Ok I have a story from Europe.
A customer in Italy bought a slice of Uruacu via e bay, three weeks later he asked if his slice is already shipped, it was of course. So I have send a second slice to the costumer. 10 days later I got an e mail , that both slices arrived the same day in the post pox of the costumer. One package with a sticker "Royal Post" ,so the package made a small trip to Great Britain, why not? Great Britain is also an interesting place.

Sorry to hear that
I was at Denver on 9/11, and had to ship 5 boxes with stones (up to 20kg
each) back to Argentina.
I was afraid that they will be lost, but fortunately all arrived safe,
even more, they were some of the faster shipments I had. They took about
3 weeks for a surface shipment.
Normally takes 1.5 monthes to a record of 5 monthes to arrive. This
record one arrived 2 monthes after I made a claim, so it seems it was
delayed in some of the post offices and when the claim arrived to that
office the box was found and sent.
