It can take an easy three weeks. Plus, the USA tracking system often stops when the package leaves the country.
A private courier is often the best solution.

Carriage cost for mine was $22.50 and package arrived in about 5 working days so I think you should be worried unless it was ordinary post.
Good luck! Bill
Vincent spares sent me a part promptly by fastest means at the start of the last us rally three weeks later it still hadn't arrived I went back to uk a month later the kind organiser received it and sent it back UK customs charged me £16 to retrieve it Vincent spares took it back.
My gaskets arrived today. The bloody customs added a VAT charge though plus a handling fee from Royal Mail. Extra £19.59!
Before I get on to the complaints department can any other recipient of gaskets from the USA say whether they have had the same problem?
I have bought seals from Australia with no extra charge added. Similar value as well.

When I bought parts from Terry Prince, he described them as antique bike parts on the customs label. There were no customs or v a t to pay. Maybe there is a lesson here.
Another nifty wheeze is happening in the land of OZ. Any motorcycles or parts that contain asbestos are likely to be impounded and/or stripped of the offending material, at eye-watering cost.
