I find this rather strange - or is it?
One spesific order took only 4 - FOUR DAYS - to arrive Norway from California, USA (shipped 08/07, received 08/11). That must be World record!
However, two previous orders were shipped out 07/31 (15 days ago), but those packages have not yet arrived.
Now; maybe there is no reason to worry - yet. But I still wonder why delivery time differ that much.
I´d like to hear your experinces on that subject. Is USPS Air Mail reliable when it comes to international service?

I've never had an airmail package lost and I've ordered many over the years. They do seem to take different amounts of time, even when coming from the same place. My assumption is that the massive difference comes from how they get held up in customs, but I could be wrong on the reason. I wouldn't worry yet, I'd give at least 30 days before I would start to be concerned.

We obviously ship a lot of packages internationally and our general experience is that into Europe where your located USPS international priority typically is 4 to 7 days for delivery. Some will go out beyond that to app. 2 weeks but that is rare. Anything beyond that I am afraid to say means that it is probably lost. Occasionally they do turn up as may have been mis-sorted or the like but when things go as they should you should see deliveries within the week.

Hi ukbadboy,
Your experience is inline with our Swedish Post option and not USPS as I quoted. Swedish Post is certainly a lot slower than USPS on both Priority and Surface options. USPS though is pretty good with transit times. We offered the Swedish Post option about 6 months or so back as an alternative primarily for our European customers as they seem to incur less attraction at customs than USPS.
Moderator note - quote snipped. You only need to quote the relevant part of the post, or address the poster by name. Thanks!
