whats a reasonable amount of time to wait for parts from the US ?   

[GavinDavis]

2-3 weeks should be about the max i'd say

Blimey Sam, Parcel Farce have had my package from Moonster since the 3rd of Feb! I don't know why I bothered with expedited shipping!

If its priority international you still get a tracking even though its the cheaper service so you can check it.
If not you could even end up waiting extra just for your local delivery office to get their backsides into gear.
Mine are pretty rubbish sadly , when I start sweating I go see them. On a few occasions they have had the item in but have been understaffed and done a packet run once a week 
If there is to be a charge though, I had some forks stuck in customs last month for ten days alone.

If they get held up by UK customs its anyones guess and don't think little parts wont get stopped. I bought some metal Sugino dust caps and had to pay for them to be released, no import VAT but a handling charge which was almost as much as the dust caps 

11 days to get here, 15 days in customs...

All depends on how you asked the seller to ship it and who he/she uses. Normally, USPS priority is the best service. You can ask the seller to mark it as a $40 total package cost and you will get it within 7 - 15 days excluding weekends. If it has not arrived by then, it will be held up in customs so expect a slip through your door to pay charges. Flat rate delivery charge from Parcel Farce is £8.00 plus whatever they feel like charging for the package.

Oh, double check too as sometimes Parcel Farce will send the slip to the wrong address. You wait ages and ages and then hear the parcel has been returned to the sender. It happened to me once and when I contacted Parcel Farce, they had sent the customs slip to a completely different address in the top half of the country even though my address was clearly visible on the parcel  

If it was me Sam, I would wait another week and then contact Parcel farce mate
