Originally I could get goods from Elecraft in a week, even given my
offshore, remote location, but now I'm lucky if it's here within 2
weeks. It annoys me that I can track the parcel from Aptos to Aberdeen
and see it take 3 days at most, then have this stupid rigmarole of
waiting for the 2nd class letter before I can arrange to pay the
charges etc, which adds another week or more.

When Fedex or UPS informs me by email that a package has been delivered to
the nearest Parcel Force depot, I can phone the depot quoting the tracking
reference number and pay any charges by card also get the approximate time
of delivery to me next day. Parcel Force nevertheless sends me their
computer generated 2nd class letter ( on one occasion two!) which arrives
here long after the package has been delivered here.
The last three items which I ordered from the States took on average 3 days
from time of shipment to clear HMG Customs in England, and over a week to
get from England to Scotland!
