    Default Amazon Shipping

    It seems that the Standard International Shipping for books has speeded up to 12-20 days vs Expedited International Shipping at 9-15 days delivery.

    It would appear that expedited shipping is no longer worthwhile?

    I order books off Amazon.com fairly regularly.

    I always use standard international. Usually arrives in around 10 business days I find with little problem. Expedited is not worth it for books, IMHO.

    Standard international or surface is usually quite fast but sometimes is very slow (the 'up to 12 weeks' caveat very occasionally checks in true) - I order more books than is wholesome, so I get to see it is more like a statistical distribution with a peak at about 2-3 weeks from order to delivery. Sometimes the seller airmails anyway - usually on lightweight items - even when you specify standard post and pay no extra.
