I want to make a joke about the spyware not installing itself, but it was hitting too close to home, and besides that's probably too obvious, so instead, I will leave you this anecdote about how packages make it from east to west:

A package from abroad often changes hands through various regional carriers, and is sometimes bumped or combined or divided by many criteria depending on where it is and what it is. I found this out by ordering electronics that also had single items that required special shipping that arrived far far later (the trigger for me, is batteries, which always take more time)




Li-ion batteries are dangerous goods, so kind of makes sense that those can take longer.
