I once ordered some out of print books from
the US
(about a year ago) and it took 2 months. When they arrived I'd
forgotton
that I'd ordered them.. Nice surprise though.. The books were
about
$7 in total and it would have cost at least $30 to send them, I settled $8
surface (I object to paying more than the cost of the object for
shipping
the object.. a dollar more I could just about manage)
I remember once it was the last friday before
christmas and at about 4pm (our time) I faxed an order for a (deleted on
the
grounds of embarrasment) lifesize cutout to a sci-fi store in the states
which I
was startled to receive on the following tuesday morning, christmas
eve.

I just received something from the US by
Global priority mail in about 4
days!. OK this is only for small items (postage was $5 for up to 4 pounds
weight and it has to fit in the envelope). I have also received
other much bigger parcels in 16 days or less...the maximum I can
recall
was 18 days and all of these deliveries have happened AFTER the
tightened
security.
I don't know what service your suppliers are using
buit it doesn't sound good! Do you know how much the postage is costing and
the weight of the items as this might give some
clues?

Surfacemail from the States
Hi
Ian
I've got a piece of test gear on it's way from Arizona by
surface mail and the dealer said that it will take four to six weeks
so your guy might not be too far
out.
