My package was a pre metered Fedex envelope with $192 of spinel gemstones,
Fedex intl priority, and it was claimed to me here in 2 to 3 days. Looks
like it skipped through customs without a squeak. It had a ziplock bag on
the front though with all the docs etc. I don't see how from the distance
etc. they could hope to beat the 36 hour transit time I had though.
