Delivery Time from Usa - processed through Jamaica, NY

Delivery from the Us generally takes around 2 weeks but I am running very low on a certain item so I'm getting a bit tetchy.

My tracking info shows that it was processed on 18th Oct through Jamacia, NY sorting office - how long before it should arrive - 12 days seems to be quite a long time since it's Airmail??

Thank you :-)

    Well hopefully it'll arrive some time soon - it was actually ordered on the 10th so it's been 20 days which I know isn't that long - I do try and not be a typical nightmare eBay customer and chase until atleast a month for overseas items but I was just concerned that it cleared NY 12 days ago.

    Is it possible that it is held at customs waiting for you to pay a fee? Are you following the tracking on RM or USPS? Might be worth trying both to see if one is updated more recently.

    No, there shouldn't be any fees - only paid £13.50 inc delivery (I have ordered a few of them on different days after each had been dispatched as their postage discount is appauling and wouldn't be anywhere near worthwhile buying with the charges on top)

    I've checked Usps and that hasn't updated since NY and checked RM but it doesn't recognise the number - if fact I tried all of my American tracking no's and not one of them worked??

    Ohhh well - it'll add a little excitement to my mornings whilst I wait for the postie to arrive and then I'll be gutted once he's been and they haven't come ;)

    It should be 7-10 days by airmail.

    Sure it hasn't gone by surface mail?

    Also do you live anywhere thats famous elsewhere in the world...like if you lived in Christchurch, Dorset....probably get a few reroutes?

    It arrived yesterday as did another 5 orders that I'd placed with various people that were all showing as going through from the 20th to 26th so hopefully it'll be with you soon!
