I've had stuff delivered by USPS and it should only take a week or two at the most. There is usually a consignment number so you can track it on their website.

Did they give you a consignment number with the order?

USPS tracks most mailings, their website clearly states that unless of course it was sent eg:
Online Tracking - Put our delivery information to work for you. Track PMI package shipments.
Note: Tracking is not available for Priority Mail International (http://www.usps.com/international/prioritymailinternational.htm) Flat-Rate Envelopes .

Was this how it was sent?

Be patient!
I ordered some stuff from Texas on 14th August. Supplier said that USPS had quoted 6 to 15 working days for delivery. The stuff turned up today.

If you want it fast from the states use UPS but it will cost twice as much. I ordered new forks last Friday from Dan and got them Wednesday

USPS is good, have never had problems, you may find it is slow because of customs here.. i always ask for the USPS service that provides a tracking number, that way at least you know where it is most of the time..not always, but is still a good service..

What's some of the best brews in Australia now? I've always been a Redback fan plus have the odd Coopers Sparkling Ale on occasion :) :beer

Hmmm, the last time I was back in Australia, Carlton Mid-Strength was pretty good on the pallet
