I had an aluminum drum (musical instrument) shipped to me from CairoIt is my understanding that it cleared Egyptian Customs before it leftUSPS tracking service has it listed as being in Inbound Customs now for 3 daysIs this normal? It seems to me that if they were worried about the contents because of the current revolution in Egypt, they could just open the package and see that it's exactly what the shipper declaredAnybody have any ideas how long this might take? Priority Mail -Hah!
Almost all carpets today are tuftedUnless the carpet is patterned with flowers or a multi colored geometric and made in Europe it's tuftedAny solid color carpet made in the USA is tufted and has been since the 1950'sIt can be any style loop berber or cut pile plush or twitThe tuft was invented in the Dalton Georgia in the early 1940's by a lady making bed spreads.
A tufted carpet each individual carpet fiber is folded and weavedA woven carpet has one long string that is poked through the backing creating a loop or burl on the topTypically woven carpets are cheaper if a loop is pulled you can get an entire line of carpeting pulled out.
Now you can see it anywhere
This is not unusualIt can take as long as a week in some instancesMy best guess would be to expect delivery on Thursday or Friday.
