I'vs also had a couple of rapid transit maybe 5 days from Ireland. You may be right about them not having the infrastructure. Houston is only the 4th largest US city . Anyway, it di make it by Wed 24th which was also my initial estimate but it did get to Houston where it is now 'On Hold' again with a delivery exception. This is the first time it went through Brussels. Usually it heads to East Midlands and then Miami or Chicago. Sometime goes through Heathrow this time LHR, Brussels, Miami and NY to Houston.
Stephen was pretty helpful with the last one that was delay, took about three weeks to come most of which was sitting in Miami because there were not truck drivers, then I got hit with another $45 handling/processing for the privilege. Anyway, I'm just going to wait longer and see when it comes, hopefully on Monday. Clearing out space for the boxes
