I'm not sure what's worse right now.. Foreign post, USPS or US customs

We all know or have noticed that the usps is falling apart and getting worse and slower daily, but Foreign post still worse (on package from india over 2 weeks "in transit" now, another from israel at 10 days) This is not time since shipping, this is "in transit" between just 2 locations. Another package has been sitting in customs for over 3 weeks because they sent me the wrong form to fill out the 1st time and had to "redo" it... It's just totaly frustrating to pay for 4 day shipping ($50) and have it held up that long in customs.

Ok sorry done ranting...

Knock on wood but two pkgs from Portugal <10 days, 1 pkg to Spain <10 days my card to NZ still in limbo....
But weasel coming from Isreal most go through customs at Kennedy airport. Pre pandemic again <10 days.
India I can see being an issue...
But dealing with customs can be fun.... from a jewler in Georgetown Cayman islands I purchased a pair of Tanzanite ear rings.... the company had gift wraped the box with the ear rings...customs ripped it open ear rings loose wraping paper ribbon all tossed in the pkg.
But sometimes its the other country's postal system.
I sold a .25 1988 $5 gold to a swiss buyer ...wanta guess how long it took? 2.5 months!
