in Phoenix within 2-3 days of the Swiss postmark. ...
you are very lucky: from Switzerland (or Germany or UK) to Sicily at least we can wait 3-4 days or also 5...

However, today I'm glad to make compliments to the Swiss and Italian Post service!
Here #00881 is here!
Thanks Michael and the DM staff.

Congratulations! Enjoy your new toy! And praise postal services working reliably even without tracking number and other superfluous rubbish (BTW, Thurn & Taxis didn't need any tracking numbers either for centuries).

thank you Walter!
And yes, I'm praising no rubbish and fiscal postage will be delivered here, with and without tracking number
About postal service delays: yesterday I received a little parcel from America, after ...32 days. It left USA on Jan 12 (since 4 to 12 it passed some US States), and then I don't know what obscure roads it made to come here. Incredible.

Isn't it like Xmas again when something you almost completely forgot about is suddenly delivered to you?

I ordered a DM42 on 2/2 and suppose it likely shipped on 2/5. There was a note somewhere saying that they planned to ship on 2/5, but I can't find it now.
In the past, my orders have arrived very quickly -- in Phoenix within 2-3 days of the Swiss postmark. Never got a shipping notification or tracking email from SwissMicros, though. I personally don't care because it's too much work to micromanage incoming packages.
I’m one time zone West of you.
I ordered on Feb 1, haven’t seen it yet, but am hoping for a delivery next week.

Snail mail from the US of A abroad seems a bit slower and
very complicated.

I find the U.S. Postal Service quite reliable and fast in general, but on one occasion, it somehow took six weeks for a parcel to reach me from the Netherlands, most of that time apparently waiting for someone at customs to decide to let it through.
Since this parcel did, in fact, contain a Christmas present, I didn't try to find out what happened, I was just happy I received it after all.

I visited my proctologist recently. I, however, was
not happy to receive it in the end.
