................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!! :daumenhoch:
