<p>[QUOTE="John Anthony, post: 1681712, member: 42773"]That jibes with my experience. I asked one Israeli dealer why it took so long, and he told me it wasn't the post - if he just sends a letter to the US, it takes a week. But dealers have to get export approval for any antiquities that ship out of the country, which is what takes so long. The Middle East was looted of its antiquities for so many centuries, that most of the governments have very tight controls in place now.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
