A bit of a wide question i know but roughly what is the average time a record should take, a week, two weeks, longer?

I only ask as i have a record hopefully on it's way & haven't bought from the States for a long time.

Many thanks in advance

Depends how it's been sent, if by boat then 10-12 weeks, had a 45 sent this way a few months back, god knows why he sent 1 45 this way, but that's the way it came. Should take no more than a week by air, but you know the post office, custom clearance of late with the strike action has caused major back log.

10 to 12 weeks by boat, seriously I'd sack the oarsmen

Okay it may not take that long to actually sail across the Atlantic, but that's roughly how long record took to get to me, when I chased up after 2nd week guy told me he hadn't sent by airmail but boat, may have stopped off somewhere to sun themselves.

Air Mail from the USA shouldn't take more than a week, Simon. Surface mail - you're looking at anything up to 3 months!

My fastest delivery was a 45 posted in NYC on Friday & arriving on Tuesday.

Normally 7-10 days. Of course, some US dealers use the 9/11 argument for any delay that might occur.

it took 5 weeks and 3 days in the end and that was sent signed for...ive waited anything from 1 week to six weeks before now..i think bill bush was sent by irish homing pigeon

I find 10-14 days on average although some take up to 3 weeks.

7 days is ultra quick in my experience.

Surface mail is no more available, US Post Office discontinued it. So parcels are faster, now, but more expensive !!! (I'm talking about LP's, heavy ones).
