................takes about 5 to 6 days max
Your a lucky boy!!
Even with the fastest/expensive postage options, it usually takes over a week.
All the other options are variable. 2 weeks to months.
I have some magazines coming from Canada by snail mail. They only left Canada 3 weeks after they were picked up. I think they are coming across the atlantic in canoe!!!
If its important and hard to get hold of, then pay the extra and track and insure it!! Even the snail mail options from N. America seem expensive these days!!
So a few extra quid for peace of mind is worth it!!
