Recently I ordered an item from the USA and specified USPS International Express Mail, I'm sure I've used that service in the past for Elecraft bits and kits. One memorable occasion resulted in a delivery four days after placing the order. Sadly, it seems the system has deteriorated as follows (from USPS tracking):

Attempted Delivery Abroad, October 27, 2007, 9:25 am, GREAT BRITAIN
Out of Foreign Customs, October 26, 2007, 5:11 am, GREAT BRITAIN
Into Foreign Customs, October 23, 2007, 5:33 pm, GREAT BRITAIN
Arrived Abroad, October 23, 2007, 5:13 pm, GREAT BRITAIN
International Dispatch, October 18, 2007, 2:18 pm, O'HARE APT/CHICAGO
Processed, October 18, 2007, 11:49 am, CHICAGO, IL 60666
Processed, October 17, 2007, 6:35 pm, DETROIT, MI 48242
Electronic Shipping Info Received, October 17, 2007

I don't know what "attempted delivery abroad" on Saturday 27th means, no attempt to deliver here and nothing so far on Monday by 1720 hours local time. I might have to alter my K3 order to UPS delivery at this rate!
