Fred, the same happens over the Christmas period with Australia to USA & vice versa. Standard international is 10 days. Add in Christmas and holiday period and add anywhere from 2 to 20 days to times.

Then add a bomb scare at a US airport somewhere as recently happened around Nov last year and add another 2-4 weeks!! I had a priority mail box take just over 2 months from the US to me (normally 7-8 days) I then had a 3 chip mailer take a little over 6 weeks to get to the US when I mailed in mid Nov.

I reckon it's just that particular time of year. Normally during the year no parcel is more than a day or two over the 10 day mark and most times under it.

So....over the Christmas and holiday period...patience chippers...your international friends have definately mailed your chips and they will eventually get there!

Cheers, Tim.
