Yes - far too long. Do you know the Governor's office for your State where you can demand an explanation of how and when the goods importation laws
are applied to citizens who await a small innocuous package from a friendly country? (there must be a centre of distibution somewhere operated by the US Mail Service for sorting foreign post ). Is there a declaration to be made by AB upon despatch and is it critical that the right words are used on that to achieve some speed of delivery to the purchaser? (It does seem from the replies you have had here that the impositions of bureaucracy differ from state to state to achieve or not achieve a simple objective).
