International post is slow, period, unless you are prepared to pay FedEx
prices. I recently ordered two Finger Dimples, one for my K2 and one for the
Griffin PowerMate remote tuning knob for the K3, and they took 4 weeks to
arrive. It is definitely worse than 10 years ago when a part for my K2 took
just 4 days to get here.

I don't know what the answer is short of a European distributor that also
carries spares and handles servicing.
