Is it possible you ordered from Amazon? I remember ordering something from Amazon, and it said the ETA was a month. Emailed amazon and they claimed it was a bug, and sure enough, my stuff came when it should have. Perhaps it's just an error?

Fedex Smartpost is a specialized service. Yes it could take 14 days as it has to be routed through Smartpost Hubs only. Then passed on to USPS as Parcel Post w/DC

This is ultra cheap budget shipping unfortunately :(

Honestly, WTF is up with SmartPost? Woot used it to ship my BOC (which I ordered on 7/12 and still haven't received). My package was stuck at one "sortation center" for 36 hours, and now, in spite of the fact that it arrived at a local sortation center on Saturday, their website says I won't receive my package until Wednesday. This is the worst!

Atleast you will not have to go through the break-in period when they arrive at your place :D . You should be thankful about that....hopefully, there will be no sweat smell from all that walking in your brand new shoes :p ;)

Naw, it's like the old Pony Express...every few miles there's a transfer station, and they pass them off to the next runner before the first guy really breaks a sweat.

Come to think of it, didn't the Pony Express deliver mail in just over a week, if everything went well?
