Royal Mail UK -> US Shipping Times?

This is my first international order.

How long does Royal Mail take? On their website they say it reaches most places in 5-7 days (even for international). I've been waiting for almost 12 days, just wondering if anyone has had experience with this, and how long it took?

Royal mail likes to focus on their domestic deliveries most than sending stuff abroad.

I've gotten UK -> US in 8 days, and I've gotten it in 20. It's kind of a crap shoot given the time of year

about 12-24 days, though upwards of 25 days isn't unheard of, once it leaves UK it's out of Royal mails hands.

5-7 days means 5-7 business days (Monday through Friday) so that's 7-9 days including weekends. Most people state that it usually takes between 5-10 business days which means 7-14 days including weekends. You're still in that time frame so just relax. I order things from Etsy or amazon all the time from shops in England or mainland Europe and they take that long.
