Should buyer reviews punish the product or the seller when shipping takes 3 weeks?

I ordered a board game from a small shop in Oregon last month, got it 22 days later, and now I'm torn on whether to rate them low for slow shipping or rate the actual game high since it was fine when it finally showed up. Where do you draw the line between the product itself and the whole buying experience in your reviews?

Haha oh man, this is the eternal debate of online shopping right here. It's like asking if you should blame the mailman for burning your pizza. Honestly, I'd probably mention the slow shipping in the review but still give the game itself a fair rating, maybe a 4 instead of a 5. But yeah, the whole experience matters too, especially if it's a small shop that should know better than to use carrier pigeon delivery.
