I'm in the industry and "bearings" are kind of a delicate item as far as US Customs is concerned. They may be thinking it's ball bearings and of course since the govt was shut down I'm sure this got pushed to the back of line.
I had the same issue with getting bearings and having them clear customs. It took almost 3 weeks between the time we ordered a set and when they finally arrived. I was amazed that there were so few in the country. At the time we placed the order we couldnt even source a complete set from anywhere in the country. Wonder if they will stock more in the US now that there is an uptick in bearing issues on some of these engines....
