So i got my 149 today, in perfect condition, polybagged etc. I'm totally happy. But I am curious.
An address sheet was in the bag with it, with a Canada Post label and a note saying 'If undeliverable return to..." an address in Windsor, Ontario.
Does Paizo have a shipping agent in Windsor?
Is this something customs did at the border?
Did a letter soreter carefully read my magazine then repackage it?
Just wondering. Totally unurgent.

This is a complete mystery to me. We certainly don't have any shipping agents in Canada that I know of.
My guess would be that the Windsor, ON address is some kind of Dead Letter Office for the Canada Post (although the linked article says the CP Dead Letter Office is in Mississagua).
Thanks,

Add one more to that list of nicely bagged 149s with a Canada Post slip of paper in it. I didn't look closely enough to see the "if not delivered" notice, but I did think it was odd that there was a Canada Post sheet in it. I figured that you guys has started shipping locally. This is also the first time in many months I received my Dungeon prior to the release of the next issue, another reason for me to think that it was shipped from somewhere in Canada. I know better now, but that just makes it odder still.

Okay this is really wacky...
I googled the address in windsor, and it is a company that specializes in bulk redistribution of American mailings to Canadian addresses.
So I thought I had solved it in that you had a mailing partner in Canada... perhaps you have a distributor that has a mailing partner in Canada?

Dragon and Dungeon issues are shipped by the printer; perhaps they got a new Canadian partner they haven't told us about yet.
I also have the same address with my magazine.
me too !!!!
In Ottawa
and it came SUPPER fast
I only got #148 like 2 weeks ago
whatever it was, it sure worked..
cant wait for this effiecency to continue over the next couple of years..oohh wait..dammit !!!
Mine came the same way. And fast, too. Just a couple of days after 148. Now, if only Dragon would show up as fast...

Just noticed something...
I just got Dragon 357 yesterday (as posted on the relevant thread), but it was shipped before Dungeon 149. Dragon 357 did not come with the Canada Post shipping sheet.
Clearly the printer's new distibution partner is far superior to their old system (and is very new). Too bad it came so late in the game.
Fortunately, stuff shipped directly from Paizo has always been pretty timely, so I suspect Pathfinder will have a better transit time than the Mags did.
Oh man, if only I could get one to come with a card that said, "When you are done reading this, please try to make it look like the bag wasn't opened and forward it to the orginal purchaser. Thanks!"
or "Reward if Un-lost."
