The only surface mail I've ever used was from here to Australia which can take up to 8 weeks, depending on chance. A book ring of mine is in England and was supposedly mailed to irascignavojo on February 7th. I was just checking to see if it would have arrived by now if it had been mailed when promised. As I remarked to antof9, I was skeptical it was mailed on the date promised to begin with; now I'd guess it was never mailed at all.
Maybe it hasn't ( my guess) or maybe it's lost on its way. I remember of a bookring that was send within the UK from A to B (70 miles) and it took three or four months to arrive.
If the person were more forthcoming - more willing to reply to my PMed concerns - I'd give them the benefit of the doubt. As it stands, I initally asked if there was some trouble with the ring as well as offered help with postage in case they were having financial difficulty. The one reply they finally sent in return ignored all my questions and concerns. Two short sentences was all I received and they were to tell me they were "sorry" and they'd send the journal "tomorrow". Since then, I've sent another PM explaining how much the journal means to me (it's a personalized journal, not a book, and can't be replaced) and, again, offered any help they might need. I expressed, in no uncertain terms, how much the journal means to me and practically begged for an explanation for it being held up with her. I've heard nothing in return.
Under the circumstances, I can only assume this person's actions are borne of laziness, irresponsibility and a disregard for the feelings/property of others.

Some days I'm furious, other days I'm despondent.
