Also, even shipping from the same store mine always seem to go take a different route from the shop to whatever airport they decide to use, so don't get to worried about your parcel, it'll come :)
I've recently had some shocking holdups in customs, with most of my parcels taking over a month to arrive - maybe something similar is happening there?

Unfortunately, it does not work that way in the US military. Our packages do not go through Japanese customs because the Military bases outside the US are considered part of the continental US for mailing and shipping purposes. We don’t pay any customs duties or fees. That’s the main advantage of military mail system. The US Navy has itsr own postal clerks that do the job of regular post office employees. Our packages and mail are shipped to the San Francisco Post Office for distribution to the different bases/commands in the Pacific region. For mainland Japan, the mails and packages leaves San Francisco via air to the Yokohama Mail distribution Depot for further distribution to the different bases.
To add insult to injury, I just received a package containing revo parts I bought from an ebay seller located in Winsted, CT. It was shipped USPS Priority on Aug 18, 2008.
Here are some pics:
That’s about 9-10 days and CT is farther from San Francisco than Kansas
