Hi Mike
After reading your piece, I'm felt with the impression that you have not
purchased a great need abroad in the past five or six years. Shipping to
North America is slow even before COVID 19, the usual wait time for an
item is three weeks whether it is an engine part or a tool. The number
of layers of inspection outgoing and incoming can vary from two to six
depending upon the mail service, the transport service and customs. Open
your favourite scotch, add several ice cubes to the glass, put your feet
up and relax.
Cheers
Ed

Mike, this is pretty much normal for international freight
