There is more than USPS to delay this.Sounds good. That would still give Ed's postman some more time. :/
There's the outgoing postal service to start.
Then with the current concerns about terrorism, it is possible that US security is giving parcels from certain countries a rather slower passage than others. And when/if they release it without blowing it up, then the US tax authorities will probably have a rather large pile of parcels to deal with too
