Is this a record?

Last week I posted an item to United States on Tuesday afternoon and the lady received it on Friday morning, I was amazed as I usually wait about 2 weeks for things to be delivered from the states.
:p

    Was this via Royal Mail airmail?

    I know if I use UPS/DHL for sending to the US it takes around 3 days at worst, which is good. I had a tennis racquet I bought in the USA arrive with me in 48 hours, and I saved 50% on UK list price too, god damn tennis shops bumping up the prices of imported US sports goods! :(
    Money saving:
    Buy a Skoda. Laugh at the VWs who paid several grand more
    Its a diesel. 50mpg - laugh at all the petrols
    Its a tuned 260bhp diesel - laugh at them in the rearview mirror as they vanish
    See my 260bhp dyno run video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9BvjJjL7Z50

    This was sent via Royal Mail standard airmail (not signed for ) which they estimate themselves at around 5 days for outside Europe delivery times, so to get there within 3 days is pretty good.
