In Britain? I would have thought it should have been quicker there.
I so take our German next-day delivery for granted, because it has always been like this since I started buying books. I would even get most English titles the next day; only when I was looking for one that none of the wholesalers the retailer ordered from had in stock it would last two weeks or longer. But that only ever happened with very unpopular books (and never with German ones.)
