How's this supposed to work?

As far as I can determine it's by far the slowest way to buy products. Bought a gadget from USA. It's taken ten days to get to their USA Depot. I think they skipped the truck and walked it there....

Am I just unlucky or has someone chosen a slow option?

God knows when it will get to me.

It gets sent to a depot where it gets put on a pallet, then the pallet gets sent into a container and only once the container is full then that goes in the direction of a ship.

Minimum cost but oh so slow. I've also heard reports that you'll have to pay the incoming VAT and customs handling fee but won't get a VAT invoice.
The price was supposed to include import tax. I'll be less than impressed if it does not.
