Hopefully they packed it well, and hopefully they don't leave the box on the tarmac for too long.

Theoretically, it can work out alright. I didn't mean to scare you, sorry. I've had both good and bad experiences in extreme weather conditions.

But heck, I've had bad experiences in GOOD weather. Don't ever let someone ship something to you by Westjet on the weekend (ie. on a Sunday). The Calgary office closes at 5 on Sunday. So if you're flight arrives at 5:30 (and sometimes flights are delayed, so even if it was DUE to arrive before 5, but doesn't), you cannot claim your box until next morning. Unless you catch the guys before they close the office, and pay them a $150 "out of office hours" fee.

Air Canada though, tends to be open until 11pm everyday. So it depends on the carrier as well as the day of the week.
