Not that long ago anything form the US would arrive here in 10 days or less.
But lately it's been taking up to 5 weeks.

Usually larger packages posted through a regular post office with tracking.

On an Australian metal working forum some members are complaining of even longer delays.
.... Stating that extra security measures are in place because of the events of 9/11 and the 10 year anniversary.

I'm not really bothered by it. Just curious as to why.
