  I suspect what they mean is 3-5 days to get it into the hands
  of the overseas mail system.  Beyond that point they have no
  control over delays in foreign customs or deliveries.

  We send letters and printed material overseas as Global
  Priority Mail (7-9 days) and it always gets there on time with
  no customs formalities required.  Perhaps this was a glitch
  with the BPO (or whatever its successor is called now), and not
  with the USPS.
