I had to wait 6 weeks for a package from the US once. I don't know why it took so long. I think it depends a lot on how pissy customs is. Right now in Canada they are apparently doing a lot more random checks than usual.
Hopefully your ponies will arrive soon.

I've had to wait ages from ponies from Canada too. I think the longest was six weeks for a MOC Posey sent airmail ¬¬ Its ridiculous!

I've had parcels take an extremely long time to come from overseas before, and when they have arrived they've been shipped surface mail by mistake, even though they have a big airmail sticker on the front!  |
Ditto! And what sucks worse is that you paid for the airmail shipping. If you want cheap shipping, then you know you will be waiting forever. But when you pay for speed.......
Speed. Does that worst even exist in the postal system?

I had this happen as a seller. I had shipped to MOC G3 ponies to Brazil from the US. It took nearly 4 months to get to my buyer. Luckily my buyer was willing to work with me and we kept in constant communication. I was about ready to do a partial refund for the ponies when the ponies finally arrived to their destination. All we can figure is that they got caught in some customs loop and took forever.
