About to blow my lid - 4 weeks to USA...wtf?
My friend from the UK (Oxford) sent me a tshirt via airmail on 15th of Feb. I am in Atlanta, GA and almost a month later I am still waiting.....WTF. Royal Mail says 5 days which I believe given that I have received numerous packages before in this time frame. So what the **** is going on?
Every day I run out to my mailbox and low and behold....nothing. I'll be flying to the UK this Friday, not even sure why I had my bud send me the package, would have been quicker for me to just wait and pick it up myself.

It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.

Update 7th March 2011:Royal Mail Customer Services
Further to the recent increased security measures for items carried on passenger airlines to the USA, Royal Mail has continued to work with relevant airlines and deploy a range of contingency measures and routes to get as much mail to the States as quickly as possible.
We are pleased to confirm that the vast majority of items have now reverted back to being flown to the USA, with only a small amount of mail having to be diverted to alternative routes, including sea containers.
As a result, most items, including personal and business letters and packets, should be delivered in the US within a few days of posting. However, delays of about two weeks may continue for heavier packets sent by social (non-contract) customers that are still unable to fly due to security restrictions. We are continuing to explore alternative solutions for these items, to return them to air transit as soon as possible
Royal Mail is very sorry for the recent unavoidable delays; we are continuing to work to minimise disruption to our customers, whilst ensuring we comply fully with the US directives and regulations.

Oh no, sorry, I fully expect that it's the pathologically incapable knobs at USPS who are at fault here. I was hoping maybe you guys would know how long on average these delays are and how long it's taking to get packages to the US. (I know the RM site says 2 week delays but that's clearly an understatement)
