I ordered something from China. Here's the tracking, so far.
December 10, 2014 , 2:54 pm SHENZHEN, CHINA
December 17, 2014 , 12:20 am ISC NEW YORK NY
December 22, 2014 , 6:20 pm FOREST PARK, IL

At this rate it's going to take longer to get from NY to TX than from China to the USA.

It's the holidays. I had a first class letter take a week just yesterday. Was worried it wouldn't make it. If it isn't going Priority, it isn't.....well, a priority.

So, the saying "a slow boat from China..." should be "a slow truck from NY..." in your case any way.

Planes versus truck shipping lanes. Contiguous US shipping lanes jam hard around this time of year (not enough drivers, growing demand, etc.). But international air? Not a problem.

- @The_Baron Nope. I saw Into the Woods last week. That was a big bad wolf.

- @lisaviolet how was into the woods? Did they do they entire play or just the first half we see normally? Kids were in the play 2 years ago and want to see the movie now.

- @mikibell I liked it, my husband, not so much. It's a musical, he's not into (as my mother used to call them) "canary movies". I haven't seen the play, but I found the movie very enjoyable. Meryl Streep has an awesome set of pipes.
