Europe manages it instantly, or in rare cases that I've never seen in under 10 seconds. Honestly, three days is sad, its 2025, do they print it and put the boxes on a plane?

They transfer nightly xml files over FTP. It’s a whole thing.

I legit can't tell if that's a joke or not

It's a joke. They actually use FXP orchestrated by a third party, unencrypted.
It's very efficient.
