#1 scott757pc, May 28, 2005. I sent a friend a package almost 5 weeks ago and they still have not recieved it.It was supporse to take about 2 weeks I was told at the post office,lol.Luckely I insured the package. My friend sent me a package from Japan and it took less than two weeks.ackages in the US can ship two ways one way (the more expensive of the two) will take 7-14 days (I usually ship this way because that's how long it takes. The second options takes about 5-8 weeks and, thought cheaper, in my opinion, is not worth the money you save.
