Hi xoronixo, and thank you for your post about this. Shipping to the US normally takes about 7 working days but over the last month, the situation has been horrendous. In the US now, customs are having to scan all parcels arriving from the UK (and europe i think). So some parcels are taking over a month to arrive. The situation is outside our control and this was really a knee-jerk reaction after a bomb was discovered inside a printer cartridge on a flight within the UK that was bound for the US.
eBay are also very concerned about this and issued sellers with the following message;

All parcels are eventually turning up but obviously despite or secure and strong packaging, some boxes are getting damaged. We have updated information on the website to explain the shipping problems and hopefully it will improve soon once the panic is over.
Best wishes
Lucy
