If you did not order before (US) Thanksgiving, or better yet a week before (US) Thanksgiving, then you are right cmdline. It will probably be about mid-January before things get back to normal and long delayed shipments start to show up. A few will squeak through in the meantime, but for the most part, you are on your own until the holiday madness ends.
It's not all the mail services fault either. A good number of foreign countries, including our vendors, take long vacations during the holiday season. Not just a few days like us Yanks, but weeks before Christmas and after the New Year.
I wish I could live the same way but, being self employed, everyday off is a loss.
If you are waiting for an important delivery at this point in the year, then I wish you the best. Your going to need it if you have not planned ahead.
Good Luck
