Ask not when your package shall arrive, for the eldritch machinations of the USPS are beyond the comprehension of us mere, non-unionized mortals.

I have a friend in the USPS, been working there for six years now...and he still can't believe how disorganized they actually are. Nothing but horror stories, I'll tell you what.

Of course it's still Bushs fault lol. Dealing with the USPS varies greatly. The ones I have around here am to work rather well, while others..... well Ahnkmorpork has a better mail service.
To answer the question though, it shouldn't take more than 2weeks no matter the excuse.

Usually a package West Coast to East Coast is around 4-5 days.
Sometimes as fast as 3, sometimes as slow as 10.

There could be a chance the adress was put on the package wrong, happened to me through here when the person messed up the area code. It left the sort facility then ended up back in the sort facility, then took an extra week to get here.
