Yeah, I know it sounds weird, but "1st class" actually means the cheap regular mail service.
1st class usually takes anything from 1 to 2 weeks, sometimes as much as a month if you are unlucky, to get to you from the US.

This "standard" of which you speak sounds more like "priority mail", which alot of US sellers do use as their main way of mailing things.
Priority mail normally takes less then a week.
Yeah + 1 to that if you're referring to the US method of shipping which we assume...

As funny as it sounds first class is the cheapest and not so reliable method which sometimes could take up to 3 weeks.

Standard Priority Mail is normally about a week or so. Then there's the super expensive Express Mail Intertional which is guranteed in 3 business days or something.
