For those that order from the US
how long does it usually take for a USPS priority flat rate box to turn up?
What is the longest it has taken for you?
I had an order sent on tuesday 24 August, and am still awaiting its arrival. Based on previous experience, i was expecting it to arrive on thursday or friday of last week.
Have i been spoiled in the past, or should i start to worry about where it has gone?

The fastest I ever got a package was between 7 - 10 days. The longest a few weeks.

Have you tried to email Ed they were having some issues that probably delayed the order. Shoot him an email and they will look into it.

That's okay though, I'm a patient fella. I guess i've been lucky in the past.
It's an order from Exotics, so it's worth waiting for

Is it trackable ? I thought the flat rate boxes were. If you've got the tracking number you can see for yourself on usps.com

Unfortunately no tracking number. Last order was a medium flat rate box, which i guess includes tracking in the cost, and i was able to track that right to my door.
This time it is a small flat rate box. Not sure if that makes a difference though. I asked about tracking after it was sent, but apparently it is pretty expensive on a small box and is generally avoided.

Not the regular tracking, no. BUT .. the US Customs form that they must fill out should Originally Posted by Big Shed

but you should be able to at least find out if it has made it in country or not.. or if it is
at the Customs agent's office or something like that.
