I think I can beat that.
I ordered a CW filter and an I/F module for my K3, back in November (my
Christmas present to me). 2 days (I think) to travel across the USA, 2 more
days to arrive in the UK. 2 WEEKS in UK customs, then it was released to
Parcel Force (the UK box shifter) who then managed to lose it for a week and
finally after several phone calls and a threat of court action, they
suddenly 'found' it again and it was delivered almost a month late and well
after Christmas! Grrrrr.................

Lucky friend! Here is how it goes in the Middle East: I ordered a pair
of filters from Elecraft. It took
2 days from Watsonville CA to New York,
1 day to Tel Aviv,
10 days to get through customs,
4 days -- and counting -- for the post office to notify me to come and
find out how much the duty and VAT will be.
I still don't have my filters! Next time I'll try UPS.
