Miracles do happen

A few days ago I received a item from the US. The seller provided tracking and to my amazement my purchase was actually tracked (usually all I get is the tracking number and not much appears to happen after that). But that wasn't the miracle. What I didn't expect was my purchase arrived in only 7 days! I've had that from the UK...but from the US I think it's a first. 😉

Postage from the US is a lottery for me. I've had items that were sent First Class International (el cheapo service) that have arrived in 5 or 6 business days and I've had an international priority parcel take 7 weeks! I've found that the smaller the item, the quicker they get here. If they can go as a letter they usually get here pretty fast but parcels are the luck of the draw, could be a week or it could be 3 months :S

I bought from Hong Kong & it arrived within 7 days! Never heard of that before!

I sold to Belgium & it arrived within 10 days!

Is the world ending?
