Hopefully I don't have to pay a bribe.

You shouldn't pay a bribe but you may have to pay GST.

Shipping times from the US have always been variable especially with UPS.

I was importing projectiles. Each carton could spend upto a month waiting to get onto a plane.
If I was lucky the plane headed in this direction.
Once had a parcel that went on a european adventure. Supplier replaced it. 6 months later it landed back at the supplier.
Best was 3 weeks door to door including a couple of days with NZ Customs.

Tongue in Cheek comment.
I have been stung in the past.
