I sent some items via surface post to Singapore last year; in
fact, they were the first releases of 2000, sent to a buyer
who really wanted to be way before everyone else in getting
the sets. It cost an arm and a leg and it took over three
months to arrive! He did contact me a few times asking if I'd
heard anything, and I was getting worried that something bad
had happened or I was being suckered, but they did end up
showing up at long last.
The trouble is that people don't want to pay for speed, but
they feel like economy ought to still be zippy. It's not.
My current "record" for shipping interval is six months, but
I do know somone (a friend who handles vintage teddy bears)
who had something lost in the post for almost 18 months.
May it show up long before that!
If your buyer is not understanding and tries to leave negative
feedback, you can probably explain it to eBay and have it
undone, especially if your buyer subsequently receives the
items! It's out of your hands, so what is their ultimatum
possibly going to do to speed it up, unless you're being
dishonest? The buyer is, to my mind, assuming something
about Naji that is frankly wrong and unwarranted (from my
own personal experience of dealing with him).
Anyways, that's my two cents. Hope it helps!
best
