Ok.... well I contacted Canada Post again, they are no help. Even though the plants are in thier possession, there's "nothing they can do." Apparently the trace can only be started from the senders end, esp if it's out of country. CZ had a 1 week garuntee on the order to get to me, so now he's gonna have to get the order traced, get re-imbursed/collect the insurance, and re-send them, assuming by now the plants are no longer gonna make it...
In the last e-mail I got from him, he did not answer some of my most important questions about the what if factor, and has not e-mail me back after asking again. I'm hoping he is waiting to trace the package and have good news before responding again...
To everyone, my apologies, I don't think this could have been any worse. This is quite the introduction to me about ordering out of country... I really hope this will work out fine, just a delay in us getting our plants.

I don't think things are that bad. The plants are probably sitting in a big warehouse, a little below room temperature, in sealed packages with adequate humidity. We're still just over 2 weeks. Judging by the 10 days they held my seeds the package should start moving in a few days and be delivered within a week. Keep the faith, we can always be depressed later.

That's very good news that the plants arrived. I wish the best to all of you who were in on the CZ group order. Here's hoping that everyone's plants arrive healthy and speedily from here. Good effort on coordinating this order, prmills.
