It took about two weeks to get from Tony's to my house in "Sunny" California. Of course the major reason my order took so long was that UPS couldn't deliver for most of one of those weeks because of the four and a half feet of snow we received at that time. It would have only taken about a week (plus or minus 1 or 2 days) otherwise. Don't be too discouraged. I don't think two weeks is really out of the question at all, unless you paid extra for express shipping.

Thanks guys I'm just impatient.[:o)]

Tony's don't have a tracking number.
I also got some hoppers from discount trains and they took about 5 days so I thought everything would take about that long.

I shipped some train stuff to India via postal service at the cheapest rate. It took three months. That's because it was moved on a boat. Air should be a couple of weeks. Do you have a tracking number? Here is the web address for USPS http://www.usps.com/

Two weeks to New Zealand? Half way around the world? Jeese, it takes me a little over two weeks to get a parcel from Trainworld in New York, about 5-700 miles from here! Of course most of this time is consumed by Canada Customs, so we get used to it!

I shipped some maps from Ala in the States to New Zealand and to the best of my knowlage it took over two weeks so if your order has been shipped over two weeks you should be getting it any day.

I've got some BLI loco's on the way from Tony's, US airmail, how long does it take in the USA? I've been waiting nearly two weeks since they were shipped.
