I burst out laughing!
Having had the opportunity to order many calculators all over the world, I have had the opportunity to see that some countries are worse than others!
My records? Mexico: 48 hours, China: 3 days, Spain, Germany: 5 days, Canada, England: 12 days and the worst USA: between fifteen days and... six months!
Thanks to USpostal tracking, I saw a package visit at least ten different states (passing through one already "visited") before leaving for Spain then Switzerland and arriving in France after six months! (a TI : Tourist & Itinerant)
Two calculators that left on the same day, one from New York, the other from California, arrived 2 weeks apart... It was the calculator that left California that arrived first after taking the plane from Chicago to Holland and finally France.

So I end up finding that a month can be quick...
In French: Tout est relatif !

(PS: I have about 250 calculators today... many years of waiting)
...and I have all the DM !

I once returned a laptop to Apple for a recall that required a motherboard swap. After one month not getting my laptop back, I asked for a tracking number from their support, and when I looked at it, I saw that the laptop had been bouncing back and forth between Amsterdam and Paris, once a day, for nearly one month. Apple sent an employee who had to physically jump on the package to get it out of the automated system. And then only succeeded on the third try ;-)

Apparently, it's possible to write stuff on a postal tracking system that causes an infinite loop.
