I'll take that over waiting an extra month for an international package (The item was coming from Mexico.) to be delivered by the USPS. Initially I thought the package was lost from the holiday rush until the seller started an inquiry and then voila the package mysteriously ends up in US customs a day later and two days later I pick it up from the post office because a signature was required.
