It arrived today from Amazon, with some post marks on the box to suggest it
came from Hong Kong.

Matt, was that surface mail? How many weeks (days?) did it take to
reach you?

I don't think anybody really understands how Amazon works. They have
these so-called stores in Japan, Britain, France, Germany, and Canada,
but we suspect that they are really broom closets in Washington State,
with maybe a small warehouse in the host country. Of them all,
Amazon.co.uk seems to be the closest to an actual operation. And
Canada, it's generally agreed, doesn't exist at all, but is just a
business model to handle Canadian dollars and Canadian postage.
