How long have US Airmail packages been taking lately?

Ordered TR Wave 3 from BBTS and it shipped, cheapest method (USPS Air Mail), on Nov 30.

I know it's Xmas season and both postal systems and customs must be slammed, but it will have been a month in 3 days.

Anyone else seeing similar delays from such packages? Too early to worry?

that seems pretty long even for usps first class. Minus a week for holidays, minus a week for customs delay which still leaves plenty of time

I ordered brainstorm from bbts by the same shipping method. Said it shipped on Nov 28 and I still haven't seen it either. So your not the only one.

The post is definitely running very slow, I also had a BBTS order run long, about 6 weeks IIRC so hopefully you will get it soon.

Yeah, been waiting on a BBTS order since Dec1.

this is why I avoid ordering from USA during holiday seasons.

Thanks all. I'm ok with the longer wait, it was just that worry of it being lost. Sounds like mine is still within expectations for December orders.

I have been waiting on a package from them too it was shipped on Dec 4th. I think customs is waiting to hit us with duty.

Funny coincidence that this thread started recently.... I made an order with BBTS back on Black Friday, Nov.25th. The order was shipped on Nov.30th and it just arrived yesterday, almost exactly 4 weeks later, short of a day.

It could be a mix of holiday jam up from US Thanksgiving and our own Christmas season perhaps? I'm just glad it finally arrived...customs ding of course, but I knew that would happen before I ordered.

I order alot from BBTS and it usually takes about 3 weeks or a bit less. My last order took over 5 weeks from "shipped" (Nov. 21) to actual delivery. I assumed it was tied up in customs but I didn't get hit for the customs charge, so I'm not sure what's going on.
