I bought Wendy's *ist DS for my wife. It took a full 25 days to reach me. This was using CandaPost expedited mail (whatever that means)... and we are on the same continent.
We both thought it was lost or stolen and Wendy sent me a refund check which arrived several days after the camera did, and which I subsequently tore to smithereens. I've also had equipment shipped from a private seller in New York take two weeks to reach me when it was guaranteed for 3 days. I agree $500. That was the amount he wished to insure it for.
