(ron martin) how long will it take to recieve a pakage from

[Anonymous]

how long will it take to recieve a pakage from canada montial to texas using expadite mail. ron martin sent it to me on the 14 th of aug. but still have not recieved it. i recieved a traking number from him but the last time it said any thing was today. "recieved by cpc in bolton onterio",
it's been like six or seven days they recieved it on the 14th. but that's all




craig by the way thanks again ron......

It usually takes a couple of weeks, but it can get held up in customs due to the heightened security due to 9/11. The blackout on the north eastern seaboard will probably hang it up a little longer. Hang in there, as long as you have a tracking number you will be ok............they only lose things that they are not responsible for.

Bolton, Ontario!!!! It hasn't made it very far yet. Growing up in Toronto I used to drive out to Bolton to visit a friend every now and then. Only 45 min away.

Keep at 'em with the tracking number and if you get nothing then badger them with a phone call.

You also have to keep in mind that shippers don't always update their location stats either. I have had packages say they are in memphis whe in fact they are at my house! :twisted:

I just read your query, and cannot answer it, as all of the Postal offices are already closed for the weekend.

Canada Post only works Monday-Friday, although some of their gateway operations work on Saturdays.

Don't forget, We had an electrical failure of immense proportions here last week, and the Government demanded industries cut back on all electrical usage for the week. They even kept some governmental offices closed almost all week.

It is possible that the part was slowed a bit, or even temporarily stopped by that.

Another possible reason that might have slowed it down is Customs. My package from the US was opened at Canada Customs, most likeley looked a bit suspicious with all those little metal parts and wires (points and condensers). Depending on what was in thepackage, US Customs may have wanted to take a closer look to see exactly what was in the package.

Craig, I've got a starter off of an 850 that should work for you. I bought it when I thought mine was dead, then found out all I need to do was loosen the two screws that hold the starter together and mine works fine. The one off of the 850 is a two brush, but will work for the gs1100gk (same size housing). If you're interested pm me or email me at dgeorge1124@hotmail.com I don't have internet access at home and I'm off for the next 4 days so if I don't get back to you right away thats why.

[argonsagas]

Craig, I do not think you have the wrong starter.

The piece on the end (Sprocket) may not belong to your bike, but the starter came off a GS1100GK, along with several other parts that I bought at separate auctions.

The sprocket was either with the starter when I got it last year, or it was just in the box on the shelf with the starter when I went to get it for you. It fit on the spline, so I sent it.

Many starters use a splined shaft with a drive gear. Suzuki does this too.

You can either find the necessary gear still on your bike, under the stator cover, and sitting oh the starter drive, or it is still on your original starter.


First, check the part numbers on both starters. Look at the units and be sure they are the same. Then go ahead and install the new one.

I checked it. It works.
