Break up is when the river gets to rotten to cross and the boats are still buried under 4 foot of snow. It takes awhile before boating begins. It is not about walking.

Actually I did get your meaning.  My little jab was metaphorical in intent.  I think its pretty cool when people still live at the mercy of mother nature in going about their day to day business.

Your cheque was printed on the 8th...at some later point stuffed in an envelope, and at some much later date put in a bag and carried across the border to a US mail center.

Maybe the slow process is the incentive plan to encourage direct deposit? Most business and organizations prefer direct deposit.

walleyed's FHA cheque  finally arrived in his mailbox this morning. The cheque issue date was April 8th, 2024 so Mark Downey probably didn't mail it out until he got back from going  "On Holiday". We're in the money now  !!!!    w

I can well imagine a cheerful song emitting from the pirogues as the express makes its way west to the Columbia district.  Hopefully they don't get the cheques wet traversing the Dalles!

Are you into eating gold wafers again. and the hard part about it is you still have to wait for you # 2 castor sales all over again. If there is a "promotion date" then it should be all the same for everyone on a level playing field if they value your fur input into the business.

Prompt date? It seems odd that U.S. shippers do not have a direct deposit option. ( At least currently according to FHA website ) There are American banks in Cambridge, WI. Not an expert here, but payments for fur appear to be in U.S. dollars. Deposit some U.S. dollars in an American bank and offer direct deposit to shippers?
