メールによると、「品目の詳細が記載されてなかったので、配達遅れる」ということらしい。

ステータスを確認すると、Clearance Delay

日本語だと、「通関の遅れ」と言うらしい。

さっそく連絡したところ、既に内容は確認済みだそうで、遅れは1日で済みそう。

というわけで、さすが「Express」！！！
手元に届くまで一週間かからない！

日曜夜：Blurb.comでフォトブックを発注
火曜夕方：印刷が終わってニューヨークを出発
水曜明け方：メンフィスから成田へ
木曜：成田到着、「通関の遅れ」→この遅れが無ければ木曜夕方に配達完了予定だった
金曜：配達完了予定

配達方法を「Express」にしたせいか、「ちょっといい紙」を選んだせいか、今回はスイスからでは無く、ニューヨークからやってくるらしい。
