The last time I had something send to my by USPS (a casing for my Sony) it took 1,5 to 2 week iirc.

I'm obsessively checking the status page several times a day (USPS is also known for their slow updates) and try to be patient.
Oh. Really. And there I thought that Customs in my country is difficult!

"USPS is known for slow updates" <----- What? They even update the tracking?
During the 1.5 week that I waited for my Oberon cover, the tracking number they gave me was for nothing!
