I have to share this torturous trek of a tobacco order. (Order was placed on 7/13, and I still haven't received it)
Massachusetts to New Jersey to Georgia to Tennessee to Mississippi to Maryland to DC so far
Question - does 10 days of 100 degree temperatures adversely affect pipe tobacco?

I had a pipe that was recently sent to me (near Toronto), that went from Kansas to Detroit, then back to Kansas. It was delivered to the sender! So at least be assured that you aren't the only one having a problem.
As for your time I would think they are fine. I would imagine that when they are shipped from the manufacturer they go through a similar shipping maze.

At least it's still on the move. What's worse is when it seems to linger in one USPS distribution center for more than a few days--that's the kiss of death (i.e. they've lost your package).
