43 days seems reasonable to me.
I once had a package of two full-sized and two over-sized [1] Lego sets sent to
me via surface from Italy to the USA. It was during the December holiday

that soon. A package that large I figured would sit at customs forever or
would be held back due to cargo space limitations.
Both the seller and I were quite surprised and pleased with the outcome.
