You may still get them man, I got something shipped first class from Canada once and both the seller andi thought it was lost after 6 weeks, at the 7 week mark I asked him to track it down for me, and I came home an hour later and it was waiting for me on my doorstep.
Just ordered a package sent first class from America and it came in 4 days! Postage times are weird in Australia, I had 2 packages shipped once on the same day, 1 from NSW, 1 from Hong Kong. Guess which got to me first.
