Hopefully the ponies are wearing life jackets if they're delivering to France.

We have never had so many packages delayed, lost, returned... etc has we have had this past year. International shipping is even worse. And they keep increasing the rates!!

Yeah well... This looks normal for these shipments. In 15+ years of ordering from Anthony I haven't seen otherwise. Unfortunately. The last: November 27, 2021 12:23 IN TRANSIT TO USPS TRACKING #: LX686275315US means it is somewere between the USA and Europe. Probably one or two weeks before arriving at your place.

So it's faster to cross the Ocean than from Vermont to New-York-City ! Normal, there are no islands where planes could make intermediate stops ...

This would be a Great Circle route, plenty of places to land: Newfoundland, Iceland, Greenland, Ireland.

Fortunately the package is in France so now it can sit in customs while someone translates "z scale" to French.

But I have you beat: 10 working days for a small package to go 86 miles.

and yet I have numerous instances (10+) even recently of first class boxes going from Southern California to Florida in 2 days. That's FIRST CLASS. You might call this "United States Postal Schnell" (fast in German)
