[Elecraft] US Postal Service Express Mail to UK - rubbish!

[Dave G4AON]

The package in question isn't from Elecraft. The problem lies with the 
USPS Express Mail International service which states on their web site 
(and I quote):
"Speed 3 - 5 days".

The package has been 12 calendar days, or 8 "Monday to Friday" working 
days so far. There will be tax to pay on the package so I suspect there 
may be a letter on the door mat asking me to phone and pay the tax 
before they will deliver, adding further delay to an already tedious 
process.
