How long does it normally take a small package to travel from Hong Kong to Pittsburgh, PA via HKPost & USPS?

I ordered a package Deal Extreme (an electronics store) and say he went to Hong Kong on 9/4/09, but gave no details about how long it will take to get to Pittsburgh. And “recommends that travel through the USPS when you get here, for, apparently.

    no way to tell. i ordered a cell phone cover from china and it got to utah in 4 days. i couldn’t believe it. but another package took about 3 weeks. i would think that would be more like the norm. it’s only been a week, so give another week at least, then maybe email them and ask if they have a tracking number of some kind. just to let them know you haven’t forgotten about them. hope you paid with a credit card so maybe you can get your money back if things go wrong. good luck.

    transit time isn’t the only variable. it will also have to clear customs. if the company has a bad reputation for shipping contraband items, it will sit at customs until physically inspected.

    i have a customer that orders and pays for next day FedEx. his packages normally takes a week or more to arrive because Australian customs is very big on 100% physical inspection, no matter how backlogged they may get.

    It is quite fast in recent times. Should arrive in about one week.
