I burst out laughing!

Keep the USPS out of the equation.. (They don't work anyway).
A certain company in Switzerland spends 12 days before they even bother to pack and send your order. Whereafter, they use the slowest and most expensive postal service in Europe, without tracking, to send said order.

A few comparisons:
240gr order from Spain to Latvia (within EU) - 4 days, €14 shipping with tracking
360gr order from UK to Latvia (outside EU) - 3 days incl customs clearance, £11 shipping with tracking.
27KG order (3D-printer) from Germany to Latvia (within EU) - 5 days, €20 shipping with tracking.
1,7KG order from China (outside EU) - 7 days incl customs clearance, €12 shipping with tracking.

I just sent a pretty expensive fountain pen to The Netherlands (for service) from Latvia - €5 shipping with tracking. It arrived after 4 days.

A certain company from Switzerland:
260gr order from Switzerland to Latvia (outside EU but within EEC) - 12 days packing, 17 days shipping, 16 hrs customs clearance, no tracking, €22 shipping.

So no - "working like a Swiss clockwork" does not apply here!
