We're less than 3wks away from xmas... that should be your 1st clue that some delays in shipping & retail could be a possibility. 2ndly, it's just the start of winter weather!
I got some goodies from Germany coming, they told me two wks ago they might have it to me before xmas day... I said don't do it! Ship it in January. This time of yr the parcel will get abuse and/or lost temporality or indefinitely!
If you have never been affected by the xmas rush before, then you've been dam lucky.
