The last item I got from the UK was Heavy Rain Limited Edition, and it arrived in exactly 14 days(coming to veags). Others in the US got it a week earlier, but mine took the full alotted time.
I ship and receive several international packages a month, and I will say with much experiance, there is no rhyme or reason to the time it can take. I had a package going to russia last month, and the buyer contacted me at 5 weeks to say it had not arrived. I was going to file a claim, and it arrived at 6 weeks. What the hell took so long?
Normally customs is the reason, but there is really nothing that can be done. I've actually had express international packages get held up by customs, and the buyer paid hundreds in shipping cost, only to get the finger from customs.
I had one package shipped from play asia, in early december, the other shipped in the middle of the month. The one that was shipped second actually arrived a week before the one that was sent early in the month(the same shipping used for both). I've got hundreds of international airmail stories! The good news is out of the thousands of packages I have mailed and recieved only 5 or 6 have gone missing, and none have ever arrived damaged. Anytime your waiting for something, it never arrives in a timely manner. Stop caring when you might see it, and it will arrive the next day.
