Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - ultra-fast delivery

I'm totally amazed with a blazing speed Apple UK handles all deliveries. While most of US guys who've ordered Snow Leopard by pre-order (i.e. before 27th) have already got their desired box with a white spotty kitty on it, myself – on September, 1st still observing the following picture on "Track my order page"

Seriously, it's not funny anymore. These G3 Worldwide Netherlands guys - how are they handling their deliveries? Yes I know bikes are quite popular for commuting in Netherlands, but I don't think using bike to deliver my Snow Leopard was a good idea at all; otherwise – I honestly can't understand why the hell it takes so long.
