Jeannine, just recently I was waiting for some seed from the UK, after 2 months had passed both the sender and I thought it had got lost in the mail so he sent another, the first package arrived finally, it took 2 months plus a week, the second package a week later, only took maybe 7 or 8 days. I think sometimes when they empty a bag of mail some things must get stuck in the bottom and there they stay until the bag is given a really good shake. Envelopes I send to the states usually take around 10 days to two weeks, a couple of times it only took a week but once it did take a month.
I can remember when I was a kid, before all the automation, we had mail hand delivered to the house twice a day. In the war years parcels to the UK went by boat and if I remember correctly took about 6 weeks. Oh for the good old days.
