I've found that materials sent to (and received from) international
points will vary greatly in time required to travel.  I often send
materials to Romania, Brazil and on occasion to western European
destinations.  In most cases, mail takes about a week or so.  The best
timing was from Holland when an MMD friend mailed the "Kistdraaiorgel"
books - it took a few days as I recall.

I'm sorry -- I missed the beginning of this thread so I really don't
know what prompted the subject.  I hope these comments were helpful
and I would be glad to continue the discussion via email.
