Wow extremely fast shipping from Japan.

I made a purchase for a small lens accessory that was in Japan...Made purchase, paid for item on 3-1-2012...today 3-6-2012..the post lady handed it to me...the purchase was done at night so the box did not ship that day....I am not sure what the time difference is and that really does not matter....I just could not believe that it arrived in less than a week.. WOW ...
