It looked like the notice it was shipped came from Canada Post rather than Kobo itself. Within 12 hours of the notice that it was received by Canada Post it was in a US postal facility where it seemed to stall again.
For me, it wasn't shipping time that was the problem at all. I think it sat in customs for a day at most. Thursday night it left Toronto, arrived in Chicago on Friday morning, (probably sat in Customs for most of Friday), left Chicago on Friday night or Saturday, and I had it in S. Illinois at 3 pm on Monday. I'd call that FAST!!! I mean, seriously, it was at my small town post office first thing Monday morning so they could put it out for delivery same day. Really fast!!! Especially since it was post offices.
