Last month on ebay I ordered a 300mm Nikkor-W from Japan on a Sunday night. The lens was picked-up by the local PO near Osaka and was shipped on Tuesday from Osaka International. It arrived in SF Customs where it spent about 2 hours and was picked-up by the PO which delivered it to me that Friday.
This month I ordered a Toyo long bellows for my 4x5 Robos on a Sunday which was picked up by the local PO near Tokyo and shipped from Tokyo International arriving in LA Customs on Tuesday where it is still sitting according to Japan Post tracking. What's the deal with LA customs that packages sit for days before being released? At SF Customs it's just a couple of hours before being picked-up by the PO but in LA it's several days.
