In these days of Amazon Prime, people Stateside just expect their stuff to show up instantly.
Here at the bottom of the world, we’re used to having to wait 4 weeks for our shit to arrive.
During the Covid lockdown, I was waiting for 3 small parcels from Australia - usually a weeks transit - they were all posted around the same time, and they took 4 weeks, 5 weeks and 7 weeks respectively to show up.
Covid stuffed up the postal system worldwide. What ya gonna do? Shit happens.
