Interesting. I ordered a couple of things from Avatar (probably the same
ones you did, Steve - those RCA reissues?), and hadn't received them
after six weeks. I wrote them a note, and received an apology (and I
promise that they'd send out replacements) and the following statement:

"Since November 2010, the United States Department of Homeland Security
has increased security measures for items carried on passenger airlines.
As a result, mail entering the US from around the world, and including
the UK, that would normally be sent via passenger aircraft must now
travel by other means, including ships and cargo planes.

"Most items, including personal letters and cards, will arrive in the
US within a few days of posting. However, these ongoing security
issues are continuing to cause delays to some items bound for the US.
The delays mainly affect heavier items, but also affect other items
including Destination Sort bags posted under contract by business
customers. We?re really sorry for these unavoidable delays and are
doing everything we can to keep mail moving out of and into the UK.

"We have implemented a number of contingency plans to ensure as much
of our customers? mail reaches the US as quickly as possible.
We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause and are continuing
to work to minimise disruption to our customers, whilst ensuring we
comply fully with the US directives and regulations."

Dang it! This time those mofos have GONE TOO FAR!!!
