What's the longest time you've had to wait for a razor to arrive at your front door?

The auction ended last Sunday night on my NOS Hess 44, so that means I've been waiting.. let's see... at least a month now.
It's been two weeks since my razor was sent and the wait is just killing me!! I don't think I can actually use USPS again hehe! I'll ask for Fedex or UPS next time. Even if it's a bit more pricey, at least I'll have it here sooner next time.
The weirdest thing is that I have three different things that were send by three different people around the same time. I would have thought that at least one of them would have made it at this point.
2 weeks for anything from the states. I've got another package enroute. Should arrive next monday or tuesday. We'll see if the trend continues.
I generally stop waiting after about three months.
I've shipped a bunch of stuff to Canada over the last couple years, and have always been amazed at how long it takes to get up there! And what is with UPS trying to rook people out of additional Customs cash?? I learned the hard way to not ship anything to Canada by UPS. The guy that I shipped the stuff to said that Canada was suing UPS for fraudulent additional customs charges.
The last few times I shipped stuff to Canada I used USPS. Two weeks is the longest anything has taking with USPS.
Hope you get your stuff soon, man, the wait just sucks.
22 days shipping a razor up to Canada was the longest yet, I should have just driven 30 miles Nth and mailed it from in Canada..:hmmm:
I've purchased more than a few items form the US in the past couple of months. They were shipped via USPS and all arrived in very good time, some a short as a week, the longest wait was about two weeks.
When I bought my Moss Scuttle from Nova Scotia, I thought great...Canada Post...it's going to take forever. To my amazement it arrived in a few days!
Maybe I have just been lucky...so far!
:gl:
I've been waiting since the 4th for a razor from Poland, so that's 2 weeks. Received an email a couple of days ago to let me know he'd just sent it. :gaah: I desperate for it now!
The worst is probably the Robert Williams custom i ordered 5 weeks ago & can expect around May! It takes as long as it takes, but that doesn't help to calm my excitement!:D
Still, maybe the £ will strengthen sometime before then.
Mine was sent on the 5th from Lousiana. I live in New Brunswick. Usually when I order stuff from Canada it takes a little less than a week. It probably didn't help that last Tuesday was a holiday too.
I might try to get something from Canada next time so I dont have to go through the whole customs hassle.
Three weeks I think.
Patience!

Provided nothing holds them up at customs, you should have in 10 to 15 business days (I have received items from the US in as little as 5 days and as long as 25). :gl:
A very long time for this beauty to make it from Australia to Germany: FS/FT: Absolutely beautiful 11/16 Crown & Sword (ERN) - Silver Steel, Goldwash, Round point, adjustable pins, Claro Walnut burl - Straight Razor Place Classifieds
Yes, Bavarian customs were involved. No love for Bavarian customs. Ever.
It's now been five long weeks since the razors and strop were sent...At this point I've already given up...:cry:
Don't give up. I received a package no less than two months after it was sent from EuropeQuote:
