+ weeks to ship. Tracking didn't show any movement in Canada until the 5th week.

The photos at their website (I don't use eBay) are all generic photos. Yes, it was first class. It's free shipping from them that way. Otherwise, I pay for higher shipping.

So, probably a customs hang-up is the consensus?

That's my thought. I wasn't insinuating that it was a local Canadian problem, but it was a border problem. Did they not give you a tracking number, or is that only when you buy through eBay?
