I'm friends with the mother of a Marine who is currently in Japan. I think she said it took something like 6 weeks for a package to get there...so you better start crackin' and send that thing. :) At least if it gets there early, you can tell him NOT to open it unti Valentine's. Hahaha.
And we know they don't like the bears...it's just cute and we like them, so there! lol..
I dont know how she is sending those packages to Japan. When we lived in Japan it took us one week on average to receive packages, two weeks max during the holidays as long as they were sent priority. Tell her to send priority if she isn't doing so already, that can make a huge difference.
